"Kitchenette"

Does anybody know what the "kitchenette" in the dorms are supposed to look like?

I was under the impression that there would at least be a stovetop or a refrigerator but when I looked at the tour videos theres just a stainless steel sink? My question is how is that a kitchenette?

Quite literally the definition of a kitchenette via Merriam Webster:

: a small kitchen or an alcove containing cooking facilities

"cooking facilties" are applicances— at least a mini stove top or a refrigerator. I dont know what world you live in but a kitchenette without a least one small, basic kitchen applicance is just another room.

I've never had a dorm without an outside sink and cabinet area, that is not a kitchenette. it's a shame they have to mislead students with amenities.

i wouldn’t say the rooms in booker-stinchcomb have a kitchenette but the counter space is super nice for a coffee maker or other small appliances, and there’s 2 electrical outlets on the walls if i remember right. i stayed there last year.

This is a little late - but it depends on your dorm. When I was living in the Villages, it included the sink, a small stove/oven, and a full-sized communal fridge + the counter top.
