    4 Stars Probably the Best Place to Study in England 11/10/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages transport links, surroundings, teaching, facilities

    Disadvantages Disadvantages food in halls, no TV connection

    I originally wanted to go to Birmingham University and has Nottingham as my back-up. I didn't have a huge amount of choice, as there are few places in the country that do my course (French, German and Russian). I never visited Nottingham before I came here, as I live in Bournemouth and it is a very long drive. I have found the teaching to be superb, and they are always most happy to help you if you have any problems. The modern language office is also very helpful, although it seems to be shut at some odd times during the day so if you're doing languages it's always worth checking before you ... more

    I was not exactly adventurous when I left home in Leicester to go to university in Nottingham. I had considered Sheffield, Leeds, Durham and Manchester, but in the end opted for somewhere nearer to home. I was able to make an informed decision about which university to choose as I had attended open days at all the universities I had applied for. This also meant I got to miss double Maths on Wednesdays while I was at the open days, which was a bonus. In this review I hope to outline some of the main good and bad points about the university, and hopefully give anyone planning to study there an ... more

    5 Stars Medicine and the interview. 28/08/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Applying for Medicine in Nottingham is very respectable as it combines clinical knowledge with basic lectures.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Work for 2 degrees in 5 years whereas most of the other unis have 6 yrs to do it in.

    When I first decided that i wanted to apply to Nottingham for a place in the Med School, I was strongly advised against it as my school claimed that they were biased against Northern Students and also students who had applied to Oxbrige. I hadn't however, but I was still a Northern lass. Anyway, I thought I would apply as I didn't have anything to lose. Despite having sent a decent UCAS statement off, I couldn't help but become haunted by what the teachers had said. I waited for what seemed like ages for the questionnaire to come through. They send all Medical candidates this to 'assess their ... more

    4 Stars Nottingham University lives up to reputation... 15/07/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Beautiful Campus, Good Reputation, Good Student lifestyle

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Campus far from town, Student bar not great...

    I chose Nottingham primarily because of its beautiful campus. Having decided on the course I wanted to do at Birmingham, I visited Nottingham for an open day. I was told that Nottingham was one of the most impressive campuses in the UK, but I didnt expect this to sway my decision. However, having looked around I loved it and completely switched my plans! Nottingham campus is impressive. The Lake is wonderful in the summer and it frames the majestic Trent building,which, as an English, student is the base of my studies. I won't spend too much time discussing the academic merits of Nottingham in ... more

    5 Stars A students opinion... 05/02/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages GReat repuation, great campuses, and a great way of life.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Years in Industry aren't compulsary, and for the less self motivating, the fredom can come as a shock.

    While the University of Nottingham is highly regarded, it manages to avoid the stigma and social stunting associated with the Oxford Cambridge experience. I am a third year student completing my final year of a BSC in Computer Science. I spent my first year on the main campus, in Rutland Hall. The second year I spent in a rented house in Radford. I took the third year off, and took up a placement with IBM. This year I have returned to complete my degree, and am again living in rented accomodation, but this time Computer Science and Business has moved to a new Campus, 1/2 a mile from the main ... more
