Nottingham Trent Freshers 2011-2012

Unlucky man, at least you don't have to worry about summer exams? Ahaha, I live in a tiny little village in Sussex, four shops and a pub, and you think you have it bad

Looking at accomodation now, do you know where you want to stay? Loved Gill Street on the open day but it's probably gonna be waaay too expensive!

Actually I only did two full courses and an AS, I decided to finish off the A2 whilst I'm waiting for uni gives me something to do and boosts my grades I guess. so I got summer exams too

I guess you win there aha. Gill St is lovely yeah but is expensive, if you can afford it and lucky enough to get a room I say go for it myself, I've applied for private accommodation to save me the hassle of trying to book halls again lol.

oh right, fair enough yeah I realised that when I went for the social sciences open day on the 12th of feb, all the buildings for lectures etc. were based around the city.
I recognised that when we drove towards the city centre and I was pretty amazed at it, especially with the sporting fields it had too :P
is it? yeah they wouldn't show us what the halls were like because obviously, the residents were in them, so there was a no show :/ are we able to see them anywhere online?
very small or live-able small?
thanks

really?! i've applied for psychology with sport and exercise science
what do you think of the course? are you happy you're doing it? also, what other uni's did you apply for?

Nice to see someone's who's willing to help us 'potential freshers'. I'll be based on the city campus and was wondering how quick on-campus accomodation gets booked? Also is there a confirmed date and time of when the booking system goes live yet?

Final question, you don't have to answer it Tell me 5 reasons why you enjoy studying at Nottingham Trent (social, education or whatever reasons)

hi, ive got conditional offer at trent aswell doin psychology with sport science, i went to the open day on wednesday and looks buzzin, i checked sandby halls and it looks decent, my friend was sayin its cheaper there then the newer lookin blocks just across (not sure of the name, they're the blocks just behind the shabbier lookin halls directly across from sandby) my mate was sayin that in sandby you get to know everyone in the halls but wiv the newer lookin block although it looks nicer, you only realy get to know the 6 people on ur block aswell as it being around £40 more expensive per week...

clifton campus looks good its just too far from the action it seems, so sandby i think it is...

do u have to be doing sport science course to play for a uni sport's team or doesnt that matter?... and whats their footy team like?

im a guy, played at pro level before released lol (hence resulting in uni)...

how much nicer is it than sandby, i wanted to have a look inside but didnt get the chance, is it true about it bein less sociable and u reckon it worth 40 quid extra a week?

Fair enough I am not looking forward to my exams haha, but the summer after will be awesome! To be quite honest, Gill Street is way out of my budget haha, just looks so nice! Is it quite hard/competitive to get a place in halls then? I really want to stay in them, even if I end up in the smallest and dirtiest room :')

I confirmed around a month ago too. If you went to the NTU open day they explained that accom bookings would not be opening until later on. Its first come first served. So be quick . Its in April or May that it opens I think, cant really remember. Im going to ring them up sometime soon x

Aha me neither, but I just wanna get it over with and enjoy my summer too . It does look nice, but maybe a bit overpriced lol. Er, it is competitive yeah, with people with unconditionals booking first and all. But if you book soon as the system opens (they'll tell you what day) you'll find somewhere to live for sure if not the accommodation service will help you out. So wouldn't worry much.

i know the prices for both peverell and the new accommodation on clifton if anyone wants to find out then quote me to know them

yes please! how much will they be ?

Within clifton we have an astro turf, 2 rugby pitches, 2 football pitches and a very big sports hall with a big gym, 2 basketball courts, and then another sportshall room upstairs, also with 3 squash courts. you'll never get board on clifton campus either
if you go onto https://selfservice.ntu.ac.uk/pls/selfservice/bwskambd.p_buildingdetail?bldg=PEV and then there should be pictures on the right, click the 3rd picture and there is a picture of the room
it is livable...to be fair you wont really need a tv or anything, just a laptop or comp as you prob wont be in your room for much of the time anyways
i love my course, couldnt have picked a better course for myself to be fair ...some subjects are just common sense but some are more interestign and its good to learn new things. i am very happy doing it, lots of banter and quite alot of people take it. i applied for Birmingham, Leeds met, Bournemouth and I cant remember the last one....but as soon as i went to Trent i knew this is where i wanted to be...
Do you play any sports?

Peverell standard room will be £103 pounds, rooms in peverell that are a bit larger will £106.

new accommodation: standard room £118, studio £132

ahhh brill thanks very much how have you found that out?

worked at one of the post applicant open days at clifton today and prices were there on a piece of paper for next year so probably will be online to view from next week

I probally saw you then. Are you a second year? Whats Clifton like during the week? I was suprised all the shops were shut today, are they normally shut on saturdays then?
