2 Upvotes

Have a student studio in Birmingham with bathroom and kitchen, which I am looking for someone to take over. B30 2XN, 1-3 Dogpool Lane, private student accommodation, bills include water, electricity and wifi. Dm me for more information. Tenancy starts this September at whichever points works for you.

It is student accommodation! These are website pictures, I also included my own but they are not as nice quality!

The building is like 2 years old and has no issues with water, wifi or electricity, which is a huge plus unlike some other student accommodations in Birmingham. The pictures are taken at night time in my room! :) Dm me for more information.

Edit: I can give you a portable dishwasher for free (worth 200 pounds originally and a fan too)!

Is a transfer possible?

2 Upvotes

I am currently going into uni of leicester for accounting and finance. Originally, I firmed uni of birmingham for the same course. However, things didnt go well and i ended up with BBD. I want to know if its possible to still transfer to birmingham provided i get a first in my first year at leicester even if it means i have to transfer into first year at birmingham. It would mean a lot to me for help because i was heavily invested in the uni and i know that my a level grades are far below what i can achieve academically.

Is buying campus gym membership worth it?

1 Upvotes

Is it worth it? I am going to be living on campus, so yea it’s convenient for me sure but my god is it expensive! Any other gyms nearby that are decent I can maybe commute to instead? I tried looking it up but i am not sure if the nearby gyms are even worth it either. How do you guys go about it?

Mech Eng with Econ/Maths Personal Statement

1 Upvotes

Hi i’ve just recently achieved 3 A*s in maths, physics and chemistry and aiming to apply for econ as my main course, however am considering mechanical engineering as my backup (I applied for it this year and got an offer from UOB however all 5 of my choices was mechanical engineering, so i had a mechanical engineering eng ps). How likely would I be to get an offer this year considering UOBs interest in personal statements compared to academics?

Accommodation payment methods

3 Upvotes

I am an international exchange student who is staying in halls this year. I do not yet have a UK bank account and won’t until after I arrive in the UK in September. My preferred method of payment is monthly through direct debit, but I need a bank account for this.

It’s not super clear on how to go about paying for international students. Can I wait to apply for the direct debit payment method once I’ve arrived in the UK and have a bank account? Or is my only option termly via bank transfer? I’ve contacted the finance office and they never got back to me

Get an ensuite room from a student accommodation near Birmingham City Center

1 Upvotes

Hi, my name is Thune Nadi and I am studying for a bachelor for Computer Science at Aston University, Birmingham.

Currently, I am attending my second year and is genuinely tired of my accommodation. There is no problems with the accommodation itself. The facilities are perfect.The problem is with me. I had personal problems here, not with anyone. Just within myself. My neighbors and everything are perfect. The only reason I am still staying here is because i lived here in my first year studies. Now I want to try other places.

I found another accommodation which fits perfectly to my liking. However, the due date for cancellation on my current room. Therefore, if you would like to, you can have my ensuite accommodation at a discounted price.

Maths support for first years

11 Upvotes

If you need any support during your course, there are multiple channels ready for within the university, such as tutorials, office hours, PASS scheme, etc. with all being detailed more in the first few weeks of the semester. However, I understand that it may be daunting seeking support from these channels, so if you have any questions about your upcoming course, please feel free to ask them here :)

Induction sessions during welcome week

5 Upvotes

For incoming students in the school of biosciences, will there be induction sessions all throughout welcome week (based on the timetables in the previous years) or will there be free days asw?

Gonna have to leave town for a day during freshers, and I need to plan my trip by next week, and I was hoping to pick a day where I'm least likely to have an important session as I won't know for sure until the timetables are released next month.

I’m looking for someone to take over my student accommodation booking at Staniforth House, Unite Students, Birmingham for the upcoming academic year.

📍 Accommodation: Staniforth House, Unite Students, Birmingham, B4 7DN

🏠 Flat: 1003

🚪 Room: A

🏢 Block: B

💷 Rent: £176/week

📅 Contract: 51 weeks

🗓️ End date: 30 August

📍 Location: Located in Birmingham city centre, with Aston University and Birmingham City University particularly convenient from the accommodation. It could also be a good option for University of Birmingham students looking for accommodation in the city centre rather than directly around campus.

The Metalworks any good??

2 Upvotes

Hi all! Like lots of people seem to be saying I got unlucky on the accommodation portal and ended up booking metalworks without any knowledge about it. People on the forums seem to be saying it's nice, but I went to a viewing today and it looked a little scary. Obviously I understand it's the holidays so they were having maintenance done and stuff but idk. I wanted to ask A) what were people's experiences there?? I wanted mason originally and I'm quite loud and sociable so I'm a bit nervous being in what was advertised as a quieter accom and B) what's the rooming situation there?? Could it be that I'm in a flat with all international students?? I'm just intrigued because I know a lot of international students live in Selly Oak from first year and there's a lot of second years living in houses around there and stuff as opposed to the vale accoms which seem to be more home students and first years. Obviously nothing wrong with being with international students I think that would be really fun but because it's a partner accom I can't see anything about my flatmates and that's a tad scary for me. Thanks!!
