Here in Australia, fridge magnets are extremely popular. Also, businesses and local governments give you fridge magnets in the form of business cards, or little magnet-back pads. So, if for instance the power goes off, you look at your fridge to get the number to call.
In the 1960's I was a student. The student accommodation was more basic than in this video - smaller rooms (no room for a fridge), one shower & toilet room per floor, 15 students per floor, no kitchens. We could eat at a canteen run by the university (food disgusting and not really edible), or at a canteen run by the student guild (food quite nice, but twice the cost). But, the building was only 2 years old and in perfect condition. No heating but you don't need it in Australia.
Natasha: Was the building in this video originally built for student accommodation, or for worker housing? We have read about shared kitchens being common in Soviet era residential towers, so, relatively speaking, as students you have it quite good.
