Ah okay! I'm still in first year, second semester though. The atmosphere at Raleigh is pretty good, but I stay in Nottingham Two. It's quieter but the rooms are a bit larger.

Industrial Economics is taught in the Business School (used to be an autonomous department but then merged with the B-School).


Oh Awesome, Nottingham Two is pretty much on the opposite side of the road right? Is there much mixing between Nottingham 2 and Raleigh Park?

Where do you plan to stay in second year?

That makes sense! I'm pretty set on coming back to Nottingham I'll probably see you around and maybe hang out :smile:

Yes, literally across the street. There isn't much mixing between Nottingham Two and Raleigh, no, despite being owned by the same company. I think it's because Nottingham Two is dominated by international students from the Asia campuses on exchange. I've only met two English people since living here.

Raleigh does have some sort of social gathering with SPC though, I'm not exactly sure what's involved.

I'm going on an exchange to Singapore in semester 1 of second year, so I'm not sure what I'm doing with accommodation when home for second semester yet!

Hanging out sounds great :smile:. Are you considering other places alongside Notts this year?

What made you choose Nottingham Two? Oh right that sounds great! I believe the self-catered places do offer rooms even if its halfway through the academic year!

Which university will you be going to, I imagine national University of Singapore right? I’m actually considering a semester/year abroad myself!


I am considering other places. I have offers from Notts, Lancaster, Newcastle, Kings College London and Surrey. I've ruled surrey and kings out already and I'm not a huge fan of Newcastle either. I'm kind of stuck between Notts and Lancaster. I have an applicant day for Lancaster in the next 3 weeks (also came to notts last week) which will hopefully help me out. At the moment Notts is still edging it my only fear was the accommodation situation as my course is on Jubilee but I think I'm nearly there

Nottingham Two has a gym and nicer rooms - I also didn't want to be woken up by drunk students and this place is really quiet. Plus, it was the same price as Raleigh if you booked early. Although, there isn't a tremendous amount of difference between the quality of things at Nottingham Two and Raleigh/SPC, so it's splitting hair really.

Yes, I'll probably end up living in some self-catered flat when I return in second year.

I'll be at the National Uni of Singapore, yes! I believe the the Comp Sci dept. and Business School have almost the same partners and it's a good process when applying. I'd offer more insight, but I haven't gone yet. But, definitely plenty of good opportunities.

Ah, hope the decision between Notts and Lancaster is clarified in the next few weeks, but I'm sure you'll make the right choice regardless. :smile:

I'm transferring from my current university to Nottingham. So I'll be using my first year grade from my university.

Out of curiosity, what made you decide to transfer?

In a nutshell, financial and personal reasons.

I'm at Kent at the moment, studying A&F, the course is great but I don't like it here and it's had a huge impact on my mental health.

Notts are considering my application on mitigating circumstances. I live in the Midlands too, so Nottingham is fairly close to home.
Does anyone from Nottingham holds offers at Nottingham University?

This may sound odd, but does anyone know if you could go to the Asian campuses in the summers and stuff?

To independently visit? Sure. There are summer schools too if you want to study for fun. There's also the 'Tri Campus Games' if you're into sport, where you play against teams at the other campuses.
