Off campus housing for mental health?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Texas Tech University

<p>I have gotten into Texas Tech, and things are looking good. They even are offering me a large scholarship! The problem is that I am what you would call "severely mentally ill". I have obsessive compulsive disorder as well as psychotic disorder NOS, which is looking like it will be soon diagnosed as schizophrenia. Because of this, I need to live off-campus no matter where I go, and while I'm holding out to hear back to somewhere closer to home (<em>cough</em> UT Austin <em>cough</em>), I really like Tech. </p>

<p>What I'm wondering I suppose is how difficult will it be to appeal for off-campus housing. I simply can't have a roommate as my paranoia will be too severe and I can't handle explaining that if they rearrange things they may set me off.</p>
