Hi! I’m a Dutch student living in Amsterdam and I’ve been diagnosed with autism and thalassemia (anemia) since childhood. I recently got accepted into Hogeschool voor de Kunsten (HKU) and will start after the summer.
I’ve been wondering if students with autism or other health conditions get any kind of priority or extra support when it comes to finding student housing in Utrecht. I’m completely new to student housing and everything around it, so I’m trying to figure out how it all works. I’ve done some research already, but most information seems pretty unclear. I did see that HKU offers support for students with autism and chronic illnesses during their studies, but I’m not sure whether that also applies to housing.
Does anyone here have experience with finding housing in Utrecht while having health conditions or disabilities? Especially people studying at HKU or another university in Utrecht? Any advice, experiences, or tips would really help :)
