Lol that's proberly the one thing I'd be very little help with coming from Brum
Trains to Beeston and then a bit of walking would get you to the uni and another bit of a walk from the West entrance would get you to the Chem building.
A train into Nottingham and then finding some sort of bus would also take you there. The Indigo buses take you to Beeston and very close to the uni and there is a uni-link bus, although I'm not too sure where that picks up in town, if at all.
Also have a look at coaches.
I managed to find a train to Nottingham that's not too expensive. I just have to figure out how to get from there to the uni.

There's buses to and from Beeston and therefore the uni. It will be fairly easy once you're in Nottingham to find your way to Uni. Worst comes to the worst there's a taxi, pretty cheap although still a bit of a price on your own.
I wouldn't be too surprised if the actual Uni put on some form of transportation from Nottingham to the Uni. I wouldn't know, so don't quote me on as I drove up, but many Unis do that sort of things (but maybe only for Open Days) but it's worth looking into.

Oh ok thanks! What's the area around the uni like? Never been

Depends which side haha. There's basically 4 entrances and really 4 areas around the uni I believe. Beeston, which is where my accomodation is, is a lovely little place. Bunch of shops and supermarkets and a fairly quiet place, minus us rowdy students.
Lenton is near the Uni as well and that's the dodgier area of Nottingham; if you hear about Shottingham then that's most likely to be referenced really. Although don't worry about that. It's a nice surrounding area around Nottingham and if your are self-catered then you'll most likely be in Beeston, at least for shopping and such.

Shottingham LOL. It can't be worse than London, surely? I'm definitely going to be self-catered so thats a relief.

Depends. The 'nickname' is Shottingham but there's little crime, at least from my experience. I feel safe enough anyway.
And, seeing as you're doing Chemistry, go for Broadgate park for self-catered, purely because the others will require a hopper bus to take every morning. And you'll proberly get 9am starts every morning, just like me

Every morning ?!? I'll probably take your advice, thanks. I'm coming to Notts on 16th Nov for the Chem UCAS visit day so should learn more about the uni.
