Athena Studios is located extremely close to the University of Birmingham’s Edgbaston Campus, making it one of the most convenient accommodation choices for university students. The campus can be reached in around 2–3 minutes on foot, while the university sports centre is located directly opposite the building, making it especially convenient for students who regularly use gym and fitness facilities. The business school and students’ union are also within a short walking distance. Selly Oak Shopping Park is located nearby, alongside supermarkets, takeaways, cafés, pubs and restaurants, providing students with everything needed for daily life. Thanks to the excellent bus connections outside the accommodation, Birmingham city centre can also be reached in under 20 minutes. The surrounding area is highly practical for student living. Tesco, ALDI, Sainsbury’s and Selly Oak Shopping Park are all easily accessible, while University Station is around a 13-minute walk away, offering convenient rail connections across Birmingham and beyond. Opened in 2015, Athena Studios consists of four floors with approximately 259 beds. All rooms are fully self-contained studio apartments, allowing students to enjoy complete privacy with their own kitchen and bathroom facilities. This makes the accommodation particularly suitable for students who prefer independent living without sharing communal kitchens or bathrooms. The interiors are modern, functional and designed to support comfortable long-term student living. Although the accommodation focuses on independent studio living, residents can still enjoy a sociable community atmosphere through the shared facilities. The communal lounge includes sofas, televisions and table tennis, creating a relaxed space to meet neighbours and socialise. There is also an outdoor garden area with decking and picnic tables, ideal for relaxing during good weather. Additional facilities include WiFi, 24/7 security, CCTV coverage, electronic entry systems, on-site maintenance and management support, accessible facilities, lifts, bike storage, laundry facilities, printing services, vending machines and regular free social events, creating a safe and comfortable student living environment.
