<p>Kind of similar to what schrizto said. Also a better term would be “kitchenette” not kitchen. There is no Oven or stove top either. I think it has to do not only with maintenance, but general safety. A huge dorm of 200+ people probably should have an oven or stove (or toaster, etc.) that has an ability to have a heating element (i.e. coils) accidentally be left on. In small apartments, where an access to a full kitchen is limited solely to the inhabitants OF that apartment, allows for less of a liability problem. Plus it’s much easier to place blame on the inhabitant of a 3-person apartment (clearly one of them did it) that it is on a huge dorm (anyone could have done it). Pitt essentially doesn’t feel like being responsible for THAT many people. That’s my guess at least.</p>
