Nottingham Trent Freshers 2011-2012

do you know when we recieve the accommodation pack? I've an unconditional so I heard we get first choices? lol

I had a chat with one of the people in the accommodation services and he said it should be sometime next month, so most people should have it by the end of March/beginning of April I think.

Ahhh now that's exciting Also, do we get our NTU Student numbers and stuff with that so we can log into the NTU site?

How far is Sadby Hall from the main city campus? I do want to book Gill Street, but firstly a lot of other people want to book that and secondly its expensive.
How far's Norton Court from the main city site?

heyyy, sandby is literally a 5 min walk to the city campus...if that!
I'm thinking of staying in sandby, was gonna stay in hampden but I like the idea of having my own bathroom lol x

Sharing a kitchen with 13 people? :O I cant even imagine the mess

I know haha, I saw that and it put me off a little :s but I really wanna live on the city campus cos I'm lazy haha. Maybe I should choose Hampden....im rubbish at deciding stuff haha!

where are you hoping to live?

Im thinking Hampden too, was Norton Court at first but then thought nahh...

Have you got any idea what the rooms are like in Hampden?
I can only find one pic ha

what are you studying then?

anyone applied for criminology?

You won't actually be able to apply for accommodation at all with NTU as you hold an insurance offer, so you won't get an accommodation pack with booking details as only people who have it as their firm choice get this. its the same for most unis so you will apply at whichever uni you have a firm offer for accommodation and if you happen not to gte in on results day then you apply at your insurance choice and see what they have available

I just found out about this recently. My school didn't tell me about any of this, and just rushed me into my firm and insurance. Damn! Never mind, I guess i'll just find out on results day? Thanks.

So I don't quite get the timings of fresher's week? I've been told that it's 2 weeks before classes start? So does that mean we do freshers and then either go home or remain in the accommodation for two weeks, or I'm wrong...?

No problem, sixth forms never make it clear to students sometimes that they can't apply for accommodation if the uni is their insurance or some of the other stuff as well sometimes

ooo i looked at gill street on the internet and it looks so nice!

and i think it's my first choice yeah got an open day next week so will hopefully decide then! i went and had a look at it last weekend too, to be nosy and i loved it

im guessing you're on a gap year then?

That's so annoying that they didn't tell us... blaaa. Well I guess i've just got to try and meet the grades for my firm. I've been to Nottingham Trent twice now, but I've forgotton everything LOL. How far is Simpsons from the city campus? And Blenheim, how far's that? I think I'm just going to try and get into Sandby Hall if I can, Gill street has a lot of demand so I know i won't get into there. And I've heard some very bad thing's about Norton Court. Do you go the Uni? Where are you staying? (SORRY for so many questions... Just pm me if it's too much lol)

hey, Yes i study at trent, final year student studying history at clifton so i'm not far from finishing now.

here's a map giving rough details of the locations of all the halls, not to scale so it makes some seem closer than they are really. https://selfservice.ntu.ac.uk/accgifs/map.htm best place to look for info on the halls would be www.ntu.ac.uk/accommodation click on browse accommodation and then search all the ones for city, prices will differ though but info won't.

Norton court is in Radford which although not far from uni by bus isn't in the best area but if its like the last few years then bus pass may be included with that one. blenheim is quite near to the uni but its up a really big hill which is a downside but is right near the main shopping centre and maybe 10 minutes walk to uni. sandby is on the campus so its basically on the doorstep for lectures, simpsons is quite close by near derby road and easily accessible by bus to the city centre. sandby is probably the best bet to be honest
