Nottingham

Nottingham is a very pretty city, lots of shops, some museums, lots of unique interesting bars, nice places to live etc.

Incredible variety of nightlife from clubs to bars , with different music from indie, to rock, to mainstream pop. The number of different restaurants offering a vast array of different cuisines is staggering. Clubs and pubs are cheap and the range of shops will suit any budget. You will never be bored in Nottingham.

Nottingham is a small enough city that it very quickly feels like a home. With an incredible music scene, there’s a gig of some sort happening somewhere across the city every night, meaning those who love live music will be able to discover hundreds of new bands whilst in Notts. Because everything is quite condensed and central, everything is easily accessible by foot (however there are great bus and tram links too). The Lacemarket/ Hockley area, though only five minute walk from the market square, feels like its own little world, full of independent shops, bars, and music venues. For those who enjoy shopping there’s a multitude of both large chain and also quirky independent stores. For foodies there is literally every restaurant/ cafe you could possibly dream of. For nights out there is a club/ bar for everyone’s differing tastes. For history nuts there’s the castle, cave tours, historical pubs such as Ye Old Trip and The Malt Cross... and for scenic views you don’t have to travel far to reach the picturesque Wollaton Hall, the legendary Sherwood Forrest, or even a summers walk down the river Trent to Beeston lock if you’re feeling adventurous. Due to the city’s high student population with both Uni Of and Trent Uni nearby, it’s so easy to make friends and get to know people from all walks of life. The concentration of students in town also means you always feel very safe. As a young woman who’s grown up in a tiny village in Buckinghamshire, I’ve not once felt unsafe in Nottingham, even at night time or when walking alone. I could go on typing forever, but I wholeheartedly believe that Nottingham truly is the best place for a student/ young adult to live in the UK - I never want to leave!

great nightlife and lots of things to do, from shopping to clubs and bars. Got everything you need in close proximity

Nottingham’s location is perfect for me, im from the West Midlands so its not to far but far enough. It’s a big city with everything you could ever need a bus or tram away. It’s very student budget friendly with all the restaurants and things to do offering some sort of student deal!

Good place, lovely city and great nightlife. Trams and buses are reliable and has a friendly vibe to it. Plenty of places to see and things to do!

The Victoria shopping centre in Nottingham is one of the best shopping centres I have been to. They have a good variety of shops such as JD sports, house of fraser, new look and etc.

The university is right in the town centre. So if you have an hour to pass during uni then your not shorr of options. Various food places and, majority do student discounts

Nottingham contains everything you could wish for! It has a wide variety of social opportunities (cinema, days out, restaurants, etc) and every shop you could think of. The transport is brilliant, everything and anything is a bus/tram away (if not walking distance). The two universities sharing the city have healthy competition, so the student life is brilliant. I would highly recommend studying, living or working in Nottingham; it's definitely a home away from home!

Nottingham trent university, is set right in the city of nottingham within a few minutes walk there’s various nightclubs, restaurants, shops etc. Without a doubt there’s always a motive on any day of the week.

Nottingham is a great city that’s full of things to do - from sports games, to shopping, to walks in parks, to museums, to art galleries, to the castle, and even to underground caves! It’s also got more restaurants and cafes than you could ever hope for, so you’re never short on something to eat! The public transport is also one of the best in the UK, with reliable buses and trams that give you access to the whole city. I absolutely love living here!

Great student nights from Monday to Friday , loads of student friendly cheap bars and places for food. Transport links around the city are many and quick with trams and busses running almost all day . Finally shopping is great in notts with the Victoria centre as well as the broadmarsh centre as well as all the great shops around the city

Lots of independent shops and cafes and restaurants as well as all the normal chain places. Great student transport and links to campuses, station and everywhere in town. Nights out are great for students and lots of drinking deals

Great university, good student support. Very fun for nights out... plenty of music venues and pubs with real ales and beers. Would recommend the city

I chose my uni partly because I’d heard it was a cool area with lots of bars, pubs and clubs, which I prefer. So I’d definitely say consider that sort of thing when deciding on a uni!

Nottingham nightlife is great, there's also loads of things to keep you busy during the day too! The best thing about Nottingham is the amount of pubs you can choose from, there's modern, sky bars and your classic local. The variety is great!

Had a cracking night with the lads in Brewdog. Topped off with great beer!! I’ll be back for sure. I’d recommend to anyone

Brewdog was one of my favourite places in Nottingham due to the atmosphere and lovely beers, would recommend to anyone

Great nights out. Different parts of the town for different types of nights. Stealth for house music lace market area for nicer bars and clubs.

Brilliant city! It doesn't feel too big so that's it's intimidating especially if you're coming from a rural background. There is a wide variety of events that run throughout the year where anyone can find something they enjoy to take part in.

Good for going out either clubs or bars and pubs. So much choice for food loads of places to go and different types of cuisines to choose from. Shopping is pretty decent particularly for the size of the city. It’s clean and pretty and fairly safe. Good student city

Nottingham is a great city with excellent transport links (plus the cost of a student bus card is super cheap!). However, I am on Sutton bonington campus where there are barely any transport links and it is 10 miles away from university park! This has proved quite irritating to travel to unless you live nearby, which very few people do as there is very little to do near there and taxis home after a night out are extremely expensive.

there’s literally nothing to dislike about nottingham, everyone loves it. best student city ever! don’t know a single person who doesn’t love it here.

There is a lot of bars which is great. Plenty of places to go and eat. Plenty of places with craft beer and better with Brewdog Bar. A lot of transport around the city.
