🏆 We’ve been shortlisted for not one, but TWO Property Week Student Accommodation Awards!

We’re absolutely delighted to share that our Student Living team has been recognised in two award categories, celebrating initiatives that are making a difference to the student experience at University of Birmingham.

🏡 Home at UoB – recognising our work to support Black students living in our accommodation

📲Student Living x VivaCity – celebrating our collaboration with VivaCity to create a dedicated mini programme designed to support and engage our Chinese students

We’re incredibly proud of the teams and partners behind both initiatives, and it’s fantastic to see their hard work recognised alongside some brilliant projects from across the sector.

Now for the big question… will we be taking home a trophy? 👀🏆

The winners are announced in December - so, for now, wish us luck! 🤞

🎓 Just started university? Here’s some advice you’ll want to know now…

First year is full of new experiences, new people and plenty to figure out. But who better to share some advice than someone who’s just finished their second year?

Student content creator, Ruvimbo, shares 3 things she’s learned along the way:

✨ Think ahead – interested in work experience, a placement year or studying abroad? Start researching your options early.

📚 Stay on top of your work – university can get busy quickly, so finding a routine that works for you now will make life much easier later.

💛 Make the most of your time with friends – get involved, make memories and enjoy the experience. You’ll look back on these moments!

Arrivals Weekend starts... TODAY! 🥳🏠

Not sure what to expect? Student content creator, Vidhya, is here to give you the lowdown on what Arrivals Weekend is all about. 👀

And remember, if it all feels a little overwhelming at first, that’s completely normal. You’re meeting loads of new people, settling into a new home and probably trying to remember where you left your student ID card. 😭

Take it one day at a time, put yourself out there when you feel ready, and don’t put pressure on yourself to find your people straight away. You’ve got the whole of first year to make friends, find your community and make yourself at home. 🫶

You’ve got this! 💙
