For various complicated reasons DS is a late applicant at Uni.
Anyway he's missed the deadline for guaranteed university accommodation and there's another application round starting this week, but they've warned that there might not be much available.
He has had a terrible struggle with his mental health since watching is father die a long, slow, painful death over more than a year during Covid, including a period when he had to help with his personal care and then struggling to come to terms with the whole thing. He's doing better now, hence the new start at Uni, but he's a long way from "well".
Do you think it's worth trying to talk to the accommodation team to ask for some sort of priority because he's "vulnerable"? I'm not usually one for pulling strings (I don't eve buy fast passes 
) and I have left him to sort out everything for himself up to now (as part of proving he's well enough to go), but I do think being in halls would be much better for him in his specific circumstances and it feels like he's due a bit of help after what he's been through.
Do they ever take things like this into account?
