Nottingham Trent university is a great place to study with so much help and support from peers student reps and aslo the fantastic team of student union reps

It's just amazing

The worst part so far in my experience was the fact that my department mentor did not take any action seriously. Then the good things about this university are nice environment, accessible facilities, various of activities to attend, Global Lounge, and people.

So many great events and opportunities put on for students. Exceptional support for students through su services. Well rounded for everyone’s interests and hobbies

The worst aspect for me is the student support. At the beginning of my second year, I suffered two bereavements in my family, one of which being my father, the other my uncle- this was also during lockdown, keep in mind. I tried my best my best to continue the year as best I could but was not reaching my expectations as I developed extreme anxiety and depression. This led to me reaching out to my head of course and explaining my situation. There was little sympathy and no help or advice given by her. I was then passed about, given several different emails to contact for support, all leading to the advice that I should talk to the Chaplin on campus. No professional mental health service was offered nor was any academic support. My grades continued to decline and so I reached out once again to ask if I could retake the year so as to achieve better grades. I was told that it would be possible but only for the modules I hadn’t yet completed, so I should not hand in any more work. My request would be handed to ‘the board’ and they would decide if it would be possible for me to retake. This was just after Christmas and I did not hear back about whether I could return to university until September, meaning I could not make arrangements for accommodation and the limbo only worsened my anxiety and distrust of the university. Only rubbing salt in the wound, they also limited my grade to a low third meaning that I would have been better off sticking year two out the first time around, if I wanted better grades. No outreach has been made to me since, no academic support offered and in fact, while this is the most egregious error of theirs, it is not the only one I could talk about; for example not registering me on the course until I have shown up to class and had to complain about not being registered, two years in a row. The best part of the university, for me, is when I don’t have to go in. Even opening emails or logging in online has become a source of painful anxiety for me over the past two years, thanks to the apathy and disregard shown.

The student union at Nottingham Trent Is amazing, I believe their work and commitment has made my time at uni the best, the events are incredible and freshers weeks keep getting better and better. The support available is also very good, and I feel I would always know where/ who to go to for what. The university is very welcoming and makes everyone feel part of a community. I love it here

The NTSU provides amazing facilities and entertainments for students and I really believe they are best in the country

As a student who goes between city and brack for the last 3 years I can say that NTSU always deliver. Whether it’s reduced fairs for busses or getting the price of parking permits scrapped/reduced. Also being a freshers rep and part of the students union for the last 2 years I’ve seen first hand the amount of help and feedback NTSU takes on board. The door to the office is always open if anyone wants to come and speak to the officers/staff. They really do listen to everyone’s feedbacks and act accordingly to make sure that the SU provides students with the best experience they can

Best thing is that they’re really supportive and understanding when it comes to mental health or anything else that could be effecting your studies. However, some of the tutors aren’t particularly inspiring in any way which can be disheartening.

More transport links on the weekend to university (clifton campus) would be great
