Did you make it to Spring Fling at The Vale? 🌸​

Student content creator Harry spent the day soaking up the sunshine, good vibes and free activities - all put on for students living in our accommodation and partner. 🏡​

A huge shoutout to the amazing Residence Life team for bringing everyone together. It was the perfect way to unwind, recharge, and have some fun before exam season kicked in. ​

If you're joining University of Birmingham next year, you've got so much to look forward to! ​

May brought some big changes to the Renters’ Rights Act, but do these updates affect uni‑owned halls or purpose‑built student accommodation? 🏡​
​
If your accommodation provider (us!) is signed up to an approved code like the ANUK/Unipol National Code or the UUK Code of Practice, here’s what it means for you.​

Fixed‑term student contracts stay the same 📄​
Rolling tenancies used in private renting don’t apply 🔄​

They follow their own possession processes instead of the Act’s rules 🔐​

This applies to our accommodation.​

Choosing where you’ll live is a huge part of your uni experience — and it’s about so much more than just having a place to sleep. 🛏️

Living in University‑owned or nominated accommodation puts you right in the middle of campus life. It makes it easier to settle in, meet people, and feel supported from the moment you arrive. Plus, with lectures, libraries and facilities all within walking distance, you can focus on your studies and enjoy being part of a welcoming community. 👋

To help you make the right choice, we’re sharing a Student Living myth‑busting video where you’ll hear directly from our team about what to expect on A‑Level Results Day, how to book a room, and answers to the questions students ask most.

The myth‑busting session will be posted in this group on 20 June - and you can send in your questions ahead of time so we cover what matters to you.

👕 Sell anything you don’t need on Vinted or Hazaar ​
