If you are someone who is extremely social, living together with other students is a good start to life at university. It presents you with the opportunity of living and interacting with other students who are going through the same things you are. You can all support each other and even spend time revising and working on projects together during term time.

The rent cost is split between housemates and the cost of utility bills such as electricity, Wi-Fi and water is also divided up. And if you decide to eat together, even the food bill can go down since you will all be pitching in and cooking in bulk. This is one great way to save up a bit of money to use on other things.

All our apartments at Unihousing are in secure locations surrounded by safe neighbourhoods, with locks throughout the property. Sharing an apartment with likely make you feel much safer in case of any danger, as there are several of you. Living with housemates is also great for sharing means of transport to university and other socials like parties, which can sometime end quite late in the night. This way you can all travel together and don’t have to worry as much about getting home safely.

Our properties are all located in Selly Oak, an area commonly known as the student village, and within walking distance of the University of Birmingham. There are also multiple transport links such as the Selly Oak Train Station and various bus routes along the A38. Selly Oak is also conveniently central to various bars, restaurants and retail. This means you will always be on time for your lectures and will never miss a party or a movie at the cinema.

Shared accommodation gives you a taste of personal space and the ability to experience it within a community of friends. You can go to your own room for personal study, calls, or to relax, but have the freedom to spend time with your housemates whenever you would like.
