I studied here part time evenings originally therefore a lot of the facilities weren't open at the times. I was highly impressed with my course, the experiential learning activities were very beneficial and suited to my learning styles. the support from the academic staff was amazing, very accommodating in times of need. now attending in the day time I have had more experience of facilities. I am located at jubilee campus. it has very accessible bus stops inside the uni to the city centre. there is also a free bus service which conveniently for me stops at the end of the lane from my house. I private rent in a professional house share due to working full time therefore no experience of halls living. following an interruption to study I required support from tutors and finance dept with regards to my student finance application.

Did a 4-yr MSci at Nottingham, was good fun and the lecturers were all great. Had a few mental health issues which there didn't really seen to be much support for, in my later years

The University of Nottingham's societies are wide ranging and I have never had a bad experience with any of them. Especially now, I would say they are more inclusive with socials they organise and how friendly committee members can be. Also, the campus itself is beautiful and can help to unwind after a long day. It's always a pleasant experience.

The campus is large and very spacious. Nice environment to study in. Many libraries which allow you to choose where you want to study. Starbucks and many other good food places on campus to keep you going. Good facilities. I would definitely recommend the University of Nottingham. It also is a good student city. The course - Pharmacy is very well organised and structured. It is quite intense but it definitely develops you beyond University but as a future Pharmacist. There are also student jobs on campus which are very flexible allowing you to work and earn some money whilst fitting it around your university schedule. There is also a Portland building which has shops, hairdressers, showers and a range of other facilities available for all students.

Beautiful campus. very good facilities and usually has the equipment required. Student unions seems good but I've never had much involvement.

The jubliee campus is really easy to navigate around which makes it a lovely environment for all students. My course is extremely interesting with a diverse range of modules that you can choose between, some are a lot more challenging than others which makes the course very stimulating. I find the lecturers are very helpful always and want the best from you, they are always available via email and also have office hours in which you can arrange a meeting. One aspect I would like to improve is the level of support you get from your personal tutor as I feel this would improve the university experience.

Campus is lovely, facilities and course very good. SU puts on loads of activities. Only issue is there isn't a massive sense of belonging and pride in the Uni.

My university is pretty great. They are very good at keeping people informed (especially the SU) via emails. The campus building the lecture theatres ate pretty nice but I feel like the main one I attend lectures in are always cold. There is also a wide variety of society that at least one will spark your interest and give you something to do outside of academics. The wide array of libraries is also great because they are well spread out between campuses and some are open pretty late. I love that some libraries (usually the biggest ones) are open 24/7 a few weeks before exams and during exams.

Almost one third through my postgraduate programme. The main points I like about the University: - The campus is beautiful, walking through the park to get to class is a real plus - The lecture rooms are well equipped, although I was disappointed by the amount of people in the class (over 130 students for an MSc programme) - The university has a real international feel, it attracts students and professors from all over - Administrative staff have been very helpful - Very good seminars are organized by the department every week, a great opportunity to learn. My university experience has been very good so far.

People on the SB campus are still required to pay full gym fees even though they are 30 minutes away from the main sport facilities which have been heavily invested in on main campus. The gym membership for these students are therefore not of good value and isolate students from the main UP sport teams.

Although Student Services matters could be handled far better, the university is beautiful to walk around and staff and students are all incredibly welcoming and respectful to the many different cultures present.

Course is very good however as geography having to pay for fieldtrips is hard. the campus bus system is very useful and since being reorganised is easily 10/10. Both careers and support services have been really helpful and monthly updates are useful however it would be better if everything could be achieved from one system rather than one for careers one for modules one for payment etc

Beautiful campus, although Uni Park gets much more attention than Jubilee Campus. They have a really great study abroad programme where you get reduced tuition fees. Good careers services that often puts on career fairs.

I have had a wonderful university experience. the campus at University of Nottingham is lovely, and creates a relaxing and nurturing learning environment. My course is academically rigorous and allows for interesting debate. the facilities are ever expanding and the new sports hall and new learning centre provide for an expansive wealth of experience on campus. The student union is active and puts on many events, and had an active role in Welcome Week which helped freshers settle in. There are surplus career events at which I can explore a range of professions and avenues after my degree.

University of Nottingham is easily one of the best campuses in the country. It's very idyllic and the services provided are second to none. The student union could be improved as we only really have a bar. This would be my only improvement

A very big campus with lots of trees and a lake on site, several large libraries situated around the main campus and the other campuses. The course is interesting and the students Union is very active in student life. Career advice and support is readily available as is general help and support from the university.

Beautiful campus with great teaching staff. However, centralisation of services (creation of student services) has actually made it less efficient.

There are various campuses and all are beautiful. University park campus has a lovely lake and is very green. The student union has a pub with great food. There are lots of types of eateries in the student union as well as a sparr and a boots. These are great for students. There is however lacking food places arroyos the rest of the campus. The sports facilities are great and include swimming pool climbing walll and gyms the gym can get really busy though. The classes are great

The university is great for undergraduate students with so many societies and lots of social events. The sports facilities are great especially gym classes, however the gym can get quite full at times. University park campus is brilliant with lots of shops in the main Portland building, however there are less shops around the rear of campus. The campus is beautiful and has a wonderful walk around the lake where you can see lots of wildlife

Overall, amazing campus facilities and staff. Nothing really bad to say about the uni facilities or timetabling. A lot of effort is put into the campus being greener and the uni really does care for every students' uni life and beyond. Every opportunity is made available to you. It really is a uni experience.

Nottingham university is a wonderful establishment. The courses are of a very high standard, I can particularly say this of its English BA which has incredibly engaging lecturers and professors and modules that cover a vast number of topics and specialties. There does not, however seem to be money to go into the assistance of the degree as the arts library is run down and often does not have the books on module lists. The SU is very good - we have a bar on campus which serves great food and cheap drinks but you have to go into town to go clubbing.

The university and campus is beautiful and well kept, with regular garderens making sure everything is tidy. Although there is some building work going on, the campus remains peaceful and accessible. The courses are interesting and independent, allowing for a wide breadth of study and a lot of personal choice. The student union is fairly quite, only hosting a few events a month but generally there are good vibes and plenty of entertainment provided by other residents in your halls.

The university has a set of beautiful campuses (University Park is the biggest and greenest) and a fantastic new fitness centre with pretty much every kind of facility you could wish for. The surrounding student living areas are really good and the town itself is a great uni town; cheap, great nightlife etc. In general, the quality of life is pretty sweet here. In terms of the education received, the Law course was very good though quite academic and so perhaps not as good for those wanting something more vocational. They also don't spend a lot on us Social Science students and the library facilities could be quite strained during exam times.

I love the environment here. The lecturer are super helpful. Boating also available at the lake. The lab also loads with bunch of computers. Shuttle bus every 25/ 30 minutes and free for students. What more could you ask for...
