The best part of university life in Nottingham is a mix of both state-of-the-art facilities and commodities and a joyful and friendly student community. Everyone here is always willing to help and there are hundreds of societies to help accommodate all sorts of interests and hobbies, meaning it is very hard for you not to become integrated into the city and its vibrant student life. The one negative that I'd mention is the fact that I found my programme to be less attractive than I'd hoped. I wish I could have covered more interesting topics and more technical approaches to programming.

I'd argue that content should be more evenly distributed over lectures, meaning that I believe, at the moment, too much is packed into one lecture and I find that, when it comes to exercising on the teachings of lectures, it feels like some content will have either been very briefly mentioned or skipped over. I believe it would be good to re-distribute content over lectures, even if it means a greater number of hours per week. The delivery of certain topics during COVID was also unsatisfactory I believe and I didn't like the fact some lecturers opted for videos instead of actual live content throughout the year, even after the pandemic and restrictions eased. As for the positives, the school offers great facilities, psychological support, tutor assistance and many other incredible features and tools that I would have not had access to in other universities, I believe. The technology at our disposal, the labs, computers, laptops, etc... are particularly exciting and show a real commitment on the school's behalf to empower students and give them all they need to succeed during their time in Nottingham.

In terms of where they are, how close they are to the university's main departments and how they are run, I believe halls are fine and adequate. The wi-fi, I'd say, was a big surprise, as it's probably faster than anywhere else I've lived in the UK. The food leaves much to be desired, although I understand the constraints of having to cook for such massive amounts of students. The common rooms in halls lacked some maintenance and some objects needed repairs. The laundry room could be halfway across the hall, which would make it incredibly tiresome to do the laundry and there were multiple cases of mismanagement during COVID in regards to the way students were being treated and how meals were being distributed, etc... I would not say halls are a bad place to stay, they have the minimum you need, a bed, a desk, a wardrobe, your own toilet, etc... However, it's much more pleasant and liberating to live in your own place with friends or even in private accommodation, given that the price ranges are not that different even for high-end places. Still, there is probably no better place for settling in and making connections in your first university year than university halls, as everyone there will be looking to do the same and going through a similar experience.
