What is the University of Nottingham like?

Heya, I'm going to the University of Nottingham open day at the end of the month and was just wondering what it is like there.
What do students think about it?
whats the atmosphere like?
What kind of people go there?
Would you recommend it?
What is the teaching like?

I'm looking at computer science as a course but would also like to just know what the Uni is like in general

Thanks!

Hi I will be going to the open day too for CS! Which day are you going?

I've just finished my third year at Nottingham so hopefully can give some reasonable answers to these questions.

Generally students like Nottingham - the campus is absolutely beautiful. If you like green spaces, a campus-based university and nature then it's definitely worth considering. I would say there was a real mix of people here. There are people from all over the world and from all different backgrounds.

I am very glad that I chose to do my undergraduate degree at Nottingham - I recommend it. The teaching is good in my department (Physics) though I don't know about other courses.

Comp Sci is based on Jubilee campus rather than the main campus (Uni park) but they are not far apart (walkable in 15-20 minutes, or there's a bus). Jubilee is also very nice, but much more modern than uni park. It has a lot of interesting architectural buildings.

Nottingham in general is a good place to live. Accommodation is cheap, the nightlife is good, there are lots of great open spaces (such as Wollaton Park), and the university is located away from the city centre but close enough to walk / catch a bus. The bus service has been rated as the best in the country, which I would agree with, and is very useful for students.

the Friday you?

Is it true Nottingham has a high crime rate ?I at first thought this is not true,but then one of my teachers said otherwise which knocked down my confidence.Is this really true ?

What do you think of the synoptic aspect of the physics course? Did you find it hard having to remember masses of information (from the previous months/years)?
