Where to look in Birmingham
Use these established student areas as starting points, then compare each property's rent and route to your university.
Where students live in Birmingham
Areas students actually take rooms in, with the buildings closest to each one. Matched by location, so a building appears under the area it stands in rather than the area its marketing claims.
Selly Oak and Bournbrook
The student area for the University of Birmingham, one stop down the cross-city line from University station. Bournbrook's terraces are where most second years end up, about ten minutes on foot from campus.
- 800 Bristol Roadfrom £285/week
- Brook Studiosprice on enquiry
- Edge Apartmentsprice on enquiry
Edgbaston
The campus itself and the streets north of it, taking in the hospital and the cricket ground. Greener and quieter than Selly Oak, with bigger houses and rents to match.
- Athena Studiosfrom £255.20/week
- Hausfrom £190/week
- B16 Studiosfrom £174/week
City centre and Eastside
Aston University and Birmingham City University's Eastside campus, plus most of the city's purpose-built blocks. New Street to University station takes under ten minutes, so a central room still works for Birmingham.
- The Emporiumfrom £178/week
- Jennens Courtfrom £153/week
- James Wattprice on enquiry
Digbeth
South east of the centre in old factories, and now the base for BBC Birmingham. Birmingham City University's Millennium Point buildings are a short walk and the rents sit below the centre.
- true student Birminghamfrom £220/week
- 88 Bromsgrove Housefrom £220/week
- Gough Street Student Accommodationfrom £280/week
Jewellery Quarter
Its own tram and rail stop north west of town, in Georgian workshops and converted factories. Quieter at night than Digbeth, 15 minutes into the centre.
- Canalsidefrom £145/week
Moseley and Kings Heath
South along the Alcester Road, further out and cheaper, on a high street students share with everybody else. Check how late the buses run before you decide.
- Calthorpe Courtfrom £125/week
Useful to know nearby
Places students in Birmingham actually use. We have no arrangement with any of them.
- Library of Birmingham
On Centenary Square, free, and one of the largest public libraries in Europe. Nine floors, and the quiet ones are near the top.
- Bull Ring Indoor Market
Fish, meat and produce under one roof beside the Bull Ring. Clearly cheaper than the supermarkets and a short walk from the Eastside blocks.
- Custard Factory
Digbeth's converted factory complex: studios, cheap food, a weekend market, and most of the city's gig venues within a few streets.
- The cross-city line
University station stands on the campus and reaches New Street in under ten minutes, then runs on through Selly Oak. It is why a central room still works for a Birmingham student.

What to know before choosing a room in Birmingham
A city-by-city note about the decisions that change your daily routine. Prices and availability remain live in the listings above.
Birmingham pulls students in two directions and they rarely meet. The University of Birmingham is at Edgbaston, with Selly Oak as its student quarter and its own stop on the Cross City line. Aston and Birmingham City are in the centre among the newer towers, and their students have no reason to go near Selly Oak at all.

Getting around Birmingham
The Cross City railway line is the detail worth knowing: University station sits on the edge of the Birmingham campus, so a room near Selly Oak, Bournville or Kings Norton station is a short train ride rather than a bus. The Bristol Road also carries very frequent buses between Selly Oak and the centre. Birmingham has trams on the West Midlands Metro, but they run north west out of the centre and are less relevant to most students. The centre itself is compact and walkable between the city campuses.

Frequently asked questions
- 36 buildings in Birmingham publish a starting price, from £99 to £311 a week, and half of them start under £175. The range is wide for a single city: the dearest building starts at more than double the cheapest, so the headline figure tells you little until you have picked an area. Each figure is the cheapest room in that building, so compare the room lists rather than the headline.
- The buildings spread across 6 areas, led by Selly Oak and Bournbrook, Edgbaston, City centre and Eastside, and Digbeth. Each is filed by its coordinates rather than by the area its marketing claims, so the table above puts every building where it actually stands.
- Nearly all of them: 39 of 47. The remaining 8 publish nothing either way, which is not the same as charging extra, and each property page says which of the two it is.
