The nightlife is good if you like drinking and clubbing, but otherwise a poor range on offer. The grass roots level sports and activities were good at the beginning but in the last year or so have significantly gone downhill.
The University of Nottingham for me is the perfect university. Offering not only amazing courses taught by lecturers who are at the top of their field and passionate about their work but also societies and extra curricular activities to suit anyone. The support offered by the university is made clear to students from the beginning and being assigned a tutor at the beginning of your studies is reassuring - they may not know the answer to everything but can point you in the right direction. After being involved with Karnival (my hall won it in 2014 - Rutland with 391) as well as being a Week One Rep I know that their is so much that this University has to offer and anyone that chooses to study here has made the right decision.
I've had a really good experience at uni, made some really good friends and mostly enjoyed my course. I wouldn't have picked another university and I would certainly recommend it. The only downside is the lack of a really good SU, they are trying but they're focusing on the wrong things. We should have a proper SU night rather than having nothing. But overall, I have loved it.
Great uni, all round brilliance. Course good and lecturers very helpful. It is a great city with both great shopping and nightlife. Student support is good and student societies are really good.
You'll get a really high quality degree, but that is only one tiny bit of what makes Nottingham so great. There are so many things to get involved in. There's a society for most things. If you can't find what you're looking for, then you can make your own, and the SU will be really supportive. The SU isn't just societies; it's volunteering, it's media, it's campaigning, it's there to support you and represent you. They're there to help you make the most out of your uni life, and they'll really encourage you to do that. I have had the best time, and honestly think I have the university to thank for that.
Nottingham university is really one of the prettiest uni's in the country, and if I'm honest it was the campus that swung the decision for me to come here! Not only is it a stunning setting but the university itself is brilliant, from the quality of teaching and the amenities available to the extra-curricular activities and diverse cultures. The city itself is in close proximity and is lovely, full of shops and places to go whether you are a club-goer or prefer a more chilled evening. It didn't receive the full 5 stars as with all things it's not perfect. Being on a course shared between two schools meant sometimes there was a lack of organisation and felt like we were forgotten about sometimes.
Brilliant place to live and learn, vibrant community and lecturers always willing to help with a course that is both demanding and thoroughly enjoyable. Beautiful campus and environment is a bonus.
I can't be more thrilled with the way things have started at UoN: from the teaching to the accommodation, everything has been great. There seems to be a real community ethos and everyone is happy and proud to help their University out. The facilities and resources are terrific - the libraries are spacious, bright and almost constantly open; the halls are well equipped and the entire campus (which is gorgeous and spacious) is connected through a solid WiFi system. The SU are active in putting right any wrongs and it's a general great place to be a student and to get involved with something new.
Beautiful, high quality, diverse, amazing lecturers and the home to many unique programmes and cutting edge science. Intelligent students. The facilities are fantastic and the general attitude of students is uplifting.
The University of Nottingham is one of the best universities in the country and once you get here you will understand why. The staff constantly strive to provide the highest standard of education in a relaxed and friendly environment. The campus is beautiful and is kept clean and in great condition.
It is set on a beautiful campus in a fantastic city with a wide range of options regarding degree, social life, sports, postgraduate and careers. It supports you every step of the way
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.
The campus is beautiful and the hopper buses etc make it affordable to live and go here. There is a wide range of courses available and I am do happy that I chose this uni!
A lovely place. Everything is so convenient. A beautiful campus, a fantastic SU, a lovely range of campuses, regular buses... What else can I say? Great support in every aspect. Cannot ask for more.
Beautiful campus with excellent facilities, however the student accommodation is very expensive and the campus is far from the city making it difficult to get to the city centre (and expensive). There are also many compulsory options that are being added to courses that are limiting the flexibility of courses and often aren't known about until that year, meaning that prospective students aren't fully informed about their courses and may be misinformed - at the applicant day we were shown the modules of a graduate, which made the course seem very flexible but upon arrival found out that a bunch of compulsory modules had been introduced, meaning people on my course have no optional modules this year and have to study things they wouldn't overwise choose to do.
Great University, filled with opportunity and motivated young people. In a great area - a lovely city with a buzzing nightlife, equally historically interesting city centre. You're provided with help when needed, the library is a fantastic resource available 24 hour a day during some terms, there are regular buses across campuses and to the town centre.
The university goes above and beyond in all aspects of student life. It is quite clear that there has been huge amounts of money invested in the large variety of facilities that the university provides allowing for a truly personal student experience. The opportunities that are on offer to students are unmatched and extremely helpful in developing yourself for your career of choice.
Great sports facilities, amazing course. Libraries have more than enough books and there is somewhere to get food/drink in each one. Great students union and accomodation is also pretty decent considering how little we pay. The city itself has everything you could ever want.
It's a beautiful campus, with a great city and lots of places to eat on campus. The halls are great and I'm glad I'm here! It was my firm choice and I've chosen well. It's definitely worth my money.
