I guess the main problem here is the difference in expectation and the reality of the situation the FT was put in. The OP suggests that what he was told about the facilities prior to arrival and what he now finds himself living in are different. If the university had told him there is a toilet but its outside on your balcony then he could have made an informed decision as to whether that was something he could live with.
We all have days when those annoying little things that china frequently throws up at you get a bit too much. Having an apartment or space to yourself which you find comfortable and safe and that allows you to recharge a bit is in my opinion essential.
