Why Choose Unihousing Shared Student Accommodations?
At Unihousing, our shared student accommodations provide well-designed spaces that cater to your needs. Each accommodation features double bedrooms, a bathroom or shower room, and an open-plan kitchen/living area. Fully furnished, our properties include double beds, storage solutions, study desks and chairs, fridge/freezers, washing machines, and more. Additionally, some accommodations include utility bills and high-speed 100Mb broadband in the rent. Our dedicated maintenance team ensures that any repair or maintenance issues are resolved promptly.
Beyond comfort and convenience, shared accommodation offers numerous advantages. Here’s why it could be the perfect fit for you:
1. Boost Your Social Life
If you’re a social person, living with other students is a fantastic way to ease into university life. You’ll have the chance to connect with peers who are navigating similar experiences, fostering a sense of camaraderie. From supporting each other through challenges to collaborating on projects, shared living provides plenty of opportunities to make friends and build your social network.
2. Save Money
With rising living costs in the UK, shared accommodation can help you manage your budget. Rent and utility bills, such as electricity, Wi-Fi, and water, are split among housemates. Cooking and dining together can also reduce food expenses as you share the cost of ingredients and prepare meals in bulk. These savings can free up funds for other activities and essentials.
3. Enjoy Greater Safety
Your safety is a top priority. All Unihousing accommodations are located in secure neighbourhoods and are equipped with locks throughout the property. Living with housemates can provide an added sense of security. You’ll have others around in case of emergencies, and travelling together to university or social events can make late-night commutes safer.
4. Stay Close to University and Amenities
Our properties are situated in Selly Oak, a vibrant student village within walking distance of the University of Birmingham. The area is well-connected by Selly Oak Train Station and multiple bus routes along the A38. You’ll also find an array of bars, restaurants, and shops nearby, ensuring you’re always close to both academic and social venues.
5. Balance Privacy and Community
Shared accommodation strikes the perfect balance between personal space and communal living. You’ll have your own room for studying, relaxing, or taking private calls, while also having the option to spend time with housemates whenever you choose. This blend of privacy and community fosters a supportive and enjoyable living experience.
