Generally, the front door opens onto the central corridor, and all the rooms come off of that. So does the kitchen/living space. In ensuite halls, you obviously have a bathroom coming off of your own room, only accessible by you, and shared bathroom flats have them accessible from the main corridor.

ahhh okay thats what my friends accomodation in Manchester is like I'd prefer that I just thought it was like a flat with several rooms with what the site said haha, I probably should have looked at accomodation in person >.<

I've heard CCE is a smaller course, so there may not be any students who do it on this forum. You might be better off emailing the programme director who should be able to recommend something useful for the coming year.

i'm in aitken, hiii! haha what about aitken weren't you sure about? it is the smallest halls on the vale but it's definitely not quiet and boring. most of the flats are like little houses in that you have the kitchen, some bedrooms and a bathroom downstairs and then more bedrooms and another bathroom upstairs which i think is really cool (there are most 6 people in each flat but 9 in one of them). The kitchens and bedrooms in aitken are quite a bit bigger than in other halls..
have you been to one of the accommodation taster days?

Hey even i thinking for atiken ..plz plz plz more details ... that is only cheap option for pg students from this year ...so i am bit worried and thinking atiken or other private halls like opal one, iq etc... plz help me

hiya what would you like to know about aitken?

it's on the vale which is the student accommodation village, there are 3 blocks with something like 29 flats with 6-9 people in each flat. there's a kitchen and two bathrooms in each flat and some are built like houses in that they cover two floors and some are more corridor-like.

opal1 and iq are right in the city so a much larger distance from the university, you would need to get a bus or walk for a long time to university every morning/afternoon, aitken is only a 20 minute walk from anywhere on campus.

it's a great hall and i'm very sad that it is no longer undergrad!

anything else i can help you with?

Not doing languages, but generally during the second week, you do all your admin which includes meeting your tutor. This is probably when you will select which pathway you choose and which languages you do and will be signed off by your tutor.

Hi guys, I'm not sure this is the right thread to ask this question but I hope someone will help me:
I have a conditional offer to study at the uni of Birmingham and today I got the results of my exams. I have met the conditions of the offer!
Now I wonder what I need to do: I guess I need a sort of certificate from my school to prove that, but should I send the original or a copy? do I need to send any other documents?
Thanks in advance (I'm an EU student)

It will likely depend on the way in which you applied to the university. You might want to contact the Admissions department directly and they'll give you a concrete answer:

General enquiries
Undergraduate and Postgraduate Admissions
Email - admissions@bham.ac.uk
Telephone - +44 (0)121 415 8900 or +44 (0) 414 5488

Hi,
I have a(n annoyingly?) vague question about studying at Birmingham. What are the main pros and cons about the city and the location? What is the city like to live in, are there nice places to go, is there anywhere nice outside of the city, etc. I've been to an open day and now would just like some student opinions if possible..
Thanks ~

Hey there. I've just finished my first year at Birmingham, so I'll do my best to give you my point of view on this.

Firstly, pros on location:
- You get the best both a campus uni and a city uni. Birmingham having it's own campus means everything is self-contained and in easy walking distance. All your friends should live really close to you and it won't take you ages to get to your lectures. It also only takes 7 mins on the train to get to the city centre and costs £1.30 return with a railcard. Taxis also only cost £2-£3 if there's a few of you in the car. There's an Aldi in Selly Oak which is cheap for food, and if you're living on the Vale, a lot of people shop at Tesco at Five Ways. Most supermarkets will also deliver
- Birmingham has really good rail links. It's really easy getting home and visiting friends all over the country.

Cons:
- For me, not many! I guess it depends what you're looking for, but Birmingham's location is pretty perfect to me. Obviously if you hate cities and love the countryside then it might not be the best place, similarly if you live somewhere remote in the North then it might not be the most convenient location in terms of getting home easily.

Nice places outside Birmingham:
- I am so glad you asked!! I know so many students that come to uni here and don't travel outside of the Selly Oak/Vale/City Centre bubble! There are soooo many nice places really close! For example, just 20 minutes walk or so from Selly Oak there's Canon Hill Park which is huge and absolutely gorgeous. A few minutes on the train to Barnt Green will take to Lickey Hills which is incredible countryside so close to Birmingham! The Malverns and Wales are also a short train ride away, so if you get sick of the city and are desperate for some countryside then it's really easy to get away!

Wow thanks! This is just the kind of answer I was hoping for.
