Students with specific requirements

Single-sex accommodation

Creighton Court is formed of eight self-contained flats suitable for families and 16 flats suitable for couples and mature students. As a consequence, students do not need to interact with people of another sex in their accommodation. However, there is no dedicated space for single-sex accommodation.

The shared laundry, garden and bike sheds are not single-sex. 

Accessibility

The flats at Creighton Court are not adapted to be accessible. We work closely with the University of Reading's Disability Advisory Service to support students who require adaptations or accessible rooms. Find out more on the accessible accommodation page.
