Great all around, the only downfall has been the aesthetic of the campus.

I've absolutely loved first year in UoN, especially considering I've moved out from home from London. The people, the university and the vibes here is amazing and I am blessed to have had the chance to have this experience!

Biology / Biotechnology, Graduate

(5)·By Emilia B·Biology· Jul 2021
I didn't have much on so still had the ability to go out and meet new people. The lectures started out pretty easy covering stuff to get everyone on the same page. I was in self catered accommodation off campus but was still a 20 minute walk to the science area of campus. Really enjoyed my accommodation and loved not having to share a bathroom. Sports facilities were amazing, brand new David Ross Sports hall. The Georg Green library was also new and amazing. GG library was an great open space to work and had plenty of space and if u wanted silent study there were multiple areas you could go to. Course was good because there was so much choice in modules throughout the years. Lecturers were helpful and you could always email and ask for help if you didn't understand. City life was incredible so many bars/ clubs and restaurants. Always a good night out. Buses and trams meant you could get into town easily.

Psychology / Criminology, Year 2

It was good. The introductory lectures were informative and the night life was great! The accommodation is comfortable and clean. I was in the accommodation with the smallest rooms but i still loved it- also was fully catered. The university have a lot of libraries that are big and easy to work in. They have a massive gym in which you can do any sport you like really: volleyball, swimming, rock climbing etc. The course was very engaging, the lectures were structured in a logical way and the contact hours were not overwhelming. The lectures were also recorded which really helped with revision and making sure you understood everything after the lecture. Nottingham is a lively city. There is always so much to do e.g mini golf, restaurants, christmas markets. The night life is also great and everything in the city is close today which is a bonus.

Absolutely amazing! Super hectic, but since everything is optional it was an amazing array of talks, socials, events and lectures. Really clean / I stayed in catered halls and the set up was such that we made friends so easily! I'm beat friends with all the people I was in halls with 5+ years ago :) Everything was top notch. The architecture and facilities are truly marvellous and few universities have the same level of infrastructure and beauty! Firstly, the teachers. All so awesome! Secondly, the interactive courses and highly updated and innovative course matter :) Nottingham is one of the most fun cities to live. It's surrounded in culture and affordable entertainment. Perfect for any English or International students (like myself)

Amazing uni!

(5)·By Ruth T·Languages· Jun 2023
I transferred here following a bad experience at a different well known university. I was nervous to move, but Nottingham have been so accommodating. All my needs are met by the staff here and I feel fully supported. The quality of teaching is really good and the campus is beautiful. I wish I'd come here from the start as it feels like home and there's no other university I'd recommend. I don't stay in the accommodation, but from what I've seen it looks really good. It's all on campus and fairly close to the facilities. There is also a hopper bus which goes across the differenct campuses and a local bus which goes through campus past all the accommodations. I find my course really good and it has a wide variety of interesting modules. You can also do up to 40 credits from another school as a subsidiary module which gives you a bit more freedom, particularly if you struggle to pick one subject. The facilities are top quality, with multiple libraries, study spaces, coffee shops and other shops including costa, boots, spar and subway all on campus. The social life here is great. We have a big SU and the city centre is filled with clubs, bars and other social activities like crazy golf and axe throwing. It's a great uni in a great city.

My University Experience

(5)·By Rachel A·Politics· Jun 2023
I am a second year student here at the University of Nottingham, and so far, my time here at university has been a rather pleasant experience. During my application to universities during Sixth Form, I felt rather drawn to what the University of Nottingham had to offer, therefore making it my preferred choice. When it came to selecting my course, there were a variety of courses to offer in different departments, and even within those departments, therefore many options to choose from when it came to selecting a course. In the end, I ended up opting for the Politics and International Relations course, as it aligned closely with Politics and aspects of English Literature we had covered in Sixth Form. In addition to this, reading through the overview of the course on the university page, aside from the rather interesting module choices that were available, the course also had a lot to offer, including many useful placement opportunities and study abroad opportunities for individuals like myself who aim to expand their way of thinking and knowledge, and incorporate new ideas into the way they think, and learn and experience many more new things. Having already completed the first year of the degree, I have been very satisfied with the content we are taught, and the manner in which we are taught. It is done in a manner which makes it both engaging but not too overwhelming for students. With each lecture and seminar, I do feel like I have learnt something rather new and interesting, and in cases where I am too unsure about certain pieces of the content, the professors and seminar tutors have been very helpful and informative during office hours, which are very straightforward to book. The accommodation that I stayed in for my first year was Broadgate Park, through the University, and it was a rather pleasant experience. The team were very welcoming, friendly and informative, making the moving process much easier. Aside from this, it was located in perfect distance from the campus, grocery shops, the town centre, and any other amenities. In terms of the social aspect here, the University provided numerous opportunities for first years to meet people, with a range of societies and clubs which suit multiple interests, sports teams to get involved, and each all had rather engaging social media pages, and therefore I found it easy to get involved with some of the social activities they had to offer, including netball, politics society, and debate society. Aside from what the University has to offer, the city of Nottingham is also packed with many places which allow students to relax, have fun and socialise. To conclude, so far my experience at the University of Nottingham has been rather wonderful, and certainly exceeded my expectations which I had when coming to university, and the city itself didn’t seem to disappoint.
