Booking your room at University of Birmingham is easier than ever before. Rather than us allocating your accommodation, you can now choose the exact room to suit you, ensuring you feel at home from day one.
Enjoy the best of The Vale without even stepping outside. Just downstairs from your flat is The Shack, a laid‑back lounge space where you can unwind with board games and tuck into food and drinks from across the globe. With simple order screens and plenty of comfy seating, it’s an ideal spot to relax, catch up with friends, and enjoy something tasty.
You’ll also find a Costcutter supermarket for everyday essentials, and Shackleton’s Student Mentors are based here too, making it effortless to get support whenever you need it.
Nestled in spacious green parkland, you’ll enjoy having the privacy of your own bathroom facilities while benefitting from a shared kitchen and dining space. This is where you can relax, socialise, and cook with others, when you’re not tucking into something delicious at one of our 25+ cafés and restaurants with your Student Living Plus* credit.
