Liberty Close Birmingham

It is very close to town which means you are close to restaurants etc. It is accessible from University too.

Firstly I didn't receive any of my SIX options for accomodation. Im out celebrating results day and the email for accomodation pings up on my phone. Fair to say it ruined the day. Liberty living queen's hospital close? I didn't even know it existed...oh that's why it's a train ride away from the uni or an hour walk! After spending the rest of the day trying to get in touch with someone and ask them how this happened I was finally told "it was the closest match to your three option." If I put six options it meant I liked all six options more than that one. Not I didn't get my top three now let's decide what's shed prefer for her this unknown accommodation or the last three on her list. I really feel these halls compromised my time at university it made it hard to get to get to and from the University. Imagine going in for a lecture at 9 £3 train ticket coming home at 3 as your lectures have finished. Your friend saying let's meet at uni at 7 to try out this new dance society. Back to uni, another train ticket. Back home to get changed for a night out at the guild. Night out at the guild, Another train ticket or taxi. Transport was not subsided so I just ended up not going. However lift this accomodation up and put it right next to the uni = perfect. It was spacious and had an ensuite and onsite staff were so kind and helpful. Another positive within a 5 minute walk from pryzm and broad Street and a 10 minute walk to the city centre! In sum: Mixed emotions

Nice, safe accommodation but very far from the University. Rooms were nice but very small and quite pricey for a accommodation off campus. On the other hand very close to the centre of bham as well to broad st, bham’s nightlife

The actual halls itself facility wise was very good. It had a massive common room with plenty of TV's and a pool table, the kitchen was well sized and so too was the living room and sofas. The only issue was its location, it was a train ride or 40 minute walk from uni, not on the main undergraduate area which meant it was inconvinient for meeting and making friends.

The halls were ok, the actual accommodation was in full working order and relatively clean when I moved in. Although the bathroom was a bit dirty, in particular the shower. The accommodation was relatively spacious but in terms of décor it definitely felt like living in a school due to the blue carpet and cream walls so pictures were necessary. The main issue with the halls was the location as it was so far from University and required a train journey (which becomes expensive when twice a day) or a 50 minute walk which isn't really practically day to day.

Amazing location - right next to city centre just a bit far from the university, nice common room but barely used. Very easy to make friends as blocks are close
