Wow, here the basements usually only have stuff like washing machines, heating equipment and storage for all sorts of clutter and tools.

I cannot imagine living in a windowless room, feels like a dungeon or torture room.

Most basements have small windows at the top and many have light wells, where the ground outside is dug away to allow light in (and to make a place for a ladder for fire safety).

The vast majority, if not all, of basements I've seen in North America have their ceiling above ground level and as such tend to be surrounded with small windows.

Many, but not all, will have their own separate entrance also.
