University of Nottingham

The course is great—really interesting, a little challenging, but very engaging and becomes really cool once you understand what they are teaching. The labs are awesome; you get to use equipment you’ve never used before. It is a little long, but the time flies by. Nottingham is a fantastic city for students, with everything you could possibly need, and it has some of the best clubs for a night out. Pints are fairly cheap, and transport is extremely affordable. My halls were great; people were very open to getting to know you, and getting to campus was really easy.

The best decision of my life ever! Going out every day is unreal. It's the best student city ever. I highly recommend it; there are no cons at all. Rutland Hall is very good.

Since coming to university, I have felt so at home. From the staff to the students to the stunning campus, the community around me is welcoming and friendly. I am incredibly happy here and the support available is exceptional. You never feel alone, and there is always someone there to listen to any worries or difficulties you may be facing. As an autistic student, my tutors have been accommodating and exceptional in tailoring sessions to my needs and offering ways to make me feel more comfortable. The course is fulfilling and ranges from medieval literature to modern day literature, language, drama, creative writing, and more. Lectures are funny and engaging, and staff make an effort to get to know you by name. I feel like I belong here, and I cannot recommend this university enough.

Amazing experience, I've had so much support!

There’s not a minute where you will be bored at this university. Even though the lectures are challenging, they make the hour we spend with them interesting. My accommodation isn’t on campus, but it’s a beautiful modern building very close to the city centre and all the nightlife if that’s what you’re looking forward to. The only negative is that it is a bit of a commute, but if you enjoy walking it’s a 40-minute walk or a 10-minute tram journey right to the main campus!

Great

Great all around, the only downfall has been the aesthetic of the campus.

NTU has allowed me to easily balance furthering my career while also studying. They have adjusted timetabling so that I can maintain my work commitments and complete additional university work alongside. This has been extremely helpful and will result in a promotion at work when the course is complete.

This course has given me the confidence to engage in more intellectual conversations with people of importance, as I have broadened my knowledge on the economy.

What appealed to me initially about UoN, aside from being a Russell Group university with high employment rates, is its nightlife and support systems in place to provide an ideal university experience while still maintaining high levels of quality work. The lecturers are very involved and check in regularly, as well as tutors who are assigned to mental health, work, and general care. They take pride in their jobs and ability to teach, utilizing their experiences and knowledge to provide the best possible lectures for students. The university itself has many sources for mental health, such as well-being teams, events, and societies targeted to improve well-being. I believe this is important and usually neglected when making the big jump from year 13 to university!
