Any reviews for NTU Brackenhurst halls?

I've recently firmed NTU and booked my accommodation!! Does anyone have any experience for what it's like? I did consider the city campus, but preferred the views there and preferred being closer to the lecture halls.

I know I only realised after booking that there's no onsite parking. I'm autistic but don't think I'd be eligible for the parking permit. Does anyone have any experience on how good the bus services are near to the campus?

Thanks :smile:

Hi @drkondraki,

It's great to hear you've selected NTU as your firm choice and booked your accommodation!

You're correct that while our Brackenhurst halls do have parking facilities available, this does need to be booked and is often allocated on the basis of need first, however it may still be worth discussing this with our Accommodation team.

In regard to busses near campus if you are travelling into the city centre the Nottingham City Transport (NCT)’s Pathfinder 26 bus service will take you to and from our Brackenhurst Campus in 45 minutes. The bus leaves every 30 minutes on Monday to Saturday daytimes and hourly evenings and Sunday daytimes from King Street, just off the Old Market Square. N26 operates until 3 AM every Friday and Saturday night and discounted fares are available to all NTU students through the NCTX Buses app.

There are also a number of accommodation reviews hosted by Student Crowd here!

I hope this helps, let us know if you have any questions.
