Hi all! I'm going into my final year at Trent and I study French and Spanish at Clifton Campus. If anyone wants to ask me anything, feel free :smile:

As for those of you trying to decide on accommodation...you'll have an amazing time wherever you go!

Staying on Clifton (whether Peverell, New Hall or College Drive) is great because you can get up and leave 10 minutes before your lecture, but the downside is that it's a bit of a trek for nights out and taxis could be pricey!

Staying in the city is amazing because taxis home from nights out are pretty cheap and sometimes you can even walk depending on the venue and where you're living. In addition you'll be living with a wider range of people studying a wider range of subjects and you won't be tied to university-owned halls - there are private options too. The downside is that you have to commute to uni...

Commuting to Clifton can take between 20 and 40 minutes depending on the time of day (even up to 45 during rush hour) but it's SO easy. The UniLink 4 bus runs up to every 7 minutes between the City and Clifton campuses. In the city it departs from The Cornerhouse (bus stop by Strada restaurant) and at Clifton the stop is right inside the campus between George Eliot (library entrance) and the CELS building.

If you are commuting you should invest in a bus pass that is loaded into your NTU student smart card. The pass can be used on all Nottingham City Transport buses and it costs £199 for the academic year which, although it seems a little expensive, will save you a fortune in the long run. Without the pass it would cost you around £3.70 a day in tickets travelling to and from uni and that would add up to £199 by about Christmas. The pass also means that you don't need to worry about always carrying loose change for bus fare - in Nottingham the buses don't give change so if you only have a £10 note you're paying a £10 bus fare. The pass option is a no brainer.

It doesn't matter on which campus you live and on which you study, you still have access to all university facilities across all the campuses, including gyms, libraries, shops and bars!

im staying on clifton. just wondered how much a taxi would you usually cost on a night out to go into the city centre? Also seeing as im living on campus would it still be worth me getting a bus pass for when i do want to visit the centre? x

I've never had to take a taxi to Clifton but I think I guess it would cost £6 or £7 for the distance you'd travel. In a black cab it would cost more because they start the meter at at least £2. I imagine most of the time you could share a cab with flatmates or other friends on Campus. There are also night buses that run in Nottingham on the weekends so check out the Nottingham City Transport website for those details.

As for the pass, if you're living on Clifton campus don't bother with it. A dayrider ticket costs £3.40, can be used on all NCT buses an unlimited number of times and is valid from the time of purchase until 4.30 the following morning - just enough time to use a night bus to get home!
