WHEN TO START LOOKING FOR ACCOMMODATION

                   THERE'S NO NEED TO RUSH!                   

 

In Birmingham there is plenty of private student accommodation; this means there is a great range for you to choose from. It may seem like a good idea to begin looking as early as October for the next academic year, but this can have its pitfalls!

It's important that you take time to get to know potential flatmates before you decide you want to live with them, as once a tenancy agreement is signed, it's not easy to get out of if you change your mind later in the year.

Aston Student Homes (ASH) advertise properties from the 1st November each year for the next academic year and we run an Accommodation Fair around this time too.

You may find this housing journey useful.

If you are a semester only exchange student, seeking a short term let or Janaury starter the housing journey below does not apply to you. Please email us for more relevant information.
