DSA for ensuite accommodation at uni
Hi, I'm applying to uni and am wondering if there's any way to get money off of the cost for ensuite accommodation especially as prices are going up so much. Would I either be able to get a DSA to help pay my rent or go directly through the uni and ask them for financial aid with the cost of the rooms off the back of an autism diagnosis? If I tell them that being autistic makes sharing a bathroom with other people a source of stress (not untrue) is there any chance I could get help with that?
Thank you
Thank you
If your accommodation is owned or associated with the university then they are responsible for providing accessible accommodation for you at no extra cost. If it is a private accommodation then DSA funding is possible to pay the difference in cost between that and ‘standard’ accommodation. However you will need medical evidence to support you request for specialist accommodation in order to be eligible for dsa funding towards it
