I didn't know until later how *spoiled* we were. My school was a lab
school for a small university with about 3500 students. On the campus,
as I can recall, we had ~9 different darkrooms for different
organizations/functions. It was so *bad*, when the Phys. Ed. Dept.
asked (later, when I was in college) for permission to build a darkroom
in their building for motion studies, they were told no ... too much
access already available. ;-)
