Here are a few of our favourite Birmingham student housing options:

• Studios 51: Self-contained Birmingham student accommodation in the city centre, close to Aston University with easy access to the city’s other universities. A choice of private studios, ideal for postgraduates looking for more independence.
• Penworks House: Another city-centre location with regular organised social events, great for students looking for a sense of community.
• Broderick House: This student housing is a short bus ride away from any of Birmingham’s universities, and just a 7-minutes’ walk from the popular hangout spots on Broad Street.
