Finding student accommodation is often a crucial step in the transition to university life, but it can be particularly complex for students with disabilities. To make the process easier and ensure a suitable living environment, we've put together a list of tips to help you.
- Before you begin your search for student accommodation, it's crucial to assess your specific accessibility needs.
Identify the features of the student accommodation that will be essential in facilitating your daily life, whether they be ramps, elevators, wider doors or adapted facilities. - Start your student housing search as soon as possible to give yourself enough time to find the options that are right for you. Ask FAC-HABITAT teams for details of the facilities available in the residence or accommodation.
- Opt for student accommodation close to essential services such as public transport, supermarkets and medical services. Proximity to these shops and services will make your daily life easier and reduce the need to commute.
- Check out student services: universities often offer services dedicated to students with disabilities. Contact them for advice and recommendations.
The law recognizes and protects students with motor, sensory, cognitive or psychological disabilities.
