Are University Students So Far Up Their Own Jacksies
They have to have a hissy fit over what appears to be nothing?.

I fail to see what the problem is. Unless they actually say what the problem is or was they are acting just like a bunch of nursery kiddies having a hissyfit because they don't like something.

It seems as if all these youngsters are so used to being pandered to that they cannot accept being opposed. Just look at the reactions to the Referendum and the US election. It an 'I want...' attitude and it appears that no one has ever told them that they can't always have and that there are other, valid arguments.
They are ridiculously bound-up in themselves and think that they cannot be wrong.

Having everything taken care of for you means that your by-definition level of intelligence can turn its attention to matters of importance.
Unfortunately, because of your lack of age and experience, assessing what is actually important is a bit of a minefield, and as such, you are prone to getting it wrong - thinking something is seriously important when it is not.
Add to that the fact that you are still developing a personality, aided by nominal independence for the first time in your young life, you become hyper-sensitive to the notion that anyone is belittling you, or inferring that you are to be decried or your feelings trifled with.
Add all that together, and you get students failing to understand the difference between simple friendly conversation designed to put you at your ease, and a serious incident of insulting and potentially illegal sexist sledging.
Inversely proportional to the amount of damage actually inflected - zero - is the amount of righteous outrage you feel, with commensurate desire for the world to hear about it, and those 'responsible' to be hauled over the coals and made to atone - total.
And that ladies and gentleman, is what brings us to this situation.
It appears that the university staff - no strangers to the nonsense created by young minds with too much time on their hands - are going to sort it out, and for the rest of us of sufficient age, it merely remains to shake our heads, mutter something like 'Young people today ...' and carry on.
