Nottingham is one of my favourite cities in the UK. I thing it has the best nightlife and some of the coolest bars that offer good deals for students! I also love the fact that Nottingham is neither too big or too small. Shopping wise, Nottingham has the best mixture of your typical highstreet shops and also a lot of vintage and charity shops that always have something good in!

Nottingham is a great place with loads of things to do for lots of different people. Baa bar is a great night out in a Thursday if not feeling the busy rock city. Pom Pom is also great there's so much to do and everything is on your doorstep

At Nottingham Trent University the location couldn't be better. You're right in the city centre where you have easy access to nightlife, shopping, varying activities including crazy golf and bounce. Accommodation can be relatively cheap depending on what you want to get for your money, and you're rarely further than a 15/20 minutes walk or a 10 minute team away from uni/town, even living out of halls. The majority of halls are right on campus meaning you can roll out of bed 5 minutes before and get to uni on time, especially good if you've made use of the nightlife the night before! The uni has its own tram stop which you can use to get directly to the train station in around 10 minutes so going home or having visitors is also very easy if they're coming by public transport. There are also buses on campus that can get you to Clifton campus for those who will be doing sports, or would rather be closer to the centre for their first years of uni.

Nottingham is great for socialising and shopping, there are lots of quirky bars and clubs. The buses are frequent and there's a tram service that makes for cheap, quick, comfortable transport. There are also lots of places to eat, with a great selection of cuisines. There is also a plethora of cafes that which can be used to do work in. The downside of Nottingham is that it doesn't feel like the safest city, there are a few rough areas.

Nottingham is a great city, there’s a broad variety of shops, restaurants and bars to choose from. There’s lots of fun things to do on both sunny or rainy days, and fantastic public transport links to help navigate the city.

Great nightlife, with plenty of choices ranging from clubs to bar and activities like mini golfing that opens till late. It's lovely to have a compact city centre where shops are located within short walking distance

Nottingham is a great place to live. The location is fantastic - as someone who lives in the country there is just the right amount of green to keep me from feeling homesick. University is close enough to town that it is no great effort to get to everything and the campus feels like it's own little haven of green, away from all the business of the city. Transport runs really frequently (although be wary of rip off taxis at times) and there's always something to do! Love my degree and this city

derby campus is out of the way, feels forgotten about. transport links there are not regular enough. sports and society blus are poorly managed there, very inconsistent.

In the city centre so all the night clubs are near by.Live above an aldi.And the cost of the apartment is very cheap for living in a non ensuite room.

Good all round city. Good food places including restaurants and pubs that sell good pub grub. Great places to drink casually and for night's out including cocktail nights or days and nightclub type drinking. Loads of hotels to stay at around the city centre and on outskirts. There are also entertainment for old and young. Casinos, cinemas, bowling, crazy golf.

Food at the university is not cheap but not expencive neither, you can eat hot meal for 4£, get sandwiches from 2-5£. However, drinks are kind of expencive, as only one type of juice is there which costs 1.30£. Regarding shopping, lots of shops to go, victoria centre around the corner. Things to do at Nottingham? I would say eat, shop and party.

I don’t drink a lot but the few nights I have out in Nottingham have been good. I like how they have just student nights quite a lot in different places so it’s not mixed with the younger or older generation. I think there are so many food options around town. There so much choice from Chinese to pizza to all you can eat places. Definitely love that there’s a Taco Bell here, which I don’t have in my home town. The shopping is Great too, it’s not amazing but it’s got a lot more choice than home so it’s good. The victoria centre definitely has an a good choice of shops such as urban outfitters and kiko. But also has more stuff for the lads like gaming shops and specie men clothing shops. The thing I like the best about shopping is there is a street of shops which are a bit more high end as well, with a Mac, jack wills, flannels, ted baker and all that sort of thing which I like having a look down. There’s also a lot to do as there’s a cinema, parks to walk around and that sort of stuff. There’s a mini golf place in the corner house which is great fun and not too much money. I think it’s definitely value for money living here and I am enjoying it here so much.

So many options for nights out which is great. The food is fantastic with all the amazing local cuisine. The shopping could be better but it is cheap and reasonably prices. Transport is great with an efficient tram service, bus system and an abundance of Ubers.

The location is amazing for a multitude of reasons, including the closeness of the clubs for going out to the amount of shops there are. The location of these are close enough to walk, which is cost effective when your a student who may not want to pay for transport each time

In the centre of the city which is amazing for not only the nightlife experience, but for shopping and for socialising. One particular benefit is the wide variety of food and shops, which is amazing to come and experience when there is not half as many back Home

Nottingham is a well facilitated city with plenty of life day and night. There is always something to do no matter the time or day. It's well adjusted to any generation. With a cheap night out you can't go wrong!

Lots of nightclubs and bars, with fast food and sit down food all around as well as shops. Lots of entertainment around the city.

Possibly the best move I've made so far, amazing transport in and out of notts and not to costly either. Great for shopping especially the new Intu centre.

This is a good place to live in great student halls and housing close to campus. Lots of great places to eat and drink. Good transport; busses, trams and a short walk to the station.

Such an awesome city, tons of shopping and a price range to suit all. Beautiful markets. Easy travel in and out of city. Perfect for music lovers due to the range of music venues from small digs at rescue rooms (where you can get intimate with bigger bands too) to massive gigs at motorpoint!

Nottingham is the perfect city for students. Everything you could need in the city, within walking distance of accomodation.

Brilliant place to go has a lot to offer, although the reputation isn’t good it’s surley a good day out for family and for friends as it has a brilliant atmosphere for both situations

Nottingham is a great city for nightlife. Everything is within a hundred meter radius. University's take this to their advantage.
