If you haven't rented a house for studying in Birmingham yet, come quickly!

Renting in Birmingham is becoming too competitive, and social housing is indeed expensive, with 1B or 2B apartments easily costing around £300-£350. Moreover, they are not located close to the school and do not include bills. For the first year, I think it's better to stay in a student apartment. It's convenient because bills are included, and most importantly, it's close to the school, so there's no need to wake up too early. There are also study rooms available. The rent is around £270, and the quality is excellent. They even have a gym and provide breakfast.
