Your accommodation villages

Accommodation at Birmingham is so much more than just a room. It will become your home away from home and you'll join a vibrant and diverse community of students. 

With three different villages to choose between, we understand that it can be difficult to pick the right choice for you. That's why some of our students have written blogs about their experiences living in student accommodation so you can make the best decision for you.

The Vale Village

Set in a beautiful lakeside parkland, just a 20 minute walk from campus, The Vale is our largest accommodation village. Home to 3,500 students, it has a variety of accommodation, including en-suite and shared, self-catered and catered options, so there's something for everyone.
