Student accommodations could include nothing more than a small private bedroom, ie shared lounge/common space, no kitchen and shared bathrooms.
It is more common now for a modest size one bedroom "loft" style place with a bed and a study area, a private bathroom and a shared lounge/common area that includes a smaller kitchen style area ie no oven and often no fridge and each room has a private mini fridge. Often to make up for the lack for full kitchens there is a dining hall or food court style service in the building.
There is a chance they push it more is a low cost rental and include full kitchens. They could also structure these so preference is given to post-secondary students, perhaps in partnership with U of W, sort of politely suggesting to non-students that this isn't necessarily your first choice residence long term.
