I know I posted this in the college life section, but I’d like to hear a parent’s perspective who possibly when through the special needs housing process.

My college offers medical/psychological and learning disability special needs housing. I am thinking of applying for the medical special needs housing because I suffer from frequent migraines. Medications have stopped helping me altogether and the only thing that seems to help is rest. I frequently get nauseous during my migraines and will throw up. It drives my roommate crazy when I get a migraine because she can’t really come into the room since I really need complete silence and darkness. I was planning on trying to obtain a single through the lottery, but when I told my friend about the reason behind why I wanted a single she thought I may be able to apply for special needs housing.

I was wondering if you all thought if this was a valid medical reason for a single.

Thanks!
