All the Answers You Need About Student Accommodation
What tenancy length do I need?
Some students choose to stay during the academic year, whilst others – particularly international students – require a tenancy that covers the entire year. You can also find student accommodation that is available for one or two terms, classified as a “short stay” on our search filters.
Should I stay in catered student accommodation?
This is totally up to you! Catered accommodation means you will be served meals at set times in a dining hall, and you’ll likely have access to fewer kitchen facilities than if you were to stay in self-catered accommodation.
What is a guarantor and do I need one?
A guarantor is a person who signs a contract to agree to pay your rent if you are unable to. Most university accommodation requires a guarantor, and this applies to both domestic and international students.
Will I need to pay a deposit on student accommodation?
Most likely, yes, you’ll need to pay a deposit. This will be refunded at the end of your stay as long as there is no damage to the room or property.
What bills will my rent include?
If you are staying in university-run accommodation or private halls, your rent should include any utilities such as electricity, gas, water, and internet. Students are not required to pay council tax, however you may need to fill in an exemption form so make sure you check with your local council.
What is purpose-built student accommodation?
Purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) are residential buildings designed for students. They are often located close to campus, boast modern facilities, include all bills, and often have staff on site to assist residents.
Will my student accommodation be furnished?
Student accommodation is typically fully furnished. Your room should include at least a bed, clothes storage, desk and chair. You’ll likely need to bring things such as bedding and kitchen utensils, but we have a full list here of everything you’ll need.

great Accommodation. Good environment
Better than what nearby accommodation provide.
Great location and friendly staff, especially the security they always make sure I’m okay and get in safe. However the price is ridiculous and very unaffordable for already struggling student. A tiny studio for £230 + and no oven.
Great accommodation, worth the money!
Great place near city centre to live.!
Overall good experience and good management.
Very good and affordable accommodation
The rooms are very well set up and the social spaces are excellent, it’s a great place for people to meet and hangout and I would definitely recommend this to my friends as well.

Very happy with my accom and the staff are very helpful and kind xxx
The people, the diversity, the staff are very friendly. The rooms are very good. Best thing about this accommodation is it’s common room.
Globeworks has been a way away from home. The staff are super friendly and helpful and the amenities are exactly as advertised. I particularly love the study spaces. I would definitely recommend to any one else looking for accommodation for their studies.
Really great accommodation, with nice rooms and amazing staff.
Very good matches pricing, efficient maintenance good location
It’s been a pleasure staying at globe works, the staff are very friendly and attentive. Any problems I’ve had they are very quick to come and help or fix it. It’s generally been a great environment, especially for my final year.
Very good staff who are very helpful!
I’ve not had luck in terms of accomadations in the past.but living here has been such a pleasure, the staff and atmosphere of make it such a comfortable place to live. I honestly love living here so much and it’s 100% every penny
The staff are kind and accommodating although security can prove a little inconvenient at times it’s in the name of safety so it’s understandable. Overall one of the nicer Birmingham accommodations to choose from even if it is a little on the expensive side
The room is a bit small but overall it does the job.
Really enjoyable and comfortable stay
Love staying here and love the staff - mbalu
This is a good place to stay, especially for me as I wa able to make socialise and make new friends within the accommodation, getting used to a new city living by myself being more independent.
Overall good accommodation but quite pricey compared to others Luke-harry Agyako
Really enjoyed staying here for the last 3 years. Staff are very responsive and very nice. Really good environment to live in. :)
I honestly really enjoyed my stay at Globeworks. I was in a studio for my final year, never experienced any noisy or rude neighbours, and the reception are very sweet and accommodating especially when Tamara was working there too. Very sweet girl and very nice team.
I feel like you get the freedom you never got back home
I've been here since September last year and love the kitchen, as I cook a lot so it's a blessing. The windows are locked for safety reasons which is understandable but wish, I could open them.
Good place to stay. Gym is really good.
Lived here for 2 years and i love it so much better than most if the other accoms in the area and all the staff are very friendly and helpful
It is good in general but not too much
The Globe Works, Birmingham, has been a great living experience. My room, which is a studio, is a good space and modern, making it a comfortable environment to study and relax. The location is ideal for me, with easy access to campus since I mostly walk and local amenities like shops, cafes, and public transport. I particularly appreciated the quiet atmosphere during study hours, which allowed me to focus and complete assignments efficiently. The staff were also incredibly friendly and helpful, always quick to respond to any queries or maintenance requests. The added security features gave me peace of mind, knowing I was in a safe environment.
I highly reccomend globe works as the staff including security are really nice. The amenities are great and the maintenance team are reliable unlike some other accoms
I lived here for two years and I really enjoy it here, it’s social but quiet, just what I need
This accommodation is nice and quiet however social life is poor as no one socialises and is to themselves. I feel like the rent is quite expensive considering the size of the rooms, I live in a standard studio
I have been staying at globe works since January 2025. Being new to the country i was nervous about the living situations but im glad i chose globe works because it offers everything an international student needs to survive in a new environment. The location is pretty close to the city centre making it easy to access my university. Very good experience overall!
The best place with great management - pavithra Sivakumar (c317)
Amazing accommodation! The staff are lovely and the building is clean and tidy. There are social spaces, study spaces and a gym. The rooms are spacious and the beds are large as well as the windows. I am very glad I chose to stay here! Jordan
So Far it’s been an Amazing Experience, Great Staff Specially Hannah, Chloe and Nick always helpful. Great vibe around always and also people are helpful
I love it here it’s so spacious and the people are really nice
The WiFi from ASK Me has been very poor, with multiple breakdowns until now, as I have stayed for more than five months now and have bookings for the entire year. We appreciate the events organized by the property, which are a very good opportunity for all the students to connect.
I would highly recommend to the upcoming students for the facilities they are providing and they also give priority to the student's saftey compare to other accomadation i have seen.
Enjoyed my time at globeworks - it has been convenient to be so close to Aston University. Having staff/ security downstairs at all times is also great! Shubnum Sarodia
Lovely staff, great incentives! bad wifi though,
Globe works is a really nice place to stay in Birmingham, the staff are helpful and friendly and the facilities are top tier - Jessica-mai Nichols
Generally a accommodation to live at with friendly staff and great amenities
i love the modern rooms and the staff, my favourite accommodations so far !!
Amazing accommodation I would advise to anyone - Stephanie Agyei
I have met a lot of new people and it has made my experience nice
Nice and friendly staff, very welcoming environment
Great accommodation, lovely staff. Great facilities also.
## Review of Student Crowd Accommodation I recently moved into Globe Works, and I must say, I am thoroughly enjoying my stay here! The accommodation is fantastic, but what truly stands out is the staff. They are incredibly friendly and always ready to help, making a big difference in how welcoming the place feels. One of the aspects I appreciate the most is how promptly the maintenance requests are handled. Whenever I've had a small issue, it was addressed immediately, which really enhances my living experience. Overall, I highly recommend Globe Works to anyone looking for a comfortable and supportive student accommodation. It's been a great choice for me!
Overall good, very friendly and always maintenance related issues are solved within that day .
I’ve never had any issues during my stay at globeworks.
great, staying for an extra year!
Wonderful experience so far with the accommodation. Value for money, steadfast maintenance and within walking distance to the happening places of Birmingham.
My experience there was fantastic. The location is great, on one end we have Birmingham city Centre, Aston University and BCU on the other we have Tesco, an African & Caribbean store and the Aldi supermarket. It is really great and affordable, easy access to transport. Everything you need
