Birmingham Accommodation

Student Accommodation in Birmingham

One essential thing you must ensure you have arranged prior to your studies at MetFilm School Birmingham is your accommodation. Your living arrangement can be an important factor in your success as a student.

We do not have halls of residence at MetFilm School Birmingham, which means you must find housing privately, but we have various resources available to help with every step of the process.

Birmingham hosts various possibilities for accommodation such as flats, shared houses, and private halls. However, as Birmingham is a university city there is a heavy demand for student accommodation. We advise you to look as early as possible to find a place that suits your needs.

We can’t wait for you to start this next exciting chapter. See you in Birmingham!

Tips for Viewing Birmingham Properties

  • We recommend viewing a property at least twice. You’ll be more likely to notice problems the second time around
  • Take someone with you or let someone else know exactly where you are when you visit a property, just to err on the side of caution
  • It’s also a good idea to visit the area at night. If you do this, please ensure you stick to the point above and take someone with you
  • Make sure you and all your other housemates view the property. Don’t take someone else’s word that the property is right for you
  • Compare a range of different landlords and properties
  • Take your time and don’t let landlords pressure you – there is a surplus of good properties in the area and you will find somewhere you like
  • When you go to view, take notes and photos and use our checklist to make sure you don’t miss anything.
  • Get informed – knowing your rights will help you view properties more critically and put you in a stronger negotiating position

Where to live

There is an abundance of student accommodation within a fairly short distance of the building, and plenty of house and flat shares run by private landlords in other popular student areas.

Please take into consideration the cost of travelling and the time it takes to get to the Institute from where you choose to live.

The following areas in particular are a good place to look for shared student accommodation:

  • Birmingham City Centre
  • Selly Oak
  • Moseley and Kingsheath
  • Edgbaston

Birmingham is well connected through public transport services; frequent buses that run all through the night, rail and cycle lanes make it easy to get around.

Please note there are no parking facilities available at MetFilm School Birmingham.
