Cold student room when rest of the house is fine

Could you try contacting the letting agency/landlord. They may be able to supply an electric heater or improve the current system? I have no idea what/if they have to do anything though. I’m not familiar with the rules and regulations.

Are the other 2 rooms in the extension also cold?

A thermometer and humidity gauge will help determine the actual and perceived temperature. Humidity makes cold feel colder. I used to have a bedroom where the water would freeze on the glass of water by the bed. 😬. A desiccant based dehumidifier will help enormously with damp and will slightly warm the run without exorbitant energy bills. more importantly, they work down to lower temperatures than compressor based ones. https://www.airconcentre.co.uk/products/ecoair-dd1-simple-desiccant-dehumidifier-ecodd122sim?variant=15428686381154&currency=GBP&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=google+shopping&gclid=CjwKCAjw8MD7BRArEiwAGZsrBaA3_kafZDJrkH2IA4Fa6lE9aaSXhT3ChN78rXkPfp3YRwQUHVtlEhoCEEkQAvD_BwE if you're working in there and don't want to heat the whole room, a quartz / halogen based heater directed towards the legs from a couple of feet away will massively help you feel warmer. (About £12 and only 600-800w)

I've got this dehumidifier and can confirm it's fantastic
