Hello,
I'm having some difficulty at uni with my accommodation. Since moving back after the summer, the floor I'm on has gotten so much louder than last year. I cannot sleep in earplugs due to sensory issues and this last week I haven't slept for more than 3 hours a night. I am utterly exhausted to the point of feeling drunk and cannot focus in lessons. I had to miss lessons today due to being so tired so this is starting to seriously affect my health and education. I have asked the accommodation office if I could move rooms and been told that because my contract has started I can't change now. How was I meant to know it would be louder this year before my contract started when I moved after the start date? Does anyone know if this is a reasonable accommodation to ask due to my autism as I know that there are rooms available in quieter areas.
For context my room is in the middle of a corridor, right next to the lift and opposite the entrance gate. Its also near the bins which get taken out at 5am every day and wake me up every time. Also I rebooked the same room as last year because it wasn't this loud last year and they have a misleading policy saying if you rebook the same room, you get summer free, even though I still had to pay rent in July.
