Questions about the University of Nottingham? Ask me anything!

Hang up a picture of the campus in front of your study area, that should motivate you!

Accommodation is paid for termly with me - the government sends the loan and then I transfer it to the account of my accommodation provider via an online system.

Really weird question, but did you choose your accomodation? I've heard some people don't get to and was just wondering 😂

What's the sport vibe there like? I play football and heard from other Notts undergaduates that there are 3G pitches, which you can enter for free?? What is the new David something centre like?

Hi, which do you think is better? Raleigh park or Nottingham 2? And why do you think its better than the other. I dunno which to pick from the both.

I live in Nottingham 2 and I've got friends in Raleigh. Nottingham 2 is better, that's the consensus as far as room quality goes. We also have a gym and the staff seem better equiped to respond to any problems.

On the "down" side, the only flat that I know of that consists of students who are European is mine. The Asian community is huge here. The advantage is that it's relatively quiet, but the reputation that Asian students are quite cliquey remains true from what I see. Raleigh Park is more of a traditional "university experience" kind of accommodation for first years.

Ohh right! Does raleigh park have a gym? So you say Nottingham 2 is better, how many flat mates does a normal en suite room flat get? How far is it from jubilee campus and the city center? There are supermarkets close by or do we have to go to the city to buy our groceries?

Thank you

Raleigh Park doesn't have a gym and it has smaller beds and rooms.

In Nottingham 2 we have five rooms in a flat - Raleigh is the same I believe.

Both are equidistant from Jubilee Campus, literally a 5 minute walk. There's a bus stop next to the accommodation that takes you to town, an average journey is about 10 minutes, maybe less. It'd take 30 minutes to walk.

Nottingham 2 is incorporated into a Lidl, Subway, Greggs, Domino's and a noodle bar. Everyone who lives here or at SPC/Raleigh uses them.

Have a walk around the area on Google Maps, it'll get you acquainted with the layout.

Thank you so much for the information
What about the international students? Are there alot? Mostly are from which country?

At Nottingham 2? There are lots - mostly from East Asia. There are a few from the Middle East too and to a lesser extent, Europe. Not many British people from what I've seen, although all staff are.

Hello,

I'm a first year at the University of Nottingham, approaching the end of my first semester. A lot of you will be deciding where to firm/insure soon, so ask away!

Haha i meant the university :P

Have you been to the jubilee campus? What is it like there?

I study on Jubilee Campus, so yes!

It's small compared to University Park but there's a bigger community feeling. You can walk from one end to the other in 5 minutes and I tend to see familiar faces when I travel between buildings. The HopperBus takes you to Uni Park within a few minutes if you want to benefit from the larger libraries on the other campus, as well as the Students' Union.

We have a Starbucks, gym, various private companies, interesting structures and places to relax aside from the faculty buildings.

I prefer this campus (it's one of the reasons why I chose my course at Nottingham).

This video might give you a better insight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IxgJV_VSFU - although it's missing a few new buildings such as the recent Chemistry Lab and Entrepreneur Centre.

Ah, sorry!

Yes, there are students from over 150 countries here. Again, lots of Asian nations are represented. Diversity is apparent everywhere, akin with the rest of Britain's top universities. I've met people from at least 20 countries on my course alone, and it's quite small in comparison to others (100 people).

Thanks! I got an offer for Computer Science there

Oh okay
Do you anything about the FAM course? I have received an offer for that. Wondering how it is! 😁

How do you get on the Periodic Videos YouTube channel?
