Our modern, safe and sociable accommodation provides a high quality and affordable place to live.
Living on campus you'll only be two minutes walk from all the academic, social, sport and support services Aston has to offer. Birmingham city centre is less than 10 minutes walk from campus. It’s also really easy to make friends, as there are over 2,000 other students living within close proximity.
We have over 2,300 bedrooms on campus, the majority of which (around 1,950 rooms) are en suite. All flats are self-catering and share a well-equipped kitchen and communal area. Internet access is available in all bedrooms (for an additional, affordable charge). We have recently completed Phase 1 of our new residences project, which has provided 1,307 brand new, en suite bedrooms.

Places for Clearing & Insurance students
Aston University works hard to offer extensive support to Clearing and Insurance students in finding a place in University-managed accommodation on campus or private sector options.
We cannot guarantee a place in University-owned accommodation to Clearing & Insurance students, however in most years it has been possible to allocate some on-campus rooms to these students once they have confirmed that they want to study at Aston University via UCAS online Track
Accommodation is allocated, subject to availability, on a first-come first-served basis.
If places are available, we strongly recommend you live on campus in your first year, as you can be assured of good value, excellent facilities and support services.
What you need to do
If you want to be considered for a place on campus as a Clearing student you must:
- confirm you want to accept the place offered at Aston and that you have received your UCAS clearing number. You also need a 9 digit student number from Aston University which you can obtain from your offer letter/email or the admissions office for the course you have accepted a place on. This number should start with "12"
- complete our online accommodation application form as soon as possible. The deadline for applications is 28th August
- If places in university accommodation are still available, they will be allocated, subject to availability, on a first-come, first-served basis.

Help finding off-campus accommodation
If you don't want to live on campus, or are unable to secure a room on campus, Aston University's Students' Guild (our Students' Union) can offer experienced and professional support in finding off-campus accommodation in Birmingham.
Before accepting an accommodation place in the private sector, we recommend applying to live on campus first as we may have places available, which would be allocated after our original firm choice students have been placed.
The Students' Guild's Advice & Representation Centre run a website, www.astonstudentpad.co.uk, which advertises quality private accommodation in Birmingham, much of which is close to campus in city centre apartments.
We recommended you talk to the Advice and Representation Centre for general advice before making any commitments to private landlords or private apartment developments. Their friendly team is happy to welcome visitors in person during their opening hours for advice and support, or you can call them on 0121 204 4848 or email at arc@aston.ac.uk.
