Sort:Latest reviewsThe campus is lovely, the lake is amazing to walk around in summer. However, the strikes have disrupted the uni experience massively
I think the best part would be the campus; but the look and feel of it as well as the facilities. I also think the student life generally is very balanced- you have to put the work in but there’s also a lot of time to have fun. The worst part would probably be the student support service, I do not feel like the university have the done the best job when myself or my friends have looked for support or advice with tricky situations.
The university has a great location as it is positioned in between the city and the countryside, allowing you to have freedom to travel into the city or the countryside. However, it can feel quite isolating at times as the university feels like a bubble compared to other universities such as Nottingham Trent which are more integrated into the city. The support system at the university is also very good.

It feels like home here, I was never homesick since I came, everything here is perfect.
I love all of the wildlife and greenery on the campus. The libraries are also amazing, especially the Hallward library. Lots of planned events and student support provided by the Students' Union
Best parts include the help I got from counselling and exam support and the worst part is that I have to travel to derby for my course
There’s lots of individual support available at the university that’s accommodating of what makes you feel most comfortable in order to succeed at university. I think the focus on active learning and assessments could be improved.
1 st year was difficult because of lockdown but they still managed to maintain some level of in person experience. I have really enjoyed ny course and found it very interesting
Amazing campus and great teaching
Great university to study in . Campus is good and the facilities are great the university always has support for student and teaching has good level of knowledge. Nottingham has good night life for student and would recommend the university and city to study there
The campus is beautiful and makes it exciting to go into Uni. There could be more libraries as they are all often full and it is hard to find somewhere to work in peak times.
There are always friendly faces around to help and the facilities are very good I love the sports centre and am there most days for my sport, the medical centre is also brilliant and all the lectures have been engaging I would say that being in first year in the halls sometimes can feel a bit lonely I’m not sure how the uni would improve this but sometimes especially on weekends it can be quite isolating if friends go home
Enormous campus with good library facility. There are well instructed lectures over a year and nice transport system from city into the university is good for student as well
The campus is easily accessible as a commuter and a great place to study. It’s easy to get around within the campus and between other campuses. Staff are really nice and supportive.
Everyone here is lovely and the campus is great.
Pastoral support is amazing. Tutors have always been very friendly and engaging. The campus is very lovely with loads of facilities
Student Services is very slow to respond and often loose documents
The campus is great but the student support is not amazing

I really enjoy studying here as you can tell that the professors are passionate about what they teach, making it a much nicer place to learn. The campus is also really nice and has everything you need. I sometimes find that it can be difficult to get hold of people when needed but on the most part the staff are easy to connect with and talk to when I have a problem.
Professors are passionate and kind to us and make sure that we have a good understanding of the subject when giving lectures. While my subject is quite content heavy, the way it has been a taught makes it a lot less overwhelming. To improve I would like more contact time with professors, not necessarily in the form of lectures but just more opportunities to speak with them as it is sometimes hard to contact them.
The hall is really nice and really well placed. We have plenty of good facilities and I really like my room as it is spacious and gives me everything I need. The food is often good and varied. However, I have rarely seen security in the hall and it is difficult to know who to contact when there is a problem such as noise complaints or general issues but on the whole it is a good hall.
