I know that st chads has mostly shared room but I’m also pretty sure that if you disclose that you’ré neurodivergent then they’ll prioritise you recieving à single room

You can also find the infirmation about the room types on the colleges websites so it's worth checking those individually. Hope this helped!!

There is a big comparison table on the website college section with the numbers of rooms. If you are neurodivergent you should be prioritised for a single room, especially if you are registered with the disability services and have this as part of your disability support plan.

Hiya,

The table on this page lists the colleges with shared rooms. For your ease, these are Grey, Hatfield, Chads, Aidans, Cuths, St Johns, Trevelyan and Castle. The exact number of shared rooms in each college is also listed in this table.

As the others have helpfully mentioned, medical reasons are given priority when allocating the type of room so I would also suggest mentioning that in the college allocation form (if there's an option to add details) and later in the room preference form (sent after college allocations are done) so that you don't get a shared room.
