To think these university facilities are shockingly shite?

Before you all start I know it's not my battle to fight and DD is accepting of the facilities but, hey, I've just been deserted by a child and I'm allowed some leeway to be disgruntled.

Moved DD2 to university recently to her dream course, that's all wonderful.

She didn't get any of her 3 accommodation choices and has ended up in a very old (30+ years?) block which is actually materially better than we expected.

BUT there's 15 girls (university doesn't mix sexes ffs) across 2 floors sharing 2 showers 2 loos. Meh that's sort of bearable. Even though you have to buy your own loo roll.

The kitchen is obviously a converted bedroom. So you can imagine the size of it .

There's 6 cupboards (2 of them wall so very shallow). And 3 drawers. So there's not even a cupboard shelf each.

There's one fridge freezer.

One undercounter fridge and three undercounter freezers.

Not even half a fridge shelf each.

Plenty of freezer space though.

2 free-standing cookers which is probably manageable.

No table. Obviously. As the room is a student bedroom.

There's a breakfast bar tucked in between
Bedrooms in the corridor with room for two people to sit at. But there's only one stool .

No common room or any communal space in the building. Nowhere to bond with flatmates really.

If she'd just have been allocated the same block but two flats across there would have been 8 to a large kitchen with a fecken table . This was the block open in applicants day Hmm and I counted 5 cupboards in that so still under resourced but definitely doable in comparison.

She's happy and doesn't want to swap as people are all lovely which is the Main Thing and I'm so relieved she's content - i don't want to interfere or achieve anything. And she's 18 - she'll adapt as hundreds of students have in this Halls before her.

Just want my AIBU to be:

AIBU to think these facilities are fecken pants?
