So essentially, because our parents had awful student accommodation, we also need to have awful student accommodation if we want the 'right' university experience? I fail to see how an ensuite can have a negative impact on your time at uni. You still share a kitchen and living space.

Well, it's team building. Fancy having an En-suite *and* a flatscreen television in your university accommodation. I find that doesn't teach the skills of frugality that you must learn as part of your university experience.

I think it all comes down to intentions. If you go to university with the intention of gaining new skills then having a flatscreen TV and your own place to pee won't affect that. You will still go out of your way to gain new skills. I mean, you still have to buy everything yourself. You have to do your own shopping. Your ensuite doesn't change that.
I don't really think OP's argument is compelling, as Legendary pointed out, times change, standards of living improve. I enjoy the odd bit of classical music from the late 19th/early 20th century, but that doesn't mean that I refuse to use anything other than a gramophone to listen to it with lest I have an 'inauthentic experience'. Bad living conditions aren't an integral quality of student living, just a product of having relatively little money to spend. As times move on and everyone has a little more disposable income, it's not unreasonable to want to have stuff like en-suites.

Kids going into 30-40k debt to spend 3 years doing gender studies or media studies... Probably not bothered about being "Frugal"

Hyperlink's still got the colon, might wanna edit
So we should opt for non-ensuite... why? There's still the same amount of each accommodation whether we take it or not. If I don't take an en-suite room, someone else'll have it instead and nothing on the grand scale will change.

No, it's not about that. It's for you, because through having a non En-Suite you are practising your team-building and frugality skills!

To borrow from one of the commenters in the comment section:
"I thought (and from personal experience) that living in a crowded, damp and grotty hovel was part of character building when you were a student!"
It certainly is a unique and important experience.

I'll stick to actual team building with group projects and spending frugally in everything else thanks. Why would I want to live uncomfortably for 4 years, especially when I'll be working hard for most of the time. I don't want to put up with other crap after a 9-6 at uni.
