Days and Nights for Birmingham Students

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.
