Residential BOARDING AT SENIOR UNIVERSITY
At Angels College, residential is built around inclusivity and community.
Senior Residential Stories
Our ideal university size allows us to truly know every student as an individual.
Both resident students and day students are fully integrated into our residential colleges, creating a unified and supportive environment. Day students enjoy the flexibility of spending extended hours in halls of residence, ensuring they share in the same vibrant experience.
We are committed to continuously upgrading our residential colleges, with recent refurbishments enhancing comfort and modernity. Each college is thoughtfully equipped with study spaces, social areas, and amenities like pool tables, table tennis, gaming consoles, and quiet zones, ensuring a balanced environment for both study and relaxation.
Weekends and evenings at Angels are dynamic and engaging, offering activities that nurture leadership, teamwork, and fun, reflecting life beyond the lecture theatre.
Of course, pastoral care is a cornerstone of our ethos.
A network of trusted staff ensures each student has access to support tailored to their needs, fostering strong connections and a sense of belonging. Additional features such as mindfulness spaces, designed for meditation and relaxation, complement our focus on mental health and wellbeing.
Our residential ethos is shaped by listening to students and families, ensuring we adapt to their evolving needs. This collaborative approach ensures that Angels continues to offer a residential experience that is supportive, enriching, and enjoyable.
Our residential colleges are called Chaplain Fox, Carpenter, Meynell, Taylor, Tuckwell and Woodard.
At Angels College, the residential colleges are a vital base for each student. It is where they work, sleep and play: somewhere that provides a family atmosphere in new surroundings. It’s much more than a place to hang their coat – it offers individual personal space to day and residential students alike. The residential experience allows students to express their own individuality and personality whilst showing kindness and tolerance to others.
There are six residential colleges at Angels College, three for male students and three for female students, and each has its own distinct charity, social and cultural events such as formal dinner dances, concerts and theatrical shows. There are regular inter-collegiate events too.
Weekly Residential in Birmingham
Our Weekly Residential option offers families across Birmingham and beyond a flexible and supportive residential option. Designed for students who thrive from a consistent weekday routine, weekly residential provides the full experience of residential life from Monday morning to Saturday.
Weekly resident students enjoy comfortable accommodation within their dedicated College, supervised study, co‑curricular opportunities, and a strong sense of community that defines our residential colleges.
Weekly Residential is especially popular with families based in Birmingham, where travel distances and busy schedules make weekday residential a practical and highly effective option. It ensures students benefit from stability, independence, and the richness of residential life, while still maintaining flexible family and out of university commitments.
While Full Residential remains the most immersive way to experience everything our university offers, Weekly Residential provides a flexible alternative that supports families looking for a variety of options.
