Moving in day is slowly creeping its way across the calender and just before it does I burst in to ruin its sorry excuse of an occasion.
Anyway, hi, I'm James =P Second Year at Derby Uni, second year at Nunnery Court. If you have aannnnyyy questions whatsoever that the lil guides don't answer don't hesitate to reply to me or pm me. Decent pubs? Cheap noodles? I know answers to them all. (p.s. No, for the last time, I don't know when Student Finance England will get their act together, ask a different question XD)

I'd put my home address in and update when you have a uni address. everyone's going to be expecting you to move around a lot when you're a student.

Spot on, That's what I had to do.
Hi,
I'm a part time distance learning postgraduate, considering switching to full time and attending the campus in person. I would need to live in or around Derby to do this but really have no idea what Derby and its surroundings are like.
I would be looking to rent or buy a family home and have kids in elementary school, but daycare would be helpful. Does Derby provide accommodation for families with children or creches / daycare?
Any suggestions for areas me and my family should consider? Cost is not a factor, but commuter time is. My faculty is at Kedleston Road (according to my student ID), and I'd consider up to 30 minutes of travel including traffic. Is commuting to that campus viable? Are there public transit alternatives?
Thank you for any help you can provide.

Just update it when you move into your student accomodation
Hiya,
I am currently a postgrad student at Derby uni. Derby is a really nice place to live, really safe and comfortable I feel. I have been here for 4 years now and I don’t want to leave ha! The uni is close to the town, I'd say about 35-40 min walk and there’s always buses that go round and also you can drive too. I live in the halls of residence which is smack bang in the middle of the town and uni.
there are lot's of houses here to rent and buy, I can not tell you specifically but I would recommend you to come down here and take a look for yourself. I would come to one of the open days and then you will be able to speak to someone in regards to your situation. The link below tells you when the open days are:
http://www.derby.ac.uk/opendays
We also have a housing department where they help students find houses and other accommodation, maybe you could come and see them too?
Commuting is no problem at all, I have friends who drive from Nottingham to Derby which is about half hour drive and they have done it for 3 years too. Like I said before, they have buses everywhere so its all good. I would recommend commuting as the car park gets pretty full.
If you have any other questions, let me know. Re-post on here and I will try and answer them. Or you can log onto Facebook (if you have it) and search for Manisa Buddy and I can talk to you on that.
I hope this helps

Hi,
Have you already applied for accommodation to Derby and your waiting for the reply? Or have you not applied yet?
I would just fill out the form and put your home address down, then fill it out later. I dont think it makes a difference at the moment as its still early days. Alternatively ring up Derby uni and ask them about it. The link below is for accommodation:

I hope this help

Hey!
I've got a conditional offer for Primary Education and am really confused about dates and the school practice they want us to do beforehand. Anyone else doing this course? Also, anyone going to the induction day on 30th June?
