In a student house with the lads I've shared with since second year :smile: selly oak is mint. There's a couple of studio/studenty flats complex things being built at the mo should be ready for September if you can't get in to Vicky Halls but don't know how expensive it would be.

I have an unconditional offer for computational neuroscience and cognitive robotics. Just considering my other options though this is my favourite.

I've been looking at accommodation recently. University accommodation is not guaranteed but worth applying for anyway I guess. Though there does seem to be a lot of private options available from studios to single en suite rooms.

MSc in physics here. I have been looking into accommodation too but it is proving annoying. Anyone have any ideas on what to do about year long courses? all the accommodation outside of uni owned seems to span july through june

I have found plenty when searching for postgraduate accommodation. They all seem to be either 50 or 51 week contracts. Though wildly varying prices. Need to go on a day of viewings myself at some point.
Hi All!

If you're looking at Private Accommodation take a look at Edge Apartments and Brook Studios, we're really close to the University and are ideal for Postgraduates. Let us know if you would like to come see us for yourselves :smile:

Hey! I'll be commuting from Coventry. I've been working in my local hospital as a healthcare assistant for the past 3 and a half years whilst studying for a degree in biomedical science (graduated November 2014). How about you?!
