As you embark on this new phase of your academic life, you may be feeling rather excited about what is coming your way. It is a period of change that will present unfamiliar challenges as well as fresh opportunities to learn and experience new things, and while your head may be filled with a great number of things to think about and plan for, getting your student accommodation in place is a crucial aspect of the stages leading up to you starting the coming academic year.
In Birmingham, accommodation for students can be found through the Selly Oak-based registered lettings agents Unihousing. Their studios are ideal for Birmingham students as not only do they give high living standards, but they usually sit within an easy walking distance from the University of Birmingham. So securing accommodation with Unihousing by opting for one of their studios is well-worth giving a thought to.
On the subject of student living, it is also worth giving a thought to some of the things that you should be aware of, as various issues could potentially arise during your time as a tenant, and being prepared for these things is a good way to help you overcome them. And of course, without looking ahead to what you could encounter, you may find it more difficult to get the absolute best out of your overall experience as a student tenant.
Money
Perhaps not a surprising topic to bring up, money could be an issue for you as a student. As we all know student life and a comfortable financial situation are not always that closely linked. With this in mind then it may be wise to start planning how to deal with your finances for the coming year. You may even want to begin setting out a budget that covers all of your living expenses, such as food, rent, travel and all the other costs for all of the essential and not-so essential outgoings that are part of getting through your weeks.
Neighbours
When it comes to your neighbours, it may be a good idea to make, where possible, a positive impression on them and probably, more importantly, to consider the levels of noise coming from within your digs. This is important as no one wants to be kept up at night or be caused unnecessary problems simply because someone failed to be careful about the volume emanating from their studio.
Home Hygiene
Although it may be the first time that you have lived away from home, there is no real alternative to being thorough and consistent in regards to maintaining the overall hygiene of your student home. Even if you have been living away from home for some time, it might be worth seeing if you can make any improvements. Keeping your place clean creates a clear path to a home that enables sanitary, healthy living, and making sure rubbish is dealt with correctly will help your keep pests away. Being aware of cleanliness in your student home and acting accordingly will help make your living experience much more pleasant.
Getting Out
It can be easy to become isolated when you are living on your own, so it is advisable to socialise when you can and make time to see places other than the inside of your student accommodation. In order to give yourself options and to get the most out of the occasions when you leave your studio, it is recommended that you learn about what the local area offers as well as any other areas that are nearby. Selly Oak, for example, boasts a number of pubs and restaurants that are able to give you a brilliant night out, and via a short journey by car or public transport, you can get to other local towns like Kings Heath or Moseley, or even the constantly stimulating Birmingham City Centre.
Health
When you are in charge of what you do and what you eat on regular basis, it is not difficult to be a little complacent and neglect such vital things as maintaining your health. However, it isn’t too difficult to make sure that you stay healthy. All that is required in basic terms are a balanced diet and plenty of exercises. Take steps to find more information on these matters and act accordingly, and enjoy a more rewarding university experience.
Maintenance
You may find that there are problems with your studio from time to time. Through no fault of your own, you may discover that certain aspects of your accommodation will require special attention to alleviate these problems. In these instances, contacting your landlord is the route to take. Tackling any issues promptly leads to quicker results for you and an all-around better property as a consequence. Unihousing has its own team of qualified tradesmen, which means that the effective maintenance of their properties is always achievable.
Going From Here
There is no doubt that a lot of thought and planning will need to go into starting at university, while some consideration will still be required even if you are simply continuing at University. Whatever your situation, this blog will hopefully help make you aware of various elements of the whole student living experience that you should give your attention to. Bear these things in mind, find the right accommodation for you with Selly Oak-based Unihousing, and prepare for what should be a great year ahead. Check out our website and contact our team today!
