Birmingham postgraduate international student

I'm going to attend the University of Birmingham this September, and I'm an outgoing person. I'm quite sensitive to noise and cleanliness. I’d like to participate in social gatherings but also want to focus on my studies. Given my situation, which type of accommodation do you think would suit me best? This will be my first time living abroad, so any advice would be appreciated.

Hey, I’m also an internation postgraduate student. Tbh, I’m also very confused about the accommodation, as it is my first time living abroad as well. Would love to connect with you.

Hey! Same here, I’m an international student too, and it was my first time living abroad when I came to Birmingham. I totally get the confusion around accommodation and I spent hours researching!
I ended up choosing a postgrad en-suite in university accommodation because it gave me privacy (my own bathroom) but also a shared kitchen to meet others. It has worked really well for finding a balance between quiet study time and having a social circle.😃
If you want fewer distractions, I’d avoid party-heavy halls and maybe look for postgrad-only blocks or quieter options like Chamberlain or Jarratt Hall. 😄
