This is mine and my partners 3rd year living here now as we moved in the day it opened. We have made a lot of memories here with a whole host of students and staff members and have really enjoyed my stay

FAQ

Your questions, answered

what is the difference between a studio and an apartment at true Birmingham

A Studio is all yours - your own en-suite, a comfy bed, a desk, and even your own kitchen. It’s a totally private space, great if you like having everything to yourself.

An Apartment is more social. You’ll still have your own en-suite and room, but you’ll share the kitchen and lounge with a few others—ideal if you want the best of both worlds.
