Student "Living"

I was up in Hamilton recently, going to a conference. As it the style at the time, I stayed at the local student accommodation (as did a lot of the out-of-town guests). However, what is it with all these places? They all look like... hovels.

And what the picture can't capture is that unique weird (and not pleasant) smell that assaults the nose every time you enter, no matter how much you try to air it out. Eewww.
