Best accommodation at Birmingham?

Can’t decide what’s the best accommodation to go for at Birmingham uni. Also I don’t know if I should go catered or self-catered... any suggestions?

Hey - You're spoilt for choice in Birmingham! BCU have their own halls of residence but most of these are with external providers such as Student Roost & Unite Students. If you look outside of these you will also find a ton more across the city - Within 1 mile of BCU you have Bentley House, Penworks House, Studios 51, Lucas Studios & The old Fire station! They all have their own unique selling points so i would suggest giving them a call or popping in if you can :smile:

This way you will get a feel for the accommodation, the people running it and you may find they have something you didn't even know you wanted! I work at Bentley House so if you want to pop in for a chat we can show you around or give us a call on 01212013870!
Hope this helps :smile:

Hey - No problem, UOB is located a little further away. They have their own uni halls which are ran by the university and the closest you will get to campus :smile:

Private accommodation providers within 1 mile of UOB are Brook Studios & Edge Apartments which are run by Hello Student. You can stay at any of the other sites i suggest above but you will need to jump on the bus to get to campus!
Hope this helps
