Imprisoning students in their accommodation is also a class issue: working class students are confined to smaller rooms, sharing bathrooms and kitchens with far more people than the richer students in plush halls with bigger rooms.

No, I would *not* have liked to be confined indefinitely to my Tocil room at Warwick with no access to a washing machine, thank you for asking.

I would have been confined to a twin room with a roommate I really didn't get on with in the best of circumstances

In the UK?! Where was that? I had no idea any unis here did that, assumed it was only the US! Bloody hell.

I had this in my first year at Edinburgh... they said it was an unexpected surge in demand, but they'd just shut one of the halls of residence the year before. Was in a larger room in a new building that was supposedly built when it seemed like a royal might go.

I thought that 20 years on they wouldn't be doing twin rooms at my uni anymore but seems they still are. For the less well-off students at least.https://www.ucl.ac.uk/accommodation/ucl-halls/self-catered-accommodation/campbell-house-east …

@MsVicButcher pointed out Royal Holloway also have shared accommodation. Had no idea they existed in the UK but imagine both institutions will say “London, innit shrug ”
