Hey, so I went to Nottingham site and it said you have to book it through Lincoln : https://www.lincoln.ac.uk/studywithus/opendaysandvisits/offerholderdays/

Medicine BMBS would be us too right or is that just for undergrad?

I will be living with my partner but I have heard really good things about Nottingham student accommodation! I have a friend who was at Nottingham for a few years, she had nothing but good things to say. And to all those who will be looking to share a private rent, she said it was very easy to find somewhere.

You're right to ask. I misread. It says if your offer is medicine at Lincoln, then book it through that

GEM is based in derby right? I’m a bit confused since nottingham has so many different courses and campuses

Hey guys I emailed the GEM team to check. They said if you're studying at Nottingham, which I believe is based at Derby, you'll get an email about the offer holder day and further details in due time. I think it'll be in Derby but who knows lol

The offer holders day is on the 6th April, and based at Derby. We should expect an email about it soon! :smile:

they’re both good tbh but i’m not sure if the uni accom in derby is mixed with other undergrad courses. i found private accom super easy to get when i was at notts previously and probably better for those not wanting to go back to halls

Hi there @bombertwom if you receive your offer, you’ll get an email inviting you to book your place. You can only book through the email. If you have received your offer but have not received an email to book your place, please check your junk or spam folders. If you still can’t see it, then please contact us with your full name and course, and email address on your UCAS application. After you’ve booked, you will be sent an email with a link to your subject programme. Please note that Veterinary Medicine do not run offer-holder days, however you can book on to a Veterinary Medicine specific campus tour of Sutton Bonington here to visit the campus and speak to staff and students from the course. If your offer is for Medicine at Lincoln, you can book your offer-holder day through the University of Lincoln website here.

I sent my academic reference off with my UCAS application but I do believe that is a good sign so I’m crossing my fingers and sending prayers up to God for you

Thank you so much! I sent an academic reference from my sixth form cos my school agreed to let me make an application through them instead of my uni but Nottingham Contacted me post interview for an actual uni academic reference. I don’t see why they’d ask me that if they were planning to reject me so fingers crossed
