Hi everyone o/
What are your experiences with International & Garden Halls? For context, I have autism/anxiety and some physical mobility issues so I'm basing my decision on which halls I move into based on that. If anyone could answer the following questions I'd be super grateful, TIA ❤️
- What is the vibe in the halls? Is it a lot of late night screaming/partying etc?
- Do the lifts consistently work? Climbing lots of stairs wont be possible for me
- Are the doors heavy? Not just main doors but any interconnecting doors you'd be going through to get to your rooms
- How friendly are the staff / how understanding are they of disability?
- Will reception sign for your parcels? I get glass bottle medication delivered which has to be signed for, what is the procedure for how they handle mail like this?
- Is there a smoking area on site or do you have to leave the building completely?
And for all my mentally unwell/ehlers-danlos or otherwise physically disabled queens:
- What was your own experience/someone you knows experience with the halls as a disabled student?
- If you/someone you know is physically disabled, did the staff help these students move their belongings into their rooms from outside the building?
