Lucy Atkins died after being hit by a car on West Boulevard, Quinton, on Monday.
She had just finished her first year at Cardiff University and was “looking forward to sharing a house with her friends for her second year”, her family added.
Ms Atkins was on foot and sustained “serious injuries” in the incident and died a short time later, West Midlands Police said.
The force added that the driver remained at the scene and is helping with its inquiries.
Officers have asked anyone who was travelling in the area between Barnes Hill and Quinton Road West at the time of the incident, and has dash cam footage, to get in touch.
