Being a student at university can mean weeks that are long
and filled with a lot of hard work. By living on your own and being largely
independent, you may also find that sometimes you are without a
plan of what to do when there is nothing on the academic schedule. If you are a
student in Birmingham, you are at the front door of a whole range of things to
keep you active throughout those periods when you have some free time to fill.
A rewarding student experience though is not quite possible
without good student accommodation. And for students in Birmingham, the accommodation that is both high-standard and affordable can be found with Selly
Oak-based registered lettings agents Unihousing, who own all of their
properties. Brilliantly situated in order to allow for easy access to the
University of Birmingham Edgbaston campus in addition to the kind of
interesting places that will be highlighted in this blog, the student studios and houses that Unihousing provide are most definitely worth a look.
Keeping The Costs Down
Many places in the city are appropriately adjusted towards
to the local student population by featuring prices attractive to
university-goers. Even if you lack the inclination or the budget that allows for a
trip out for the day or evening to become a possibility, some of the nearby
take-aways could make a delicious accompaniment to a night in with friends,
possibly including some imaginative games or a themed night of films, for
example. Many bars or clubs also offer discounts on certain nights of the week
for students, so make sure you make the most of the various discounts you can
find.
Unfamiliar Choices
Apart from those restaurants that are probably not so out of
the ordinary but are still amazing for a bite to eat, you can get a more unique
taste experience in Brum at the Digbeth Dining Club. Held every Thursday and
Friday 4-11pm, Saturday 1-11pm and Sunday 12-8pm, and only a few minutes away
from the Birmingham Bullring in the City Centre, the Digbeth Dining Club
attracts a diverse collection of disparate food vendors. Pretty expansive,
vibrant and an experience that offers more than just food, being at the Digbeth
Dining Club means you could quite easily find yourself spending a while there.
For an activity that is a definite step away from the
ordinary, Escape Rooms are a great little challenge for you and a group of your
friends. In Brum, you can have a go at Escape Reality: a six-room centre
situated on Constitution Hill that promises both varying levels of difficulty
and intrigue, Escape Reality offers a consistent level of excitement
throughout. Something different, for sure.
Another way to put yourself to the test for a bit of fun is
by getting to Depot Climbing. It’s located on Sherlock Street just south of
Grand Central, and features some of the best bouldering walls in Birmingham.
Suitable for a range of abilities, from first-timers to advanced climbers.
Bouldering at Depot Climbing is highly physical, very enjoyable and is very
reasonably priced, too.
If you’re studying in Birmingham though, it is not only the
City Centre where you can discover enjoyable ways to spend your time. Within
various towns around Birmingham, busy pubs imbued with a distinctive look and
atmosphere is easily located, in much the same way that a great many cafes can
be found as well.

uni’ when you have a good chunk of time to yourself.
