alas personal trainers are prohibited from the gym i go to (it's a uni gym). i don't think they have their own personal trainers either

Not sure, I also don't know if it's enforced? It might be that the gym is HELLA crowded as it is - maybe 200 people max capacity for a ~25k student population. PTs would make that worse I guess??

Look into whatever options you have to have someone show you how to do stuff correctly, like maybe a nearby Y

i'm overexaggerating how bad my form is. i'd def find someone to teach me for free weights or for running, but for the machines, they have instructions on the side.

It is pretty big. Like, it has basketball courts, pools, weight rooms, weight and cardio machines, etc. Crowding in the locker rooms is the worst part tho, they hold maybe 40 people, maybe 80 if people were okay with lots of accidental physical contact.

Does your college have a Kinesiology program? A student population that big probably has students that you could work out a mutually-useful arrangement.
