so, may I ask, how long does it take to walk from ancaster to the pharmacy building?

Hi there fellow Pharmacy student!

so, may I ask, how long does it take to walk from ancaster to the pharmacy building?

Pharmacy dude here Depending on how fast you walk it could take 20 to 40 mins. Though you're probably best getting on free a hopper bus I'd say.

o-O Do people really walk that slowly? I'm a fast walker so it's hard for me to tell but I do that walk in 13mins~. 40mins seems a bit much.

Catered. Ancaster Hall. What do you want to know? The food AT halls isn't that great but then again what do you expect? Personally I find it a bit taxing on the bank balance(in my defence I chose my room based on what I expected to get from loan/grant). But then again looking at the price difference between BGP and UP you're probably saving huge amounts of money going catered. £400-500 difference it looks like - that'll last you 20 weeks~ in regards to expenditure on food living in self catered halls. Two terms alone are more than 20 weeks. Lunches can be fairly good though, if you're catered. - there is tons of choice(4 places for sandwiches and the like, another 4 places for hot food(not including the places that do sandwiches with hot options too) and 4 mix bars, which are places at 4 halls on campus that do hot food, oh and a place at the sports centre. I may be missing places too.)!

Ask if I've missed anything you'd like to know.

Hye gys, I've got an unconditional to study Maths at Notts and was wandering what my options are if I was looking for a room with ensuite and was also catered, on university park, gonna apply for accom tommorow. Quick replies would be great. Thanks.

Congrats to ya! Anyway to answer your question, all the accommodation options on University Park are catered, plus you don't get to pick the halls that you'd like to be in. So you're pretty much set. In the application they just ask you to state which location and what type of room you would like.

Hi everybody !

I'm from France, and got an unconditional offer from Nottingham, which I really think I'm going to accept, but I had some concerns about the accommodation.
I do love the idea of living in a self cathered accommodation, as I really Luke cooking my own food, and I also like the idea of sharing a flat with few friends.
But I'm a bit afraid that having to cook my own food may be a little stressfull. And the problem with the cathered halls is mostly the food, like the "quality" and the balance of the meals.

Do any of you have some advices ?? It would be reaaaally helpfull ! Thanks a lot !

Bonjour! I don't think you should worry much about those things, if you don't mind putting some time into cooking and if you can cook then it won't be all that stressful. The catered meals are also more balanced and healthy than you think, someone posted a menu somewhere but I'm not sure where. J'espere que je vous aider in peu, pardon ma francais est terrible! Where in France are you from? Ma mere est ainee en Alsace et je visite la France beaucoup.

Bonjour ! thanks for this quick answer ! Looking at the menus may help my decision
But now I have another question... As I'll be taking business course, which takes place on the Jubillee campus. I was thinking I might go in the Raleigh self cathered accommodation or on the uni park cathered accomodation. Which one would you recommend for a first year ? Like in terms of social Life and everything?

And I went to high school just near Switzerland, but now, I'm working in Paris

Hi, just wanted to know how long do you think it would take to walk from Florence Boot Hall to the engineering department?

Thanks.

I'm based on Jubilee campus and really liked Raleigh Park - I'd be going back there if I didn't need a studio flat this year!

Raleigh is very social and really close to campus so it's easy to get involved with everything. The rooms are a good size, as is the kitchen/living area. It's certainly big enough to have a few people over for a bit of a gathering or study day! In your first week at Raleigh you're included in everything the on-campus halls do but you have the freedom to feed yourself at the hours you want. If you really struggle to cook for yourself then buy in a couple of healthy ready meals and freeze them for the nights when you're just too tired and save your cooking for the other nights.

I've been self catered since 17 (now 25) and you really just get into a routine. I almost chose
catered but realised I'd struggle with strict mealtimes and unhealthy options so now I'm back to cooking for myself.
On the accommodation website there's the option to view a week's food timetable.

So you would recomend Raleigh, right ? I'm taking the opinion of anyone who could help
Are there lots of first year in Raleigh ?
