I see a lot of this wainy1. Student accommodation is becoming a free for all in respect of Building Regs. I was brought in to look at one scheme that sounds similar to yours where they were having 40 unwanted fire alarms per week.
I would have a close look at the fire alarm configuration. Multi sensor heads can be configured in so many different ways, some such as the Gent Vigilon SQuads multi sensor detector sounders are brilliant and can be configured so smoke gives a local alarm in the room of origin and at security desk but heat gives a general alarm in the communal areas, some open protocol systems are not so clever. Whether you want to give the person in the room itself a warning of smoke is down to the policy of the accommodation provider - if you do - and most Unis do- then it needs a clever well thought through C&E with multi sensors or domestic smoke alarms in the studios so only 1 person is inconvenienced. I have seen the vent fan linked to the cooker on switch, helps a bit to reduce unwanted alarms but does not eliminate them.
The cookers tend to come with rules, such as no frying, not sure if that can be made to stick though! In most cases you have to pass the cooker to get from the bed to the door and there isn't usually enough room to swing a cat. On the other hand travel distances are usually very short.
The worst cases I have found are in pod based studio units where the pods are brought onto site fully fitted out and stacked on top of each other many storeys high, all fully wired plumbed and vented, you end up with all services brought into communal areas for each pod, millions of connections for water, drainage, vent ducting, wiring, fire alarms and compartmentation none existent or shot to pieces and hidden above a suspended ceiling and under a chipboard floor. Just finished dealing with one such 6 storey block with zero fire stopping and uninterrupted voids everywhere, and that one was given a completion certificate by a local authority building control. Ended up having communal areas fully gutted and a refit of the fire alarm. Oh and a dry riser put in because it was "simply overlooked" first time round!
