University of Birmingham Accommodation

Hi I'm looking into Athena as a back up if i dont get Birmingham halls! Anyone here in the same boat or already confirmed to live in Athena Studios?

Is this true for postgraduates too? If so, I'd be really disappointed as I've had an unconditional offer for ages now!

Please help! Anyone familiar with Birmingham as I am not from the UK. For rooms I have 3 choices
1. Athena studios
2.Metchley Hall
3. Clv Birmingham

Any suggestions would be appreciated as my choices are very limited now. Thank you!!!

Anyone in Liberty Gardens? Flat 9-A

Ah accommodation has been allocated. Luckily I rung up otherwise I would still be waiting.
I'm now considering Brook Studios. The on-site gym is a big plus for me. Is anyone else looking to go here?

Edit: secured my deposit for a studio.

It's a nice studio. But with train and transportation it's about half hour I was told. I'm considering it but I prefer walking distance

I'm waiting as well! Really really want Jarratt Hall, but any accommodation would be nice. I've only been unconditional for a few weeks, but I applied months and months ago. It's a shame that UK PG students just have to wait and see.

Alternative to options from the Guarantee scheme
1. House shares and private rented accommodation:
There is a good supply of student shared houses in the local area.
A House of Multiple Occupancy (HMO) can range from three to seven bed properties and involves sharing the communal spaces such as the kitchen, lounge and bathroom. Please note when looking into this option utilities and internet are not usually included so you will have to consider this when budgeting for a property. If you would like to explore this option further then we offer the following university approved services who work only with MLAS (Midland Landlord Accreditation Scheme) accredited landlords to ensure properties are of a certain quality and standard.

Birmingham Studentpad is the University’s official property search engine offering not only a search engine to find suitable rooms within houses or whole houses, but also an online message board where you can advertise that you are looking for rooms or flatmates. All of the landlords and agents are accredited and agree to the code of practice.
