The campus is nice, takes a while to get around, but modern and has lots stuff going on. The sports facilities and opportunities are some the best in the UK. Good night life in the city.

The course is science heavy, particularly cell biology and genetics, so that may or may not be a good thing. The staff are very knowledgeable and mostly are good at explaining things. The labs are great and reinforce a lot of the concepts. Sometimes the course does not feel individualised, the main module has several hundred students, so none the staff will really know you as a person. I think it's expensive for what it is, but still a necessary step for some career paths.

City centre is fun and has lots of nice places for food, drinks and clubs, dependin what you prefer, but is expensive, most nice cocktail places will be £5-10 per drink. There's great options for a big range of sports around notts. There is not a big lgbt scene, compared to some other cities. rent in the city centre is unaffordable to students for the most part, but that's true everywhere. Decent bit of greenery around to chill at

Loads of support available, especially in settling in during welcome week. Student services range from laptop loans to property consultancy for student housing. Staff are all so passionate and willing to nurture. Facilities are relatively new for my course which is a huge bonus. Hundreds of societies to get involved with outside studies which are a great way to chill out and do something you enjoy. Halls on campus are well-maintained and any issues are resolved very happily and quickly. Possible improvement could be the variety of self-catered halls as most halls on campus are catered.

Very broad range of content and sets you up well for further study or work in the professional world. The lack of placement year is a real downside for me, however. The Professional Development Portfolio is a good supplement and there is support on offer to find experience but I think a year in industry would be far more valuable. Teaching quality is very high and several lecturers throughout each module means that there is variety, but all in similar delivery formats and sticking to learning objectives. Little talk of career prospects yet, but it’s still only early days for first year. I’ve had very little tutor contact time in my first year but haven’t had any issues so not a problem for me personally. Subject facilities are mostly quite new, and others are well-maintained.

Great central location on campus, very convenient for all courses. Safety is okay, but at the beginning of the year previous Cripps residents still had access to our block via their student cards. Room allocation is seemingly random in terms of block but I have no complaints. Wifi via Eduroam is sufficient for working, social media or streaming. Cost of halls has increased in the last few years and this is a definite downside for me. While there are more affordable halls on campus, I still think that the current rate for Cripps is rather pricey for 2 meals (plus £25 weekly on meal card) and minimal cleaning of rooms (once a month). However, room sizes are generous. Any maintenance issues are resolved quickly and with a friendly approach.
