Sort:Latest reviewsbest: - location in the city, far enough away that you have a campus feel but you can just get on a bus and head to the city - lecturers, especially in derby medical school are super helpful and involved and supportive of students - course type, super interesting and a good stepping stone onto A100 worst: - lack of support in on campus accommodation, hardly see anyone around during the day, only the security at night, no one site staff - catered food on campus
+ great uni campus, look and feel + perfect student city too - study spaces can get really busy during exam periods
Best- good location for night life and really good sports facilities. A very wide range of societies. Worst- sometimes timetabling issues
I enjoy being in the city of Nottingham because it’s full of students. The facilities are attached to the hospital which is convenient as a nursing student, you feel part of the hospital and the university. It is however not great at supporting students with personal help, for example not having a set multiple students.

Best: trampoline society, libraries, sports facilities, representing the university at open days, placements, course content Worst: Being a commuting student and not being accommodated for, no friends on course
The university park is a lovely campus and the university has lots of societies on offer. Nottingham is a fun city but the graduate medical school is based in derby.
Best - faculty, campus facilities and infrastructure, societies and communities Worst - has taken a long time to recover from covid and in some cases has continued hybrid learning, they can take into account student feedback more effectively
Good study spaces, large uni to meets lots of people, plenty of societies
I absolutely adore the campus and sporting facilities as well. Jubilee campus is also really nice and both campus' have good facilities.
Best aspects: meeting new friends, the opportunity to work and earn money with the uni, joining societies and clubs as well as helping to run them, the campus itself Worst aspects: rushed into private housing for 2nd year and now stuck with students I do not get along with (aggressive and disrespectful)
The Campus is a great environment to be in and the buildings provide good facilities. I like to course breakdown and the opportunity to explore other subjects and topics within modules.
The University of Nottingham is considered a great place to study for several reasons. One of the main reasons is the quality of education provided, with the university consistently ranking highly in national and international university rankings. The university also has a diverse student body, with students from over 150 countries, which creates a vibrant and inclusive campus culture. Additionally, the university has a strong focus on research. The university also provides a range of services and support to students, including career services, counseling, and financial support. The university also has a wide range of societies and clubs, which allow students to get involved in extracurricular activities and meet like-minded individuals. the university could work on improving the availability of part-time jobs for students who are looking to gain work experience while studying.
I really appreciate how often I’m are reminded about student services and the help that is available to me. It reminds me that there is always help and reassures me that if I needed it, I know where it would be. I love the societies and connecting to people who are like me. There’s not a lot I would change about the university other than having more halal options food-wise. Currently, i think there is one or two types of chicken sandwiches that are halal. It would be great if there was more variety of food that had halal meat, like more wraps, sandwiches or pastas.
The campus, especially university park is exceptional, such a nice walk with the Green everywhere and there's a lot of buildings to study and hang out in! The student support could be better in terms of specialisation, when asking for career help for example there aren't specialists in that field for better quality information, just general staff which general knowledge.

The course, accommodation and university experience has been perfect so far! I didn't have any problems with settling in, and already call Nottingham 'home'.
The campus is beautiful. Its nice to be so close to the city (20 minute tram ride) yet surrounded by greenery. The buildings are also well designed, particularly Monica Partridge and George Green. All the buildings on University Park campus are within walking distance which makes a day on campus easy. The libraries have a range of study spaces and I enjoy doing my work in there both with friends and individually. I do feel there could be more student support offered, and it is very much you have to reach out to them rather than services being accessible to you, but this is something I can see they are actively working on. Also the campus is on a hill so you will definitely get those steps in.
Lovely location, like a big park with buildings in it. Walking around is always a pleasure.

The best aspects are having the freedom of university and being independent. I love cooking and seeing friends. I genuinely enjoy going to university and learning as well, I find my course very interesting. The worst aspect is being home sick and missing my family. It can get quite lonely sometimes and I miss spending time with my family.
4.3
The best experience is that UON provides a lot more support than any other university should.
Too much content, but overall, I enjoy the subject.
