Birmingham Conservatoire - 2016 Undergrad Studies

Original post by Holly Teague

... Well I have NOOOOO idea what's going on but I'm going to Bham Conserv in Sept to be a soprano - happy days!

Is anybody else doing same/similar please? And if you are ... do you know ANYTHING about accomodation? ... Where am I going to live?!

I am going to Birmingham Conservatoire for piano! I can only find you on here who is going as well! :P I think most students stay in the clv, and I went to a summer school at Chetham's and shared a room with a girl who loved it a Bham (she's in her fourth year) and she said that most people miss out on social stuff if they don't stay in the clv! I have no idea about applying for accommodation though!!

Hi, I'm going to Birmingham Conservatoire for composition! Clv is the only place I could find for accommodation, it looks quite nice though. Do you have any idea if there will be a freshers group on Facebook? It looks like there have been in the past but I can't find anything for 2016, it might be too early though.

I just accepted my place to do piano at Birmingham conservatoire! Anyone had any luck with accommodation? I've been signing up on clvuk.com/birmingham but there's no option to specify that you are a conservatoire student?

Hi there!

Congratulations to you all for your places! As you've mentioned the most common place for Conservatoire students is CLV (now known as My Student Village) as it's nearby and has it's own built in practice rooms! You can find out more here, although we do have other locations available.

If you have any further queries about how to apply you can contact accommodation services. You may also receive an email with some information about accommodation this month.

All the best! :smile:

Can we apply for accomodation at any time, or does it start from a certain date?

Hi PegMeg24,

You can apply for accommodation from 1 March 2016 if you're starting study in Sep 2016. You just need to have accepted us as your firm choice first, and we'd suggest doing this as early as possible! You must have made your application by 31 July 2016.

You can check our room allocation policy for more details.

Best,
Lydia (BCU Team)

Well this is exciting - I've found other people going to Birmingham Conservatoire :-D

I'll be studying composition too, OMack - I'd love to hear some of your music! What kind of stuff are you writing at the moment? As for flat allocation, I got mine through a few days ago which is making everything seem so real and imminent.

Can't wait to meet you all :-)

I have a good friend who's at college now and living at clv - I stayed with him for a few days in February for the Frontiers Festival and it really is lovely! Ideally located and the sofas can make a surprisingly comfortable bed if shoved together. Where are you guys from?

I am glad! Are the rooms tiny, or okay? When I have been to visit friends in Cardiff uni, their rooms were so tiny!

I am from North Wales! What about you? :smile:

The rooms were actually quite a decent size, compared with others I've seen in uni/college halls.

Absolutely love North Wales - I've spent many a happy summer in a cottage about half way between Harlech and Porthmadog. Plus, my mum's family is from the valleys in the south so Wales really feels like home. Oh and I'm from Sheffield :-)

Hi! It's nice to hear from someone who is composing too! At the minute I'm composing anything and everything, what about you? If you want to find me on Facebook my name is Oliver Mack.

Do you guys know anything about a 2016 freshers Facebook page/chat?
Thanks :smile:

The only Facebook group I've been able to find is the Freshers 2015/16... Maybe they never start it up until much nearer the time?
