Part of the problem might be because you are using a “new lab computer” and who knows what they’ve cooked up in the lab?
Try this for starters:
$ apt list | grep gnome-terminal
WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.
gnome-terminal/xenial,now 3.18.3-1ubuntu1 amd64 [installed]
gnome-terminal-data/xenial,xenial,now 3.18.3-1ubuntu1 all [installed]
If it doesn’t say “[installed]” at the end of the last two lines then let’s install it with:
sudo apt install gnome-terminal
Hopefully the problem is as simple to fix as that…

Sounds like you need to use:
sudo rm /usr/bin/python3
sudo ln -s python3.5 /usr/bin/python3
