Anybody have experience of welfare/disability support at Newnham College?

Hi guys, I have an offer for a PhD at Newnham College in October. I just wondered if anybody can share their experiences of welfare provision at the college, and/or support for disabled students. Also thoughts on this kind of support at Cambridge as a whole.
So far I haven't been getting good signals based on my communications with them, and it's making me wonder if I should stay at Oxford instead. Oxford has been alright in terms of supporting me over my undergrad and Masters. Not amazing, but at least it's a system I know how to navigate.
I would love to hear people's experiences!

Also as a side note, how is life at Newnham given that it's a women's college? I went to a girls school when I was younger and I hated it, so I'm not really keen on that. I'd be interested to hear about daily life there, especially as a postgrad. I would be living out if I go, so I'm thinking I won't have much of a college life, if any, which is a shame.
