Sort:Latest reviewsThe University has brilliant support, teaching, and facilities but my particular course could potentially use some more checking on student progress and how well we are grasping the content. The nightlife and societies are all fascinating and diverse and the general feel of the university is very accommodating, open, and inclusive. It is a wonderful place to learn and live.
There are loads of libraries and places to study with friends or by yourself. As the uni is a campus located about 15mins (via tram) from the city centre it has the best of both worlds - a place for students to walk around and then a city with a decent night life.

I feel very supported by my university, lecturers and personal tutor. I feel part of a supportive and inclusive community. There are multiple events and support systems in place such as mental health support and financial support services. We constantly receive emails informing us of that. There are also many opportunities and activities that we can join and also be payed such as the student ambassador scheme which has personally helped me a lot. The campus is beautiful and clean and it feels like home.
Worst: strikes, price, poor quality of campus buildings (mould in Trent building etc) Best:…
Easy to access resources and support make academic progress fully achievable

The Sutton Bonington campus is great, there's always lots going on and because it's fairly small everyone knows each other so it has a lovely small town vibe. It is also in a lovely area but it is a bit of a trek to main campus or into the centre of Nottingham for going out and the transport facilities (Hopper bus) could be improved by having more buses and some more convenient times too especially during the afternoons. The Vet School is great - really good facilities, plenty of practical learning and all the staff are amazing; I wouldn't want to go anywhere else.
The environment within the University itself is really positive and welcoming, and the campus is beautiful. However, during exam season all of the libraries are full from 9/10am onwards, so it would benefit significantly from an additional work space area.
Everyone at the uni wants to help you succeed so you will never be without support. You will also be given access to the best possible resources and experts to help you not only during your degree, but once you start your career too. Things around the campus can sometimes seem a bit disorganised or poorly planned (like maintenance work in the middle of exam season or technical IT glitches) but I think that's just a product of being such a large institution with so many moving pieces.
Campus is beautiful. Student life is so exciting and there is so much going on. The SU is really active and I dont know anyone who doesnt have fun!
Amazing campus with everything important at one place. Libraries are amazing, as well as sport facilities. Just in overall it is not much academically based. You won't get to meet many people without partying.
I love University park campus, it's beautiful with lots of green space and all the facilities close together; I enjoy being on campus and it feels very safe. There are many study spaces such as the main libraries, libraries in the accommodation buildings, subject departments, cafes and areas in the student union. The student union is very helpful in giving support for different issues; I have used the support they offer to help find a house for second year. Also, support dogs have been brought into the maths department for students to spend time with to relax. University park campus is right next to Wollaton park so it's easy to get out into green space for walks and to relax; the campus also has easy transport into the city centre (busses, trams).
The campus is so pretty and the facilities are great! The support you can get is great and there are really helpful support staff.
The best would be how beautiful and green the campus is! I also love how when you are in catered halls you get a £25 meal card a week to spend anywhere on campus which is convenient for in between lectures. The worst has been that I have tried to change courses 3 weeks in and I was declined.
Great environment
The campus is lovely and green and is a relaxing place to work. Everything on campus is in a walking distance and the library’s are great. I love the public transport links. The food in halls could be improved, but they are not that bad, I don’t think anything needs to be drastically improved at Nottingham.
The campus is easy to get to know and you feel very safe when walking around. Furthermore, it always feels clean and I rarely see excessive amounts of rubbish. The Students Union offers a range of societies, clubs and packages to ensure everyone feels included and I feel well represented as a student. The university isn't too far from the city and public transport means you can be in the centre within 20 minutes with ease. The nightlife in Nottingham is exciting and the location of the city in relation to others across the UK means it is easy to hop on a train to see a new city you haven't been to before. There is plenty to do as a young student here.
Best- campus and campus facilities Worst- online lectures during covid
I love the university, I have got support from the careers service and the nightlife is great in the city. The students union could be better, other universities have a better hub, and also more job opportunities within the SU, which I wish we had.

Good learning environment, nice campus, supportive staff and good outcomes.
Challenging content and supportive staff makes this studying at the university of Nottingham engaging and meaningful.
Excellent variety of things to get involved in and an extensive public transport system to support this.
