Studios vs Flats

If you’re a student looking for accommodation for your next academic year, you may be surprised to find lots of different types of accommodation to choose from. In this blog we’ll be looking at Studios and Flats, their advantages and disadvantages and why you’d choose to live independently.

Comparisons

The main advantages that living in a studio provides are independence and convenience. In a
studio, you’ll either be living on your own or with a partner, so you don’t have to share your living areas with house mates that are messy or inconsiderate. However, it does also mean that you are responsible for all the cleaning and washing-up. Luckily, studios are designed for either one or two people so the areas you need to clean are of an ideal size.

Studios are also very convenient, everything you need fits into one room in an area that’s ideal for a student that’s living independently. You won’t have to miss any of your favourite show when cooking yourself a meal or getting a drink. Unihousing’s studio lets in Selly Oak also come fully fitted and furnished, meaning you can move right in with no hassle.

The benefits of a flat are much the same as a studio, however the difference is that flats come as separate rooms instead of one all-purpose room. This provides more privacy for when you have visitors, and also suits some people better than living in one single room. While it may lack some of the convenience that a studio offers, it still provides a great sense of independence.


Why choose to live independently

Living independently is a choice that may not be right for everyone, but there are a lot of advantages to living either on your own or with a partner. We’ve already covered dealing with housemates and cleaning, but having your own space to relax, study and organise can be a great experience whilst you’re studying at University.

Having to organise yourself is a great life skill, and one that can truly be honed in an independent property. Both studying at University and having the experience of living independently will provide a great set of skills for your future. Of course, your time as a student should be fun, so you’ll have your own space for pre-drinks with your friends or having movie nights.

Conclusion

Studios and Flats are both great for those who’re looking for independence while they are studying at University. However, after that it comes down to personal preference on how they want the layout of the property to be. If they’re looking for more privacy than convenience then a flat would be more suitable, but for those who want the most convenient way to live during their studies, a studio is ideal.
