I've spent a lot of time around UK unis, and yeah, it just seems weird that accomadation would be seperate. Not really though about the showers- sometimes I think they have seperate male and female areas (thats the norm) or possibly central ones with private cubciles only (some swimming pools do this now too.) That said, more and more places now have en-suite anyway , and furthermore the traditional "dorm" - with several beds- is really non-existant.
It's rare-ish in the UK to even have a roommate, although it's perfectly reasonable for couples to share rooms.
After all, students are adults!
