Choosing Shared or Solo Living with Unihousing

Choosing Shared or Solo Living with Unihousing


Whether you are looking for independent living in your own space, or you prefer community living with others, here at Unihousing we cater to both. With various ensuite and self-contained studios, students who want more privacy and space can benefit from our solo accommodation. For those seeking community, our shared houses and apartments could be a brilliant fit. Still unsure? Keep reading to find out more! 


Why Choose an Ensuite Student Studio?

For students looking for a more independent lifestyle, a studio could be the best fit. Our student studios showcase an open-plan living area and come fully furnished with all the essentials that students need during their stay. This includes a double bed with storage, desk area and chair, clothes storage, food prep area with fridge-freezer, ensuite bathroom and even a flatscreen TV. 



Not to mention that all utility bills and 100Mb broadband are also included in the price of rent! In a separate room, you will find a shared kitchen which is fully stocked with high-quality appliances and extra storage for dishes and food. This will also give students the option to socialise when they choose with other students in the complex.  

Our student studios also offer a great deal of privacy and are brilliant for students who want to have their own space to get away from the busy life at university. All of our properties are also within walking distance of the University of Birmingham, making travel to and from university quick and easy. 


Why Choose Shared Accommodation?

One of the brilliant parts of sharing accommodation with friends/other students is the community living that comes along with it. Having a group of people around who are going through the same thing as you, can be incredibly helpful and fun. Our student houses offer both great community areas, whilst also providing each tenant with their own private space.

These properties will include a good-sized communal kitchen which is fully fitted with appliances and storage, 1 or 2 shower rooms, a dining/living area with plenty of seating and sometimes even a patio space, making hosting and having friends over very enjoyable and easy too. Each tenant will also have their own private double bedroom, with a desk area, double bed and ample storage throughout. 



Other benefits of shared accommodation include sharing bills and splitting food costs and other household essentials too. By cooking and shopping together, you and your housemates will be able to save money and also enjoy spending time together. 

For students who have never lived away from home, being in shared accommodation could be a great way to have community and feel less lonely in a new city. You can also develop relationships with people who are experiencing the same thing as you.

Whether you are looking for solo or shared living, we are here to help you find accommodation that best suits your needs and budget. We take pride in all of our properties, as we have spent the time and effort to create spaces for students to live comfortably, without worry. With modern fittings and high-quality appliances and furnishings, our student properties are designed with students’ needs in mind.
