If your dorm has a common bathroom, how does showering work?? Can you go take a shower whenever you want to?? Also, can you use your hairdryer/hair straightener in the bathroom or can you use it in your room also?? I know every college/university is different, but generally, what are the usual rules for this situation?? I'm a bit nervous about it since I'm obsessed with my hair straightener. Thanks!!

You can shower whenever you want to, the showers never close. I usually shower at midnight haha. I think most colleges now have private shower stalls, but I recommend wearing flip-flops while showering [you never know what kind of fungi is lurking on the shower floor, gross].
You can use your hair stuff in the bathroom or in your room, whichever is easier for you. I'd say in your room might be easier, since especially in the morning the bathrooms get crowded.
