I would have given the student union five stars however there is no night-life inside the uni part from a pub. Other student unions in the country involve a night club.

Great support for all students with talks and presentations daily in all areas. career services includes talks from different companies and exhibitions for different industries; while international students get talks on how to get proceed after graduation. Great university.

the university has a very clean and open campus separating out each of the buildings and providing both a working and living enviroment. The departments are well established with equiptment to aid students in their learning and this is partnered with excellent teaching staff.

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.

Great combination of student life, activities, academic excellence and research opportunities. My time here has been nothing but incredibly positive. It's an incredibly multiethnic university with connections all over the world. An maxing place to spend five years of my life, for sure. The medical course is amazing, full of hands-on experience and clinical exposure starting from the early years: there's a good reason why it's so high up in international rankings. There are amazing opportunities to get involved in whatever field you want to explore from incredibly early on in the course.

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.

The Sutton bonington campus is beautiful and very peaceful, being a smaller campus. This makes the experience studying there much more personal and everyone is very friendly, making it an excellent learning environment.

Vey nice and friendly people, amazing campus surrounded by nature, and good school facilities. Students union are very well at guiding specially new students and making them familiar to the learning facilities and showing around the campus. Career services also give satisfactory guidance to future job opportunities and how to be in track of applying to different organizations.

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

The university is really brilliant, and so welcoming to both national and international students. It really makes an effort to provide lots of welfare support and is always informative of new opportunities different students can take, either for their career choices or hobbies. The campus is so friendly and there are always people around if there is ever an issue, and I always feel very safe. I love the different clubs and societies on offer and tried out lots of different ones, particularly at the start of the year.

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.

I am a second year student at the university of Nottingham and so far I can say my experience at University has been amazing. The staff are good and seem to genuinely love their jobs. The work load is not too heavy, even considering the course I am studying. The facilities are current and abundant. There is plenty to do on campus and it seems as if our student union are always busy creating new events and activities for us to participate in if we wish. There is also a community feel within the university. I have not utilised the careers services as much as I would hope but I am planning on it. Not only this but our main University Park Campus is beautiful and green. It is also very big, tidy and picturesque... If only I spent more time on the actual campus than where my campus is - in Derby. Even though the David Ross sports village is very modern, the price for joining is something that is out of my price range as a student. I would have like to have done a sport but the joining fees and the sports membership are a deterrent.

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.

I'm in my first year of Physics at Nottingham and would give it 10/10. All my lectures are well thought out and stimulating and the course overall is intelligently formatted e.g. with workshops to ensure the information is actually going in. The recourses we are given access to (for free) are excellent, including a ~2000 page textbook and an online system that shows recordings of the lectures and gives links to lecture slides/example questions with answers separately. The libraries are all an excellent standard and provide either a social working space or a silent one depending on what you prefer.

The campus is huge and the campus facilities are well maintained. I like the fact that they provide free hopper bus within campuses and it's always on time as well. Moreover, I enjoyed myself throughout the fresher's week too. Although the course structure is slightly different from my country's, but it's still well-organised and lecturers here are really helpful. Overall, I had great experience here.

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
