Canalside is student accommodation on Lower Loveday Street, Birmingham B19 3SJ, 0.4 miles from the city centre. Student Castle operates the site, which offers ensuites, studios and 2-bed apartments. ACM Birmingham is the closest listed institution at 0.2 miles, while Aston University is a 13-minute walk. New Street, Moor Street and Snow Hill are the stations named for Aston's campus.

Rooms: Copper, Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum Ensuites share a kitchen with flatmates. Bronze rooms sit in 6-bed flats and Silver rooms in 4-bed flats. Platinum Ensuites measure around 24-27m². Most rooms have a 3/4 sized bed, study area, ensuite bathroom and ample storage. The Gold Studio adds a fully fitted kitchenette. The Platinum 2 Bed Apartment offers an ensuite room with a study area and shared kitchen access.

What's included: Rent pays for gas, electricity, water and contents insurance, with 100Mbps internet and WiFi throughout. Your room type sets the deposit, returned later less deductions and pending charges. Three instalments suit students with a UK guarantor, starting 3 weeks ahead of check-in. Everyone else pays in full 6 weeks before moving in. Guarantors must be over 21, live in the UK for 1 year or more, and own a home or work full-time. Housing Hand is an option. Card, bank transfer and online payments are accepted.

Getting around: Aston University takes 13 minutes on foot, 13 by transit, 4 by bike or 6 by car. A free shuttle bus is also listed, so ask for its route. BPP University is 0.3 miles away, and University of Law Birmingham and Aston University are each 0.4 miles. University College Birmingham is 0.5 miles.

In the building: Canalside has a communal lounge, gym, study room, laundry room, bike storage and table tennis. CCTV and security doors help protect the building, and maintenance is listed. Pets are not allowed. Staff hours and smoking rules are not confirmed.

Good to know: Cancel within 7 days to get your deposit back, though non-UK bank refunds lose £20. After that, rent stays payable unless a suitable replacement takes over. A £50 variation fee is then kept from your deposit. Check the shuttle timetable before relying on it.
