I have really loved living in the Vale Village, particularly in Elgar Court. I have my own bathroom attached to my room, and the kitchen space is very large, and fits all six of us living in the flat quite nicely. There is lots of cupboard, fridge and freezer space. The Vale Village in general is very beautiful, and I love the walk to campus in the morning - I can choose to either walk past the pond, or along the canal, so there's no shortage of beautiful scenery! read more

One time my flatmate got locked INTO her room and the staff took 2 hours to get there. Outside bins emptied semi regularly but not enough for how many students uses it- no social space in elgar, but some in other places. A longer walk than advertised (told 15 mins but was more like 25). read more

Elgar Court is a convenient option for students who prioritize location and campus life. While there are a few areas that could be improved like hosting more regular and diverse social events for residents could strengthen the sense of community and improve the social experience, especially for those who are new to the city or university. However, It provides a solid living experience for those studying at the University of Birmingham. read more

Thank you for your feedback about your experiences living in Elgar Court.  It’s really important that our residents feel part of a community whilst living on site and so your suggestions about improving the social activities will be fed back to the Reslife Event Activators.  If you are able to meet up with me at any time I would be happy to hear about any activities you may have thought about that you would like to see become available.

I was there when it was on meal plan and it is the best choice. Nice to have the option to cook myself though. Just the location is a little far from the uni but idea For clubbing on Broad street read more
