Student accommodation available

Short term accomodation (September-December 2025)
Hi everyone! I'm Jess, an international student from Australia doing a one-semester exchange at UoB as part of my second-year business degree. Since on-campus accommodation isn’t guaranteed, I’m looking for advice or any available housing options nearby. Would really appreciate any tips or leads!

Hey Jess! I am also an international student from New South Wales, Australia, coming to the University of Birmingham for a global exchange, for my second year as well. Since on-campus accommodation is not guaranteed, I am also finding it difficult to find accommodation for one semester near the University. Let me know if you find any good accommodation near the Uni. Thanks, Ashlin.
