studio appartments

hey !! im about ready to start applying for accommodation and i was wondering if anyone has some insight on this ? i have bpd and anorexia b/p and was wondering if dsa would help cover a studio as it's deffo a need of my disabilities; there's absolutely no way i could cope with sharing a kitchen, id have a massive mental break in the first week lmao

Hello seraphimstears,
I’m not entirely sure how it works from a DSA perspective however, at my university, I got a studio during first year and paid the full costs myself. Then in second year (and hopefully in my final year also), I was given priority when came to accommodation. When given this priority, instead of paying full price for a studio, I paid the price of a standard room for a studio and the university covered the rest.
I would recommend letting the university know about your disability to see what they can do.
Hope that this helps and I’ll see if I can find anything on DSA (or someone else might be able to talk about the specifics).
