Op-Ed: We Need More Toilets on Campus, and I’m Not Saying This Because I Pee my Pants Often

By

With 450 toilets and 7000 undergraduate students, Georgetown ranks 5th in the Big Ten for toilets per capita. This has to change. Georgetown students do not have enough places to relieve themselves on campus, although I have never once accidentally urinated in my trousers in my history discussion section.

 

I speak exclusively for those without a voice, the ones who make wet pissy in their pants on the long walk between Car Barn and the ICC, a walk without any accessible toilets. I, on the other hand, have never had this issue. 

 

I, with my dry, dry pants, am standing up for the majority of students who regularly wet themselves in front of Lau because they drank too much apple juice in Leo’s that morning or have to do laundry twice a week because of how wet and pissy my hamper becomes after three days. 

 

Students deserve accessible toilets, especially me, but not because I need them. It is Georgetown’s responsibility to end the epidemic of soiling that has plagued this campus for so long.
