One of the reasons so many stories from college sound like a summer camp is college dorms, or at least older ones, are still built for human habitations. Dozens of people share one laundry room. Living spaces are tiny but there are tons of common areas. Instead of each atomized individual cooking an atomized individual meal there's a big efficient kitchen where a dozen people feed hundreds of people. You don't have to fuck around with your artificial gasoline powered cow for hours every sunday so you don't get ransomed by your HOA because the school has a small number of really big, efficient gasoline powered cows and they have a very small number of people take care of all the lawns and gardens and shit.

So students who live in dorms and don't need to hold down a full time job or raise kids or whatever have SO MUCH FUCKING TIME that would otherwise be taken up doing all the stupid single family detached atomized nightmare house shit. And there are people everywhere to do stuff with! And places to do stuff! Shitty bars, college green spaces and libraries, little shitty restaurants, little shitty theaters and whatever the fuck. You're not communiting two hours a day, you can walk to all the places you need to be. YOu're not living in a tiny consumer storage unit, you're living in a shitty box with shitty furniture from the seventies next to dozens of other people. You know the people having bed breaking sex in the hex dorm room over because you see them in the halls and cafeteria and showers and everywhere teh fuck else every goddamn day.

"middle class" kids go from suburbia hell where they spend most of their time at rigidly controlled schools and the rest of their time lost in the center of suburbia hell (Any point in suburbia hell is the center of suburbia hell), to a pro-human environment designed for humans to live in, and then 1-3 years later depending on how long they spend in the dorms they go back to suburbia hell and spend the rest of their miserable fucking lives driving from office/factory/retail hell to suburbia hell.

And people who do live in multi-dwelling dwellings don't have pro-human dwellings designed for humans. They live in smaller, shittier, even worse suburbia hell. Small shitty apartments have to have small shitty kitchens and bathrooms and living rooms shoved in to them. Instead of having small living spaces and lots of shared communal spaces apartments reproduce all the problems with single family detached houses BUT SMALLER AND WORSE
