It's supposed to get to 28here but will no doubt be hotter in the sun. So I will be inside till this evening.
Proserpina, it may be that your flat mates feel the same? Maybe get together and give the whole place a good scrub. If you can all go over the kitchen together it will enable you to use it.
Can you paint? I lick of emulsion in your room wood make it feel fresher...and then I would go for all Mikeys suggestions.
I would choose some salad leaves to grow, even cress ( I love that in a sandwich) maybe a pot of radish? What is the kitchen window like? Could you use that?
#both my sons live in student digs - they are never very nice but they always Chuck some white paint on the walls - and the DIY people are always allowed access. That may be in written in your contract.
