Student accommodation required in Birmingham UK

[Balait_da_Sher]

WJKK WJKF,

Sangat jee, a family friend has come to UK to study in Birmingham. Unfortunately I live quite far so the Singh needs a room to rent.

Does anyone know any room share or rent share in Birmingham or surrounding areas. He will be studying at the Birmingham City University.

He is an Amritdhari Singh and will be studying masters.

Please let me know if there is anything suitable.

Try the local newsagents. There's plenty of adverts in the windows. For people with rooms available. Or you could do air BnB room. That's good for people who struggle finding a place to rent. Due to being a student and having no work proof.

Contact the closest Gurudwara?

I was once stranded in Birmingham as all trains stopped due to stormy weather/snow. So I had to stay 1 night  to catch the next train the following day to London. 

Guess what I tried the Soho gurdwara in Bham if they had a place to stay for the night as could not a find a hotel at such short notice. I was just fobbed off and told all rooms are gone and also given a rude look. Like I shouldn't have asked. 

Those people at that Gurdwara are very hostile to everyone for some reason.

Eventually ended up finding a a good Airbnb which came in handy.

Best thing to do is to contact the University Acommodation Services.

Thanks all. He has found accomodation. He will share a house with few other students from India to minimize costs.

It seems like a lot of Apne are trying to make a quick buck out of Indian students. He was quoted almost £300/month by one Singh and that was sharing a room with another student.

He also said that he got a lot of stares at the gurdwara. There has been a large influx of students in UK due to change in English requirements. I don't think the existing Punjabis are warming up to the idea.

Maybe your 'posh' accent cheesed them off and they didn't want you affecting other people with your airs and graces?

Student visa market fits into the rental market and makes lots of money for the immigration lawyers. 

It is an industry in itself.

 

Apne being apneh will exploit. 

The student visa English requirements have been lowered, Australia used to be more favourable because of their lower band requirements but they have gotten stricter and now Canada is back in fashion.

This has been going on for nearly 2 decades, the scam is up and people are wising up to it.

That is why existing Punjabis can be very resentful.

After the frankly disgraceful behaviour exhibited toward Sikh students (who weren't whoring or being idiots) who travel overseas to places like Canada, the pardhaan at my local Gurdwara has laid down the law to the interfering, rude, old busy bodies who treat the langar hall as a community centre throughout the week, i.e. don't treat the students like dirt, and if they need langar, serve it to them minus any commentary or ill feeling. The fact that they need telling is mind boggling.
