Attention dorm residents! How do you access water?
Do you stock up on bottled water in your fridges, or is that too expensive? Do you fill your water bottles from the bathroom faucet? Or do you have to trek down five flights of stairs just to refill? I’m curious to know how it all works for you!

Living in a dorm can definitely present some unique challenges when it comes to staying hydrated! Here are a few common strategies that students use:
Water Dispensers: Many dorms have water fountains or refill stations conveniently located on each floor. This makes it easy to refill water bottles without too much hassle.
Bathroom Faucets: While not the most glamorous option, many students do fill their bottles at the bathroom faucet. Just make sure it’s clean!
Bottled Water: Some students prefer to buy bottled water, especially if they don’t have access to filtered water. It can be more expensive, but some opt for bulk purchases or larger jugs that can be kept in the fridge.
Personal Water Filters: Some students invest in water filter pitchers or use reusable water bottles with built-in filters. This can improve the taste and quality of tap water while reducing waste.
Sharing Responsibilities: If you’re living with roommates, you can take turns or set up a system for refilling larger containers, like a 5-gallon jug, which can last longer without needing frequent refills.
Local Cafes and Dining Halls: Many dining facilities on campus will refill water bottles for free, so students can fill up whenever they pass by.
Overall, it depends on your dorm setup and personal preferences, but there are definitely ways to stay hydrated without breaking the bank! How about you? What’s your water routine?
