I love the Brackenhurst campus, it is beautiful all times of year. It is a little far away from the city by bus but everything you need is in Southwell. The city campus does however have many more facilities. The staff are all wonderful. They’re so supportive and always there to listen when needed. The SU was a lot of fun during my undergrads but as I commute in now I tend to use it less.

The MRes is going well so far, I have one blended learning module which allows me to move around freely and complete tasks in my own time. My research project supervisor is also flexible and has said she will chat any time.

I studied at Nottingham Trent University for my undergrad and had the most amazing time, which is why I am back for my master's! There are several factors that cause this and I could go on and go about it but I will try to bullet-point them all: - The staff are the best, from lecturers who are always enthusiastic and enjoy teaching to staff like employability who provide a lot of support. - The location of my campus. As an environmental student, I am on the Brackenhurst campus for my studies and it is just the most beautiful place in the countryside with amazing views. Not to mention, all the opportunities for field work right outside the classrooms' door. - The NTU community just makes you feel at home! - The range of societies there are. There are tons of them from course-related (one of my favourites is the entomology society) to more hobby-based ones (like the gaming and e-sport society). - Course content has been great for both my undergrad and master's. - And many more reasons! When it comes to thinking of the worst aspects it is extremely hard, honestly the worst part of my undergrad was when it was over!

My course now provides a wide range of content that I feel will round me out for my future career. Additionally, my course is accredited by CIEEM which makes it very desirable as well as getting me free membership. We do have one online module due to the large number of students and I feel it works perfectly well. I am looking forward to the second half of my year for the more field-work-based modules!
