Just pee on your feet when your finished showering. You don't want to look like an idiot wearing flip flops do you :p.

Wear flip-flops or slippers appropriate for taking a shower in. Keep them on your feet at all times when in the bathroom. Otherwise you will get a raging case of atheletes foot.

I wore flip-flops during my 2 years in the dorms. Never caught athletes foot. Then this last Spring, I used the gym TWICE to change for my tennis class. I put my feet on the ground to change my shoes, and I caught athletes foot! So beware.

Yeah, I never wore them either, and I'm none the worse for it! In fact, I even have extra toes now!

Both. Use a cheap pair of flip flops from Wal-Mart and a bottle of that powder stuff too- works wonders, and never in the 2 years I was in a dorm with a public shower did I ever get Athlete's Foot. Now I'm in a dorm with my own private bath. :)

exactly... since you guys pee in the shower... (not that there's anything wrong with that..i guess)...
people should wear flip flops... (not must, but should)

it's like putting your foot in the public toilet bowl. yeah all pees get washed down the drain....but still disgusting...
in a way, college showers are like a toilet bowl, except it is flat and dry before you take the shower.

WEAR FLIPFLOPS...FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WEAR FLIPFLOPS.


My friend told me once he was showering and lost his balance. He caught his balance by leaning his back against the wall to break his fall. A week later the section of his back that touched the wall contracted ring worms.

no. My room was at the very end of the hall, so the bottoms of the flipflops had always dried out and accumulated a good layer of dust by the time I got to my room. If the hallways are carpeted, you're golden. Just make sure to drag your feet.

For those people who are dumb and stupid.... athlete's foot is basically the same as ring worms. :D

And I caught it on my face before.... not a pretty sight...and I got it from my kitten I think.
