Original post by Hollywood HoganThe halls on main campus are catered, but the food is good, and they give seconds.
Nottingham has a slightly better rep than Birmingham generally with employers, but in most subjects they are in even. Having seen both campuses, Nottingham's campus is gigantic and very green, like a huge golf course, with a large lake, and halls scattered in each corner. There also seems plenty of places to hang about on campus, aside from halls. The teaching buildings are also modern and well nice. The layout of the place is really good. There are self catered halls in Broadgate park.
Birmingham's campus is rather odd in it's layout, and whilst the main buildings and clock tower are impressive, the campus otherwise looks quite ugly and under invested. And not very green or spacious, or any places to hang out.
