It depends upon what the switch is controlling and what local code might require.
For instance, a light switch can be located on the canopy of a ceiling light, to which you would attach a chain or string of suitable length to make it useful. The light switch on a street light is often mounted to the top of the enclosure where it detects the sunset and sunrise.
As for a wall switch for lights in an ordinary dwelling, National Electrical Code (in use in many countries) would require it to be no more than 2.0m (6 ft 7 in) above the floor. Code requirements for access by the disabled may limit it to 48 inches above the finished floor or something else adopted in that jurisdiction.

Why does bathroom light go off when you turn on bedroom light?
That's one I've never seen. Does the bathroom light turn ON when the bedroom light is switched Off? Does the bathroom light switch turn the bathroom light on and off normally when the bedroom light switch is left on? Need to answer these questions, then find where the bathroom light power comes from. It's power supply should either go directly from the power oanel to the bathroom light or to the bathroom light switch. The bathroom light switch merely acts as an interrupter for the hot leg of this power supply.
