Disability services offices and their residence life counterparts on residential campuses report an upsurge in housing accommodation requests for anxiety. Typically, students with a diagnosis of anxiety from a health care provider seek a single room as an accommodation. Because anxiety is a universal human experience, it does not follow from a diagnosis that the student has a disability, or that a single room is an appropriate accommodation.
