In terms of choosing student accommodation in Birmingham, it’s usually a matter of a few practical considerations. How close it is to university, how much you’ll spend per week, and whether the property offers the facilities you need. Lakeside Birmingham is near Aston University and Birmingham City University and has good transit links to the rest of the city.
The facility offers a mixture of en-suite rooms and one-bedroom flats, giving students the option of shared accommodation or more space to themselves. The rent also includes electricity, gas, heating, water, Wi-Fi, broadband and possessions insurance, making it easier to keep track of the weekly expenses.
Students tend to have different expectations from their accommodation. Some prefer living with other students and sharing a kitchen and living area, while others would rather have a flat of their own. Lakeside offers both arrangements.
En-suite rooms come with a private bathroom and access to shared kitchen and living areas. The one-bedroom flats give students a more independent setup, with their own bedroom, bathroom and kitchen/living space.
There are shared facilities within the property too. Study rooms give residents somewhere to work when they want a break from their bedroom, while the common room provides space to sit with friends or meet other residents. On-site laundry, maintenance and security services also take care of some of the more routine parts of student living.
Address: Lakeside, Coleshill St, Birmingham B4 7UP, United Kingdom
The property is close to Aston University and Birmingham City University's City Centre Campus. Several transport links are also nearby, making it possible to reach other Birmingham universities and parts of the city without relying on a car.
Lakeside is particularly well placed for students who wish to reside close to their university. Aston University is little over 0.13 miles from the property while Birmingham City University’s City Center Campus is just over 0.15 miles away. The University of Birmingham Edgbaston Campus is a little further at 2.79 miles but is on a public transport route.
It is easy to do day-to-day shopping. The apartment is a short walk from Tesco Express, and there is also a Sainsbury’s Local nearby for groceries and domestic needs. You can have coffee either at the 200 Degrees Coffee Shop or the café in the Aston Student Village.
Getting about Birmingham is easy from Lakeside. Birmingham Moor Street Railway Station is less than half a mile away. Birmingham New Street and Birmingham Snow Hill stations are also within walking distance. There are also a number of bus stops nearby, including Upper Corporation Street Bus Station and Newton Street Bus Stop further afield, providing good links around the city.
There are also locations to escape from university work. Chancellor’s Lake at Aston University is near the flat and another outdoor place, Eastside City Park, is only down the road. Those who want to exercise can use the Aston University Sport Center or the fitness facilities on-site.
Location is a major advantage, but the property also has a useful selection of facilities for students who want to keep study, socialising and everyday tasks in one place.

Choice of en-suite rooms and one-bedroom flats.
Very close to Aston University and Birmingham City University.

Lakeside Birmingham makes the most sense for students who want to stay close to their university and keep everyday travel short. Aston University is only 0.13 miles away, while Birmingham City University's City Centre Campus is around 0.15 miles from the property. Students at University College Birmingham, BIMM Birmingham and the University of Birmingham can also reach their campuses using nearby walking routes or public transport.
The choice of en-suite rooms and one-bedroom flats gives students two different approaches to living. En-suite accommodation keeps your bedroom and bathroom private while sharing kitchen and living areas, whereas a one-bedroom flat gives you more independence.
The included bills are another practical point. Electricity, gas, heating, water, Wi-Fi, broadband and contents insurance are covered in the rent, so there are fewer household expenses to arrange separately. Study rooms, a common room, laundry facilities, bike storage and on-site maintenance add further support for day-to-day living.
If your priority is being close to campus rather than spending a large part of your day commuting, Lakeside Student Accommodation is worth considering.

I have a great experience living here so far. The building is always kept very clean, and the maintenance team is quick response whenever there is small issue. The cleanliness and the hygiene of the common areas, kitchen and hallways are always kept to a high standard by the dedicated staff.The laundry facilities are easy to use and reliable. I feel safe and supported in this accomodation. The communication from the management team is always clear and i feel very safe and supported in this community. It is great environment for both studying and relaxing.

Do not book with unite as the heating hasn’t been properly working since i’ve moved in and i’ve reported it two times! It just barely turns on now but the room doesn’t get warm like it’s not on at all!! i have to have two blankets on and two pairs of socks to keep myself slightly warm. It honestly seems like they don’t care at all i’ve not been off any compensation at all.

I stayed at Lakeside for first year. It’s really close to the university I attended, which was super convenient, and my room was big and spacious. That said, not all rooms are the same size, so it can be a bit of a hit or miss. The common room is also a nice touch a good space to relax or study. However, there are some major issues. There were rats constantly running around outside near the building, which was quite unsettling. There was even a time I couldn’t bring myself to enter my building because I was so terrified. Also, the wet room bathroom design wasn’t ideal water would go everywhere, making it feel messy and impractical. On top of that, the laundry facilities (Circuit Laundry, located in the building) were frustrating. The machines often didn’t wash clothes properly and would leave them soaking wet, which was really inconvenient. Overall, Lakeside has a great location and some decent facilities, but the outdoor cleanliness,bathroom setup and poor laundry facilities definitely need improvement.

I’ve had a very disappointing experience with Unite Students. My room has had no working heating since September, and despite multiple maintenance requests and repeated visits to reception, nothing was done. Portable heaters are not allowed, so I was left without any heating during winter. I was even told a heater would be brought to me, but nobody came. I ended up studying for my exams in a freezing room, shivering just to get through revision. Communication was poor, staff were unhelpful, and the lack of urgency was exhausting. This experience has seriously affected my comfort and wellbeing. I would not recommend unless maintenance and student welfare are taken more seriously.

Unite Students Lakeside Accommodation is very beautiful, peaceful and tranquil place to live in. The place is well illuminated with modern lights and has High Definition Cameras every corner of the building. Most advantage, walking distance to City Centre, Aston University, Birmingham City University, University Library, Gyms, 24hr Convenience Stores, Fast Food places, and a lot more to offer for Entertainment. Staff and Night Security, well presentable, polite and friendly manner. Overall, it's great value for what you pay for, very competitive.
