Why Unihousing UoB Accommodation is the Right Choice for Birmingham Students

 A Better Deal For UoB Accommodation

One major issue in student living is money, as finances can become a little stretched. Covering costs, from food and clothes to travel and learning materials and be difficult. And with the schedule of lectures and studying, there may not be much time or opportunity left over for getting a job. While this can sound pretty daunting, it’s best to get a good start in terms of your spending by opting for Unihousing's UoB accommodation that is cost-effective in a way that suits the budget you have. This is especially true as paying out for rent on your student digs each week is probably the biggest expenditure facing you as a student from week to week.



It’s because of this that Unihousing should be near the top of your list of possible places to go to for your student accommodation. A letting agency Selly Oak students go to year after year, Unihousing offers a fine selection of student housing at a very reasonable price. We can offer studios for students, student apartments and student houses that are not only affordable but get you quite a lot for your money, including an all-around high-standard of housing quality for the price you pay. Also, with Unihousing, if you choose one of our student studios you can often find that the price of your internet and bills will be included in the price of the rent. Plus, we sometimes run offers on low or no deposits.

 

Selly Oak, Birmingham

The location of Unihousing student accommodation is also where our properties have the edge over other student housing that might be out there. We have accommodation with Selly Oak locations that are great for students for two reasons: convenience and nightlife. Firstly, the convenience is provided by way of there being several shops and supermarkets super close to where you live. This is sure to make buying all the essentials for getting through the week a whole lot easier, which is what you want when living independently for what may be the first time and having to stay on track with lectures and assignments. There are also several takeaways in Selly Oak, giving you the chance for something tasty to look forward to at the end of the day. Birmingham City Centre is only a train ride away, and with the area being well-served by nearby public transport links, it is easy to get around too.



Regarding the nightlife in Selly Oak, if you like to go to a pub or club when the sun goes down, this is the location for you. Meet up with friends, have a chat, have a laugh, and make your time in Selly Oak a fun, memorable one. For something a little quieter, you could try out one of the restaurants here such as Bohemia or Nando’s, or head down to neighbouring Stirchley to one of the many places there to get a bite to eat. And if you’re looking for more options, simply make your way into the City Centre and find somewhere there that takes your fancy.

A problem with property could mean any kind of wear and tear that may be noticed during your period of tenancy within a particular accommodation. Now, of course, it should go without saying that in any kind of home at any time a problem of this nature can be a real irritation. And it could make your life more difficult too.

What’s Inside?

If you’re thinking about renting Selly Oak accommodation near the University of Birmingham, perhaps the most important factor in your mind is what they are like on the inside. After all, if a place does not look and feel good inside and does not have the necessary features for your lifestyle it is not going to be the right fit for you. Due to these factors being so important, Unihousing has made sure that our University housing is elegantly decorated and boasts the type of furnishings that you would expect from a fully functional modern student accommodation. Dependent on the listing/description for each specific property, you can expect Smart TVs, washer dryers, fridge freezers and study areas in our homes, and in some properties, double beds, ensuite bathrooms and spacious gardens.

Why Birmingham Student Houses and Studios Are Cost-Effective Must-Haves


When costs pile up, so does the pressure on you. All of us have experienced this feeling before to some degree, but when you are living away from home as an independent student, having the sense that your finances are getting seriously stretched can be very stressful. As a means of side-stepping unnecessary difficulties regarding your finance, it is wise to look at your student accommodation to calculate how much money you will be handing over and what your regular costs will be like.

 

With accommodation in Birmingham, you can be sure to get a good deal with a letting agency UoB students can rely on such as Unihousing. Choosing a reliable provider for your student accommodation means you can proceed through your student living experience managing costs comfortably and making the most of the time in your student home.

 

Student Houses

Birmingham student houses with Unihousing are handsomely prepared places to get settled for your time at university. Of course, you can share this student accommodation with a group of buddies, making for time away from the university that is never dull. Unihousing accommodation is also very affordable for students at university. Sharing a house means you can spread the cost of most expenses.



Now that you have added that into your financial planning it’s time to turn your attention to other things that needed to be budgeted for. To start with, think about essential items that you will need every day, such as plates, bowls and cutlery; a trip to Ikea should be enough for this. Supermarkets also sell homeware items. A plate at Tesco for example can be bought for as little as £1!

 

Speaking of supermarkets, food shopping is one of the biggest areas of budgeting that you are likely to come across as a student. What might be the best course of action you take here is to do a little research, perhaps online, and compare prices of different supermarkets. Have a look at what food can be bought in larger quantities to save money, maybe avoid branded items and maybe share meal costs with your housemates if suitable.

 

Student Studios

Living in a student studio is a different experience than a shared house. As a student renting a studio, there’s a greater sense of independence to be had. For some, this may sound like more of an isolated way to live, but others may prefer the quiet and overall simplicity of being in this kind of accommodation. In many ways though, having a clear and sensible approach to handling costs are still essential.



Choosing a studio from Unihousing’s Selly Oak accommodation will mean that, for starters, you will receive your 100Mb broadband included in the price of rent as well as your utility bills. This is obviously in contrast to renting a student house and will shape your budgeting considerably. In addition, we sometimes have offers on our studios for low or no deposit.

 

When looking at cost-effectiveness at budgeting, travel expenses need to be considered. Not only do you need to factor in the cost of getting to and from uni, but you also need to plan for the cost of travel elsewhere. What makes our student studios easier on your bank balance is the fact that they are a short distance from shops, supermarkets, and the university itself, which reduces travelling for you. As well as all that, there are nearby public transport links to get you to the City Centre and other places of interest that are both affordable and efficient.

 

Another thing to remember is that while budgeting and sorting through costs may seem difficult, you can also make use of the various discounts that are out there to help you make a saving or two. Student Beans is a good place to start in your search for student discounts. There’s Unidays as well, and Save The Student have some good info about how to save money, too. It’s not just student discounts that are worth being aware of though, as some other deals and savings will crop up from time to time in various shops and other places to help make your financial situation just a little bit brighter.
