29th January 2018 Print

With so many different universities and great locations to study, it’s a tough decision to make when it comes to choosing where you want to spend your next 3+ years. So here is why Nottingham could be the best choice for you.

Location

Nottingham is a city full of things to do. It is one of the best shopping locations in the UK, with two big shopping centres as well as high-street shops and the cobbled streets of Hockley. You won’t be short on cinemas, theatres and music venues and there is plenty of history and culture too, with the Nottingham Contemporary, Nottingham Castle and Wollaton Hall. If you fancy some fresh air and a short trip away from the hustle and bustle of the city, Sherwood Forest has you covered. 

Accommodation

Nottingham student accommodation is not hard to find, with the university operated accommodations, private accommodation and student houses and apartments for rent. With university campuses in several locations, you have plenty of choice when it comes to location. With such a huge student population, there are also plenty of options when it comes to choosing what company has the best to offer you. Collegiate's Nottingham accommodation is just one example of private accommodation which offers sleek and stylish private living options, but there are also more affordable low-budget options too, so you will have to think carefully about what you want and how much you want to spend.

Universities

The home to two major universities, Nottingham is bustling with students, who make up a huge percentage of the city’s population. If you’re keen on studying here, you have two great universities to choose from, The University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent. Nottingham is a very diverse city, and both universities have a huge population of international students and offer great global prospects.

Nightlife

One of the most important things to students is the nightlife, because not only are you here to study, but you are also here to have fun and make some awesome memories. No matter your tastes and interests, Nottingham is the perfect place to go for an amazing night out. With such a vast array of bars, pubs, clubs and hidden gems, you have endless places to discover and explore. Indie music venues, cheesy tunes and fancy-dress, or classy cocktails, Nottingham has it all.

Transport

Nothing is ever out-of-reach in Nottingham as the transportation can take you anywhere. Nottingham has a tram service, several great bus services as well as the centrally located train station and coach interchange. The East Midlands airport is not too far away either if you need to catch a plane for some more long-distance travelling, and can be easily reached via the Skylink bus service.

Nottingham is a vibrant city that has so much to offer, you will never be bored or struggle to find something to do on your days out. And not forgetting the important part, you will receive the education you want too, with two of the top universities to choose from in the same city.
