An amazing university with great facilities and a well deserve reputation. Would recommend to anyone who was considering going to the university. The city is also great and there is so much to do here.

My first year at the university has been absolutely incredible. They really care about the welfare of the students and there is opportunity round every corner. The course I am studying (mathematics) is well balanced and they keep in touch with each student to find out if you need support or how you could improve your skills.

Library is wonderful, the upper two floors are reserved for silent individual study, where you can get some serious work done, and the bottom three floors are for group study. There really hasn't been anything I need which hasn't been on campus. With two banks, a variety of shops and numerous places to eat, you really can't need much more

I haven't had to use student support but I have been made well aware that there are multiple forms, from financial to academic to support with your health.

The student union is very active, with plenty of societies and events to take part in.

Coming from a country town, I didn't really appreciate the size of Nottingham on my open days. Having moved there, there is at least two different clubs holding student nights, on each night from Monday to Saturday so you rarely get bored going out. A lot of clubs do themed nights as well involving a lot of fancy dress! During the day there are so many shops you can visit that you find everything you need easily from the central plaza.

There is literally something for everyone here, from Lego to rugby union. I joined way too many societies at freshers week because there were so many I was interested in!

Most lecturers are enthusiastic and want to help each student do their best, even if it is a bit daunting having to ask for help.

I receive a weekly careers newsletter and the careers department are very active.

My accommodation is beautiful (might just be my taste) and they have updated parts of furniture such as the kettle and toaster. However I pointed out the fact that my room didn't have a lamp (as every room was supposed to come with one) and it did not get sorted out. Also there is a lack of a communal area within each block of the halls to have a gathering (such as a table and chairs).
