This is hilarious because I have heard enough stories of people who lived in places like that.
I grew up in the suburbs of one of the largest cities in America, but there are times where a place like that sounds nice. I suppose the dorms here at college are pretty similar in some aspects

I recall seeing my first electrical light hanging in my GranDads home.. just a bulb on the end of what looked to be a cord (socket for the bulb ).
Then we moved to a house with electrical power.. I was going to be a city girl now... lol
Talk about memories!! I lived in a small town of 200 people... 1 gas station, 1 grocery store, no police force and 3 bars .... that was the extent of downtown! We had 4 acres of corn for a front yard and 5 acres of beans for a back yard... a barn for a garage, a creek for a swimming pool ... 4 dogs and 3 cats for companions! Those were good times .... back in the 50's!!
I remember outdoor johns and the only water was from a hand pump in the kitchen. We were poor and didn't know it.
I had an aunt (she died a few months ago) who after she married moved to a town a few miles from the town where she and my dad grew up. Her house didn't have indoor plumbing until the mid 1960s. Must have been kind of cold sitting out there in the middle of winter...
Now, when I take my lottery winnings and move there, I'm going to spend a little of that dough to make sure I have running water in the sink and a flush toilet. I'm also going to buy the biggest daggone satellite dish Harrisville, Ohio has ever seen and about thirty miles of coax for my cable modem connection.
