University of Nottingham

The facilities are great at the university, with a wide variety of fantastic study spaces and on campus cafes, it makes it a great place to study. The sports facilities are great too, David Ross Sports Village with the 25m swimming pool and 12m climbing wall being some of the highlights of the centre. The careers support at the university is fabulous, there are always a variety opportunities made available to all students to help build their CV and help build skills which employers value.

The campus is in a good location and relatively close to the city which has a good range of entertainment but there is also lots of student accommodation surrounding the campus making it easily accessible. The students and staff are relatively friendly and helpful.

The facilities allow for a great variety of activities to accompany your education. The recent extension of opening hours to allow for the libraries to be open for 24 hours is definitely a bonus. The sports facilities are also fantastic, although the gym can inevitably get busy at certain points of the day. The ability to get involved with a wide range of sports and the just-play sessions allow you to try them out without the added pressure of a match. The student's union could be developed slightly. Although there are a number of shops and cafés within the student's union building, the bar could be considered to be extortionate in comparison to other student's union bars. However, there are a number of student bars on campus that are much cheaper and many within a short walk of the university campus.

I love the community at the University of Nottingham peer and teachers alike are always willing to help. I thought law was going to be all about competition while there is that aspect of it as well, there is also a lot helping one another to succeed. I specifically love the societies as they help both academically and socially. Additionally the University itself is always willing to help us with our career goals as well as our physical and mental wellbeing.

It’s very welcoming, has a lot of different facilities and opportunities for support! One of my favourite things is the university laptop repair and loan service which allows you to loan a laptop for a month for free and fixes your laptop (with charges depending on what needs to be fixed) this definitely helped me a lot this semester!

Beautiful campus with lots of greenery. Accommodation is annoying though as all on campus accom is catered and unaffordable to most
