Hey there. I went to college and had IBS. The best thing to be is open with your roommate and friends. It depends where you are going to school and where you decide to live (on campus, off campus). Most rooms on campus have at least one bathroom in the room. You and your roommate/roommates may have opposite schedules so you don't have to worry. Know what triggers your IBS and try to stay away from it. Let me know if you have any other questions.
