Nights out are good but the big students nights are very similar would be nice to have more variety. Transport is very good but can be more tricky when living on campus and its a bit further out from the centre. Value for money is good but not as cheap as other student cities e.g manchester

Overall my experience of studying at NTU has been great the location of NTU City campus provides many opportunities to drop to the shops,eat out,socialise and even pop into town for interviews or external city evens.NTU Clifton campus however is quite the opposite and sits in the heart of Clifton, clifton has very few shops but does offer a local McDonald’s and KFC.NTU is however great at providing everything you need on campus and for those pupils who want to study on a more isolated campus but still be within reaching distance of the main city through the NTU bus system this would be perfect for you.Ntu Brakenhurst campus is also an amazing campus based in Southwell this campus is very isolated but is full of green space and calm sceenary ideal for anyone who is interested in the outdoor or nature based subjects.Having the opportunity to live at any of the NTU Campuses and commute is another great thing about studying within nottingham as there is so much to do across the city.

Nottingham has two universities and so the location is fantastic. It is extremely student friendly and also cheap, with lots of student prices (especially on nights out). Plenty of buses that go from the universities to town, with a tram used near Trent University. The Victoria shopping centre has a variety of shops and restaurants to choose from, with plenty of clothes stores for students.

Nottingham is beautiful and full of quirks. The nightlife is fab with a variety of choice, my uni is near the center so I can shop for the essentials with ease. The shop for the arts building is affordable and you get great bargains on materials.Everyone is friendly and making friends takes no time at all! I really love Nottingham as a city and recommend it!

Nottingham is a great night out! There are so many restaurants, clubs and bars that is suitable for so many tastes. it's great for quirky little intimate bars that have character and charm. Everything is also in walking distance of each other which is great

I think Nottingham is a perfect size city for a student who has maybe come from a smaller area! There’s so much to do in terms of eating out, nightlife, shopping and things to do. Transport is really good and I feel most things are good value for money. In terms of entertainment there is the theatre and comedy club however I feel there could be more variation.

My campus was not in Nottingham. It was in Southwell. About 40 minutes north from Nottingham. Would not recommend unless you have your own vehicle... Lovely campus however. All focused on animal studies as well as conservation. Very eco-friendly and one of the most beautiful campuses I have ever visited.

Nottingham is an amazing, vibrant city full of lots to do for all ages. The nightlife is great with lots of variety of clubs for students and non-students. The food scene is unparalleled to any other city with loads of amazing places for Michelin star meals, to freakshakes, to afternoon tea. The transport in the city is fantastic with the bus and tram networks providing easy access to the whole city.

I live in Beeston part of Nottingham and it is a wonderful place with a loads of great shops nearby. only problem that all the clubs and night outs are on the other side of the town but that is easily fixed by a tram journey.

Nottingham is a very student-oriented city, which means there’s a good array of bars & cheap food. The Orange Tree is arguably one of the nicest pubs, with good prices. There’s a distinct lack of museums, compared to cities like Liverpool & York. The buses are regular & clean - the app is easy to use too. And there’s a great deal for students when it comes to bus fares. The entertainment in the city is really good, with a lot of live music, etc. And in the market square, there is a good array of market stalls every other month or so

The city is not big and everything is situated closely to each other and so it is very convenient. There are pubs and clubs where students usually do night outs and pretty safe since its a student city. There is a centre for ice skating and can go visit the historical places as well. The restaurants are nice and not very expensive and many of them has student discount.

Great city with lots to do. Lots of clubs for nightlife and also bowling and mini golf etc if you're not much of a clubber. Also lots of shops and nice reasturants. Everything is within walking distance.

The scene in Nottingham is generally quite pleasing. Everything is within walking distance and if for any reason you need to travel out the city then the public transport is very cheap and with the additional use of the trams it makes traveling very easy. The shopping is mediocre for a major city and there’s not much going for it food wise in comparison with Birmingham and Manchester.

Nights out are great, lots of choices for bars, clubs, restaurants etc. For all different age groups and people with different interests also! There’s plenty shops in the city centre and good transport links available to visit the city all of which are very quick and frequent. So many student prices and discounts available to do all you need to do within university.

In Nottingham, there are a varitey of places to eat as well as unique bars. It is very easy to get into the centre of town from the major student spots. Once in town, there are many studnet centred restautants that offer student discounts. There is a cookie dough bar which serves alcohol and cookie dough as well and is extreamly affordable. Aside from that Nottingham overall has a cute vibe with fun activites such as bowling and a planet bounce. Within the university campus of University of Nottingham the SU organises various activites within the city centre. The Nottingham Trent university is in City centre and is also accessible to all students. The city itself is extreamly student centred with access to food shops near many student accommodations and an active nightlife. It is definitely a good place to be!

The location of the Nottingham Trent University is great as all the lectures are only a few minutes away from the accommodation and although the campus is open the facilities are only available to university students. The city is nice, welcoming and overall great place to live It is known as a student city as it is mainly full of students. There are many discounts available to students and there is a lot of culture going on which is also good as you could go on a day trio with friends. The campus is in the middle of the town centre so any sort of shopping is easy and also tramlines run across all the campuses and to the station.

There's a huge variety of really great nights out in Nottingham, all really close to Lenton where most of the student accommodation is. I live 10mins away from a Lidl which is great, a 15min bus journey to campus and also not far from a canal which is beautiful when it's sunny. In the city centre there's occasionally food markets or stalls selling handmade items which is great!

Nottingham is big enough to explore, but small enough that you don’t get lost! Loads of great places to eat, from chain restaurants to individual cafes. The Victoria Centre has lots of high street shops as well as an awesome fancy dress shop for all your fresher needs. Lace Market has some really cool cocktail bars and a load of vintage shops where you can find some serious steals. The city really does have it all! The trams makes getting around super easy, and Maryland chicken near Pryzm is a must for an after clubbing food stop!

Nottingham is the perfect student city, with the city centre being a 20 minute walk from the UoN student area in Lenton, and loads to do in town in terms of places to go and the nightlife.

Nottingham is a great student city, everything is directly within the town centre including nottingham Trent accommodation. All the clubs are in walking distance and so are the shops. The prices are very cheap for a city especially taxis which is a lot better for students. The tram runs through nottingham which makes it so much easier to get anywhere in the city.

I love nottingham it’s not as busy as London but still has a lot of fun things to do. I thought the nottingham castle was absolutely amazing and I really enjoyed the cote brassiere as I love French food
