It's a beautiful campus, with a great city and lots of places to eat on campus. The halls are great and I'm glad I'm here! It was my firm choice and I've chosen well. It's definitely worth my money.

The library is great, the cafes are great and the campus is beautiful. Need I say more?

Haven't had many dealings with them...not sure if that's good or bad!

Lovely building and great place to go when it's raining. Although the SU shop is ridiculously over priced and it's actually cheaper to go into the bookshop upstairs.

There are some rough areas, but stick to the Lace Market area and you're fine!

There's literally a society for everything. It's fun watching the quidditch teams play as well!

Lecturers are mostly inspiring and useful. Although Humanities courses are not good value for money in comparison to many of the others due to the lack of contact hours.

This is more due to my course... and is probably the case regardless where I go!

Accommodation is ridiculously cheap compared to other universities, mainly because you don't pay over the Christmas/Easter and summer. I personally love this because that means it cuts the costs and I know what date I'm leaving to come home. The catering isn't too bad anyway either! I won't say no to croissants and bagels ;)

The University of Nottingham is a place that feels like home to most students that go there. The campus is gorgeous and has so many places to meet friends, go to events and just explore the green environment around halls, lecture theatres and other campus buildings. During my time at Nottingham I have met so many people through all off the opportunities that I’ve gained from being here such as joining societies, going to events at the university, working for Unitemps and even just going to lectures! The easy links to Nottingham city center via tram, bus or electric scooter makes this Uni the perfect blend of a pleasant campus with busy city life. Improvements I could suggest for the University of Nottingham would be to reduce strikes. In Spring this year there are 18 days of planned strikes by the lecturers which will affect thousands of students at this university. Staff are clearly feeling undervalued as their pay and pension continues to drop. This takes many things away from the student teacher relationship at nottingham, as we are robbed of the time and experience we would have otherwise on these missed days. Lecturers are the backbone of university, as they are the people who inspire students and help them to fulfil their learning goals. My university experience would be vastly different without the staff at the University who have supported me and provided so many opportunities which have made my time here so great.

The mathematical sciences department has a great building with load of fun accessible places to work, as well as events going on and lecturers around to help and support your work. The course has many opportunities with content to choose from such as pure, applied, statistics, coding and finance. What I’ve loved so much about studying this course is the diverse and interesting topics available to explore, such as modules on biomedical mathematics, and black holes. I’ve met loads of great friends through my course by going to lectures and workshops, through my group tutor meetings in first year, attending events in the maths building and going to socials run by the maths society MathSoc. Improvements I can think of mainly relate to increasing the range of modules available to students, particularly in fourth year. For example in third year the Fluid Dynamics and Electromagnetism modules were really interesting and fun to learn, and it would be great if there were any further modules in fourth year that extended from them.

The location of Derby Hall was great, as it was a 10 minute walk from lectures, 5 minute walk from the David Ross Sports Centre, and 3 minute walk to the nearest bus into town. I met my main friends in first year through people that I lived with, which helped me to have a fun social life and solidify foundations of friends to live with for the next few years. I always felt safe in the halls, as they are quite closed in and everywhere requires key or student card access, and there is 24 hour security.
