Medicine - MBBS

University of Nottingham

Best - being able to take part in many societies. Worst - could have more things to do in terms of fun outside of drinking and clubbing.

Incredibly student friendly city with amazing amenities and experiences! Living on campus is truly a unique experience here in the UK and helps ease you into uni life for years to come. That being said it could improve if help to students was more readily available and communication was clearer.

Nottingham is a lovely place to study. The campus is gorgeous, students and staff are friendly and the student support services available are great. However, I’d say that access to the university counselling service must be improved upon. It’s quite unfair that students can’t avail the service without a referral and I think this should definitely change. Also, in my course (Medicine), we’re barely given access to past papers unlike other courses which I’d love for to change.

The best aspect of Nottingham Uni is the amount of support you receive, there is always someone who can reach out to. If you wish to be more anonymous while seeking help, there’s also a service called nottingham helpline. Its a beautiful uni with lots of parks nearby giving you a countryside feel. Nottingham city center is also a short commute away, and it offers a wide variety of nightlife, restaurants and bars. The worst Aspect of Nottingham Uni is that sometimes communications via email is not always prompt. They usually have issues with personal tutors not responding and cancellations to timetables are made last minute. But it definitely is being worked on!

Some of my favourite things about the University of Nottingham are the beautiful green spaces on campus, comfortable study areas, as well as the amazing sports facilities. I have constant access to support - whether it be technology related, help with accommodation, or pastoral care a quick email or phone call away which has really aided my independence with moving to University. I particularly find the catered halls are a great way to settle into Uni life without worrying about food prep - and it is a great way to meet lots of people. There is not much I can think of to improve except we have a couple of the issues with occasionally patchy WIFI service and there seem to be a lot of bike thefts so I am not confident in taking my bike here with me.
