New Studios

Quiet and self-contained, studios are perhaps the most straightforward and student orientated of accommodation options. Those students who have lived in studio accommodation before can testify to the independence and ease-of-living that a studio can grant you. Studios commonly come as a single bed setup, with a living area and kitchen in an open-plan space, and a joined bathroom. 

A studio property is also well-suited to the student lifestyle filled with late-nights and socialising. One of the many benefits of living in a studio is that you don't have to deal with messy or noisy housemates, additionally, you have your own small space to look after, and in most of our studio blocks, the communal areas are cleaned and maintained by us.

More About Studios In Selly Oak

Studios are quite an easy and simple way to live. If you’ve never lived away from home before, this is perfect, because living in a studio means managing your accommodation is not too difficult, so there’s less pressure on you. If you have lived away from home before and have previously been a tenant in a house living with a group of others, opting for a studio may be a welcome change of pace for you. It’s worth thinking about, as living in a house necessitates more work than a studio to keep it in a pleasant condition. Living in a house can sometimes require making compromises, whereas in a studio, you are in control and you make the decisions.

Of course, being a tenant in a studio does mean that you will be living on your own, but this may be something that is suited to you. One advantage that living on your own provides, is general peace and quiet as well as the opportunity to feel like you have your own space and independence. Another positive aspect of living in a studio is that they are tailor-made for what would commonly be thought of as student life? Given that the layout and features of studios are very basic, they are ideal for a lifestyle that revolves around going out and socialising; one where the occupant is not too concerned with the idea of being cosy and settled in a comfy little home, but would rather be out having fun when they are not attending lectures or studying at University.

Houses

Shared houses are a great economical option for those who enjoy having a group of friends around them all the time. Each person will have their own private room but they will share the kitchen and living area. These shared spaces are usually larger than what you would find in a studio or apartment and therefore much better for getting a group of friends together for a party, for games or a movie night.

It can sometimes be hard to find a private environment in a shared house. If you are someone that enjoys time alone, then you may prefer to look for another form of accommodation.

Studios

Studios are very popular with students across the country because they offer a relaxing, private and independent environment. Each studio is designed for a single person or couple and includes bedroom/ living/ dining area, kitchenette and shower room. The advantages of studios include: greater privacy, without nosy or distracting housemates; a quiet place for study, again with no distractions; not having to share kitchen or bathroom facilities. If you are quite private and you like having your own space, a studio is an ideal option for you.

On the other hand, studios are smaller than houses and do not have as much space for entertaining larger groups of people. If you prefer to have people around you and you don’t mind sharing facilities, a shared house may be a better option than a studio.

Unihousing offers multiple studios like Harrow road in the popular area of Selly Oak near the University of Birmingham. These are all fully equipped and completely furnished.

Apartments

Apartments are similar to studios in the fact that they are generally for a single person or couple. They offer the same privacy and independence and are ideal for those who prefer their own space to live and work.

Apartments differ in the fact that they have normally three rooms instead of two. Whereas a studio has bedroom, living space and kitchenette all in one room, an apartment will have a kitchen separate to the living space and may have a separate bedroom as well.

If you’re looking for a simple, open plan space that is easy to clean, a studio is probably the best option for you. If you prefer separate spaces for sleeping and cooking an apartment might be more appropriate.

It is possible that busier people prefer the simplicity of a studio whilst more laid back people prefer apartments.

Unihousing has numerous fully furnished studios and apartments on offer including Tiverton road.

What is right for you?

So, which one is best you may ask, well that’s not for us to say. Each student is different and will have their own particular needs and desires, so take a moment to work out what it is that you are looking for. But whether you like to share or prefer to be alone, whether you are relaxed and laid back or busy and driven, Unihousing has something for you.
