UCB Living At Home Guide

YOU WON’T BE CUT OFF SO MUCH TO DO FOR FREE ON CAMPUS AND IN THE CITY Super cheap socials – The Guild of Students put on a range of social events that cost just £1. These include movie nights, beauty sessions - where you can learn how to have luxury on a budget - pool nights and sessions to learn useful skills from other students. Free events in the city include the Birmingham Frankfurt Christmas Market, Pride, incredible exhibitions, food festivals and markets at MAC Birmingham in Cannon Hill Park, and the chance to present the news or weather – or have a photo taken with a Dalek – in the Public Space at BBC Birmingham at the Mailbox. There are free exhibitions at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, and many walking tours to get to know your home city better, from the birth of heavy metal and Peaky Blinders to the city’s rise as the ‘workshop of the world’. There are many reasons you want to live at home while at uni. For example, being rent-free and not having to worry about paying bills, grocery shopping and living off beans on toast, even if you do have to muck in with the chores! Across the road from the uni, the gorgeous, golden Library of Birmingham is where many of our students go to study, and for free, you can enjoy photography exhibitions, performances, craft workshops, poetry readings, coffee mornings and fun for toddlers. It also grows fruit and veg on the Discovery Terrace, with books on growing your own too. Don’t worry, you won’t be cut off. Birmingham’s great transport network – including buses, trams and trains complete with student discounts, and bicycle hire - means you can get to uni and everywhere else in the city easily.
