A Place to Live

Lakeside accomodation

Aston is currently able to guarantee international students accommodation in university residences for the duration of their studies, providing they apply by the deadline each year as returning students.

Our green and compact campus right in the heart of Birmingham, the UK's second largest city, gives our students the best of both worlds - all the facilities of a small town within a vibrant city.

This makes settling into campus life much easier and means that you can stay on campus throughout each academic year of your studies if you want to. Aston has a wide variety of accommodation, all located on campus, giving students easy access to all facilities, and eliminating travel costs.

All flats have telephones and are centrally heated. All accommodation is self-catering, allowing you the flexibility to eat the food you want to eat, at a time convenient to you. Other residence facilities include launderettes, and television lounges. Residence Officers will support you if you ever need any help. The University can also provide single sex accommodation if you would prefer, although this cannot be guaranteed.

For more information on the types of accommodation available, current prices and the application process please go to the Accommodation web pages.

Off-campus accommodation

If you are interested in finding off-campus accommodation please visit the Students’ Guild webpages and go to the House Hunting section which can assist you with finding off campus accommodation in the Birmingham area. 

For General information about house hunting the Advice & Representation Centre (The ARC)  on the first floor of the Guild will be delighted to help. Phone 0121 204 4848 or email arc@aston.ac.uk.
