sleepwalking

<p>ok, i have 2 questions.
1. so i have this little problem of sleepwalking at night and doing some disruptive things. but my parents never had me diagnosed or put me on medication. so if i want to tell the disability department that I need a single room for housing, would they help me without having actual proof that i have some sort of disability?
2. i have ANOTHER disability which i really can't talk about since it's so embarrassing. so would the college allow me to pay extra money to guarantee me a single room?</p>

<p>Talk to the disabilities office at your college, but you will likely need medical documentation to get accommodations. If it was that easy to get a single, there’d be a lot more disabled college students ;)</p>

<p>

If your college has regular singles for freshmen, you can simply apply for those. If they don’t, you would need to go the disabilities route.</p>

<p>Firstly…You can’t talk about something embarrassing online? In the full anonimity of the internet? Then why even make mention of the fact that its embarrassing in the first place? Why not just say you have two disabilities and leave it at that? Why would you wet our curiosity? Why would you dangle such juicy insight into your anonymous life only to snatch it away? WHY?! - rhetorical questions typed in jest</p>

<p>To be serious though this situation deals directly with your schools policies. So you have two options.

  1. Don’t say anything at all and get placed with a roommate.
  2. Contact your school directly with your questions.</p>

<p>I recommend option 2. Contacting your school directly, sounds like this is information you want to make available to them so they can better assist you, and withholding anything could just put you in akward situations where you needlessly involve a second party.(your roommate)</p>

<p>Wetting the bed?</p>

<p>Never live in the past but always learn from it.</p>

<p>I sleepwalk as well (on rare occasions) and didn’t get a single because of the cost. I just let my roommate know that at some point I might be wandering around the room at 3 am for no apparent reason. She was fine with it, and we didn’t have any issues. </p>

<p>" i have ANOTHER disability which i really can’t talk about since it’s so embarrassing. so would the college allow me to pay extra money to guarantee me a single room?" </p>

<p>If they have the space, they will probably let you have the single. If it’s wetting the bed like another poster asked, your roommate won’t know about it unless you broadcast it somehow.</p>

<p>Ask your college!!! Yes, you’ll probably need proof/documentation of your medical problem(s). Colleges almost always have options for medically handicapped students.</p>
