The nightlife in Nottingham for students is amazing, with the best clubs definitely being Rock City on a Wednesday night and Pryzm on a Monday or Saturday night. Also lots of shopping and things to do eg bowling or cinema

Nottingham is a lovely city that is compact but had a lot going on. There are a lot of restaurants to visit with a great variety of cuisines. It is well priced Just wish there was more to do in the city sometimes to get out and about but I suppose there are places like Wollaton park to visit

There are lots or places to shop and affordable places too. There is lots of things to do like ice skating, bowling, or laser quest and escape rooms. Amazing selection of restaurants and fast food places. Good transport.

Everything available is so good and there's so many shops surrounding. It's an easy place to access and good value for money

Nottingham is a fabulous student city, with it not being overall big everything you need is within walking distance and if you don't fancy walking then the bus services are top class! There is an abundance in restaurants and the variety is vast.

1.Everything is walking distance as you can get around from one part of the city to another. 2. There are plenty of restaurants and bars and other social activities.

Nottingham is a great town to be a student in. Coming from London I found great prices and good nights out. There is also i good choice of food where you spend some time searching.

Lovely town full of character. Very busy and rushing with life and entertainment. So much to do and things on offer for everyone.

Love all nights out, food in city centre tastes great, however takeaways could improve. Lots of things to do, such as watch a movie, go shopping, see the history of Nottingham, etc. Can be a little expensive, but bearable.

The city of Nottingham is a vibrant town the energy is alive. The restaurants varity could be extended to something less mainstream and more out of the box. Partnership with student discounts should run through the town as the city centre is majority students with there being two unis two colleges

Nottingham is exactly what you would expect of a student city with plenty of things to do tailored to a student audience. There are many bars and nightclubs as well as a wide variety of restaurants to try out at different prices. Overall it's a very exciting place to live with very few drawbacks.

Good night life and range of restaurants. Lots of nice shops, especially in Victoria Centre. Easy to get everywhere as there are good transport links to and around the city.

The nights out here are the bomb. So many places to go with lots of veriety of music all in close proximity to each other, be it clubs, bars or restaurants, Nottingham has a great night life. The shops here are great as there is a Victoria centre in the middle of town so it's easy to access many different stores from fancy dress to Pandora and boost. The food veriety is incredible, as in any city; the prices aren't bad for city life especially at Cosmo which is a nice buffet place. At the moment there is a lovely Christmas fair on which is getting everyone in the mood for Christmas but is also a fun outing for all ages.

Good for food and drinks but no day activities in city centre other than cinema and mini golf. Highly recommend Boardmarsh cinema for cheap prices. Intu Victoria centre provides very good shopping as well as the surrounding area full with shops. Also Market Square occasionally provides good entertainment e.g. Christmas market.

Nottingham is a lovely city and there is plenty to do for everyone of all ages! There is good, reliable and reasonably priced transport throughout the city taking you wherever you want to go! There are lots of coffee shops, restaurants and bars so there is a good variety to choose from for whatever you may fancy on a particular day, and on the whole are reasonably priced. Nightlife in Nottingham is good, there are lots of different clubs to choose from and most have a student night at least one day a week which is reassuring for many students to know only students are allowed into a particular club on a certain night. There's also lots to do in Nottingham itself from the castle and caves to shopping and the cinema, there is something to suit everyone of all ages!

I think the city is an enjoyable place to live, but does lack some certain aspects many people would find desirable. Financially, it is a pretty cheap place to live and student nights especially are very affordable. I think there is a big divide between the students and the locals though, mainly because the normal prices are too steep for many students to pay, meaning that the students tend to go out in the week and the locals at the weekend, there is no overlap. I think the night outs are good and there's a wide variety to choose from, the only issue is that the most popular ones are difficult to get tickets for and are very expensive if you do manage to get tickets. There isn't that much to do in the city though, there's many eating places and shopping places, but Nottingham lacks activities and sights to see. Obviously it has the castle, but that's about as good as it gets for things to do.

Moving away to a large city worried me at first but now that I'm here I've realised how exciting it is. Everyone is so friendly and caring and there are so many things that I still haven't explored yet such as the contempory museum and a lot of the quaint bars and restaurants.

Nice city aesthetically, with great student nightlife and culinary options. Spent the last 3 years here and enjoyed it greatly Shopping is okay but it could be better including brands such as Apple.

I believe Nottingham is one of the best cities in the UK for the bar scene. It has so many amazing bars with great vibes and good drinks deals. Pepper Rocks is a personal favourite, but walk around Lace Market/Hockley area and you will find many amazing bars, including some hidden ones (Boilermaker, Lost Property, Hockley Arts Club). For Nottingham, the bars are much better than the clubs which are mainly very generic and boring. The restaurant scene is also immense, with all the popular chains, as well as plenty of quirky independent restaurants. Petite Paris and Soulville Steak house are two of my favourites. The tram system is fantastic, there is never very far to walk to where you want to go. Shopping is a little lacking with very few independent quirky shops.

Really great shopping and eating/drinking. City centre very pleasant place. Sometimes need to be careful on nights out with drinks but that can be doing anywhere. Fairly expensive but you can definitely find deals and offers. Plenty of places to walk and find quiet along the river. I found the city to be a good size to have things to do but not get lost. Can find your way round easily.

Nottingham city offers a great range of shops both outside and inside the intu shopping mall(topshop,river island, timberland,new look men's etc). It is perfect for the foodie as there are many food places in the corner house and around town centre. Most places offer lunch time deals and two for one cocktails during the week. Nottingham is also known for it great night life, there are a few night clubs dotted around town centre.
