nottingham trent accommodation

heyy, i'm thinking of firming ntu and was wondering what the best private accom is? i don't wanna end up in a rly boring accom with mostly 2nd/3rd years but the ntu owned accom is so extortionate idk if it's worth it...

i was looking at study inn, york house, and sandhills specifically so if anyone knows about these i'd love to hear! obviously if anyone wants to completely advise me against going private i'd be happy to hear that too, honestly just wanna know what my best bet is here.

I am not sure what kind of accommodation you are looking for like shared, studio or whatever. I think it depends a lot as well on what you are actually for like u said u dont want it to be boring and things is there anything else?

Hi, I would recommend Cotton House. It is a really nice, modern accommodation and the rooms are en-suite. It is also has an on-site gym and is close to the university. My friends and I are looking for people to take over our tenancy at Cotton House for next year, starting 01/09/2024. Message me if you’re interested in a room (we have 3 available).

im looking for an ensuite 🙂 i'm not too bothered about the crazy party culture or anything but just don't wanna be the only fresher, would rather be in an accom with at least 60% freshers if possible. aside from that i don't really mind, as long as the people there are nice and respectful.

We decided that we wanted to live in a house instead of an accommodation since it will be our final year. If you’re interested in a room please let me know ASAP :smile:

ive applied for first year so im not actually at the university yet but theres a lot of groupchats on fb that are mostly freshers so i doubt youll be the only one! and if you’re worried about not meeting enough other first years theres also alot of fresher reps that will help you meet other first years and go out
and the accoms try and put the first years together in the flats too!

Hey I currently applied to Goldsmiths Court and the price isn't too bad for an unsuited room which is fairly modern and the good thing is that it's basically a stone throw away from trent meaning their would be a decent amount of freshers
hey i booked straits village for next year and it looks amazing, has a cinema room and loads of free gifts for students and the rooms are really modern with ensuites and is only a 7 min walk to campus :smile: if u wanna talk let me knowww
