The bathroom has two sinks, one shower, two cabinets, and one toilet. What they don't supply is cleaning materials, shower curtains, and shower curtain rings.
And yes, you have to learn clean your bathrooms yourselves. There is no maid service.
Bathroom Materials:
Here are the materials you'll need for your bathroom:
-Toilet plunger
-Trash bags
-Broom & Dustpan
-Latex cleaning gloves
-Glass cleaner
-Sink cleaner
-Disinfectant spray
-Mildew remover
-Tension Bar
-Paper towel stand
-Toilet Paper: You know those giant packs that have +12 packs? Bring at least one per room. Trust me, six people use a lot of TP.
-Hand soap: What our suite did was to bring two of the large refill containers, and one of the "Bathroom Sized" bottles. This way we were able to just refill the same container without having to completely replace it.
-Latex Gloves: These will be the first thing people reach for when they have to clean the bathroom.
-Three Shower curtains: The shower itself has a bar, but does not have a curtain or rings. Use one set of rings and one curtain for the shower. When spring semester rolls around, change the curtain with the spare. The original one will be pretty nasty by the end of the first semester.
-The second one will be used for a privacy curtain for the toilet. Hang the shower curtain from the tension bar to block the toilet from view. There is a example of this in the picture section below.
-Two (or more) sets of shower curtain rings: One will be used for the shower, one for the privacy screen. I had some friends who used their extra rings to hang up their ethernet cable in their room. It can't hurt to have extras.
-Shamwow: Yes, you will want to have a package of shamwows for the bathroom. The shower curtain sometimes won't block all of the water from going onto the floor. These reusable cloths are invaluable at cleaning up the resulting puddles.
-Plastic shoe mat with sides: We used this as a place to stand in after we got out of the shower. With this, we avoided tracking water across the floor and creating a massive puddle. Again, I have an example of this in the picture section.
Picture Section:
This is the standard sink in the Cromwell bathroom. There are two of these in each bathroom, with a cabinet beneath. You can see the antibacterial wipes, the paper-towel stand, the hand soap, and the air freshener.

These are the cleaners that we had in our bathroom.
Babo scrubbing gel, Mildew cleaner, glass cleaner, disinfectant spray and wipes are on the right.
On the far right is the liquid hand soap refill container. Two of them should be fine for the whole year.
Additional cleaners.
This is the paper towel stand we had. These are very helpful, because it keeps your towels dry.
This is the bottle we refilled with the larger containers.
Of everyone I asked, nobody regretted having their own bathroom. Their benefits far outweigh the fact that you have to clean them.
And as a rule of thumb, trust your parent's suggestions about the bathroom. They probably have a lot more experience than we do when cleaning them.
