But the OP is not the same person, it is just a random coincidence that they have live in the same halls, are on the same course, have identical medical conditions ... and exactly the same style of endless complaining! :T

Cheered me right up, reading that. Not only do they contradict themselves over and over, they refuse to help themselves and just moan constantly.

Some people just seem to ask/plead for help, then throw it all back at the people who are offering reasonable, rational and fair suggestions and advice

mumps - my post was like that as I was so !!!!ed at the "woe is me" attitude. And in answer to sh, I DON'T cope, but I get support to try and help me cope. My DSA had thankfully been sorted so I can buy my books and get stuff photocopied for me, so I can have a mentor help me with what other students can do on their own. Yes, I'll be carrying a bigger laptop, and a stand, but if a few kilos on me is what it takes to help, then I'll do it.

In fairness, the OP knew they had back conditions, they know laptops weigh a bit, so why not ask for a dictaphone, record them and type them up later (this is the way I had to do things)

Better yet, why not go with the original recommendations, which catered for that! Numpties...

Never mind folks, only another 3 and 1/2 years of this to go! :rotfl:

Although, then we will move onto employers and the DDA no doubt! :rolleyes:

If that's the case, won't be coming into this section! Should be employment

Good point!

However, I can guarantee the uni will need to be sued for something.

How about:

'Can I sue the uni as they failed to meet the requirements of the DDA and I came out with less than I should, and now I can't earn £50k within three months of graduating...?'
