Idk how to use the bathroom without a water sprayer - starting uni and need help!!!!!

I am starting uni as a fresher in october and have to share 2 toilets toilet with 14 other people. None of the toilets have a water sprayer/muslim shower, and that is the only way I use the bathroom (I don't use toilet paper). I am super uncomfortable about this as I have no idea what to do now. If I had my own ensuite it would be fine as I could keep a water jug in there, but I can't and I dont want to look weird and take a big jug with me every time I need the bathroom. Please help me, sorry for such a weird question but im freaking out and need help pls!!!

Why can't you just keep a smallish, plastic jug next to the toilet?

Don't feel embarrassed I used to carry a jug with me everytime when I was in school and if someone ever asked what it was for I'd just explain. I'd assume that people in uni are grown up enough to not make others feel embarrassed about their religious obligations and also its more hygienic than just using toilet paper :smile:
