Nottingham Uni Accommodation 2024

0

Hello,

I have accepted Nottingham (Uni of) as my firm choice for September and have begun researching accommodation options.

I know I will opt for self-catered, and while location isn't that important to me, I would prefer a more social atmosphere.

Does anyone have any recommendations? I've looked into Southwell Hall, but I'm curious about the experiences of anyone who live/have lived there.

Thanks,
Harry

Hi,

I have also firmed Nottingham and I am looking at accommodation. It might help to look at where your course is based and find accommodation near there.

Also it might help if you connect with current Nottingham students through the University of Nottingham website and ask them questions directly.

Any questions just ask!

Hi,
I've got an accommodation question!!

I'm an undergraduate medical applicant, and I have received my Nottingham A100 offer (my top choice!) , however I haven't received any other of my medical offers.
I heard that the only way I can firm UoN as my 1st choice right now is by withdrawing my applications from the other universities (which is something I don't want to do, even though I don't want to go to those unis, as I'd still like to see if I passed the interviews).

However accommodation booking starts 3 April 2024. So I guess my question is whether accommodation is first come first serve in any way? If I wait a few weeks until I get all my offers, will the chances of me getting the accommodation I want, be reduced?

Please help!

Yeah I believe those are first-come-first-serve but I think they don't usually fill up right away though.

How long do you think I have until it starts getting risky? As I don't know how many more weeks until I get my other offers, so do you think I still have a big chance of getting accom I want if I wait more than a week?

Depends which accommodation you're after I think. A lot of the more popular catered halls (like Cripps, Derby, etc) go quickly I think, but yes it took 2 days for me to access the accommodation portal once I'd made an account after firming it.

My daughter applied 2 weeks after the accomodation opened last year. She got her first choice. Shared ensuite in Lenton and Wortley (shared between two people), she later changed to a shared bathroom room (2 showers, 2 toilets between 6) instead about a month later as she reassessed her budget. Not sure if there were many ensuites left after 2 weeks. The shared bathrooms are okay though, you generally get a bigger room, a sink and of course the bathroom cleaning is included. I don't think it is in the ensuites.

i wouldn’t worry, i’m pretty sure there will be a mix of everyone in any halls! it seemed like a really nice accommodation when i looked on the open day so i’m excited, how r you feeling?

ah okay that's reassuring because i didn't look at any accommodation on the open day which, in hindsight, was very silly. i'm quite excited but i'm also really nervous about making friends initially as i can be quite shy around new people
