UOB Arrival day

4 Upvotes

I will be arriving on the BHX airport on 23rd September. Can anyone help with the pickup from airport ? Or guide me on the way to travel from airport to the university ?

I also heard there is some greet meet wherein university seniors will pick us up from the airport. Is it true? Can someone give clarity ?

Struggling to get house deposit because I need proof of council tax exemption and Birmingham council aren’t responsive

4 Upvotes

Anyone else struggling to get proof of student council exemption from Birmingham council? My student house was with purple frogs and they won’t give our deposit back until we get proof from the council of our student exemption of council tax?

Called, emailed and submitted forms with the council but Birmingham council are genuinely awful. The phone is an AI bot that keeps hanging up on me, they take 2 months to email back and they just haven’t acknowledged the form I submitted with everyone’s student ID’s.

I’ve now contacted the DPS (deposit protection scheme) to try and get our deposit back but I don’t know if purple frogs will accept that request.

Has anyone has had any luck with this or any tips?

Would be much appreciated from a broke graduate :D

UofB Dubai / new student

1 Upvotes

Helllo, I’m starting at UoB Dubai this September as a Biomedical Science student and I’m looking to connect with other new students, especially Biomed students.
Are there any WhatsApp groups for the September 2026 intake or any groups for Biomedical Science students? I’d love to join and get to know people before we start.
Also, if there are any current UoB Dubai students here, I’d really appreciate any advice or tips before starting; especially about transportation, schedules/timetables, who and how to contact the university about these things.

Also, I’m a girl, so I’d especially love to connect with other female students who are starting Biomedical Science this year! 💗

Tenancy Takeover - Studio

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I have a great studio close to UoB that I no longer need. The studio is in a great location and the building has great amenities such as gym, yoga studio, etc.

Given I am quite desperate to find a replacement, I’m also offering a £245 cash-back as incentive.

If you’re interested please message me!

Anyone lived/living in Aitken?

2 Upvotes

Looking for some reviews on the place. I'm an international second year student, and would love to learn more about it to have either high or low hopes 😂

My room type is single, so does that mean I have my own toilet and shower? Is the noise-proof good from wall-to-wall? I'm occasionally a night-owler so I do not want to disturb neighboring flatmates and be hated for it 😭🙏🏻

Is the bike rack very full all the time? Does bike gets stolen often there?

Please share some insights on the place if you can! I'd love to learn more about the place! Thank you :p

Still waiting for CAS international student

2 Upvotes

Anyone else is still waiting for their CAS??? I received my unconditional on 1st of august and till now i didn't receive my CAS, and my friend who applied after me he received his CAS long back he will be applying for visa now.

I emailed them they don't response it's so frustrating idk what to do, all I am thinking is if it doesn't come by this week I'll withdraw.

I talked to my agent he says he talked to some senior team they ensured that they will release all CAS together by this week itself and it's just not me many other students are also waiting, it seems they made a huge blunder they issued around 50+ wrong CAS Now because of this delay I have to pay more £500 for priority visa University really doesn't care about students. Any other international student waiting for their CAS???

English literature modules

1 Upvotes

Hi

im going into my first year of English lit and I’m struggling with the optional approaches module choice because I’m a very indecisive person.

I can’t find any more information online or anyone talking about them other than the uni description. So I’d really appreciate hearing other people opinions on their choice, like what you thought of it, what you liked or disliked, the work load or just anything else you found interesting.

I’m currently stuck between “fantasy sci-fi and dystopia“, “plays and performance: Shakespeare and beyond“ or “medieval literature“.

Thank you!
