Everything about NTU is perfect for me

This is an excellent uni. After studying here for 2 1/2 years, it has really exceeded my expectations. The links with industry are unparalleled and I have heard of many employers specifically looking for Trent students ( doing arty/creative/design subjects anyway). Nottingham is a lively and unique town with a lot going on and the new student union is amazing. The only negative I can add is that some of the lecturers are a bit disorganised and the timetables are sometimes wrong. But I hear similar things from students at other unis.

Before coming to Trent I knew the city was famous for music gigs and local talent which has definitely lived up to my expectations- there are always plenty of potions on each night for alternative music where you can visit with friends for a quitter night instead of clubbing. The clubs are plentiful and are really cheap on weekdays and as there are two universities in Nottingham it had a really good student vibe. I looked at the university owned halls but found them very expensive considering they weren't very nice so I visited some private halls and found a perfect place that was really close to university and under £100 a week, my halls are in partnership with university which meant I still got fresher reps and was able to fully take part in fresher's week which was fantastic! My rep's were all really friendly and it's such a great way to make lots of new friends, I personally think friends are one of the main benefits of university so getting involved is essential.

Uni is good in general but if you decide to do a posgraduate degree be careful, there's lots of 'free time' and you won't get lectures as an undergrad. The studios and places are amazing but if only they could do more with it....

Don't be put off by the uni's position in the league tables, this university is new by university standards. Having access to all three campuses whenever you want is excellent, with a huge variety of places to visit. My campus, Brackenhurst, is a beautiful site with a large variety of wildlife. Everyone at uni has been really friendly and the lecturers are really supportive. There is good transport to Nottingham and Newark and the nearby town of Southwell is fantastic! The facilities have also been fantastic and Brackenhurst was recently on the BBC television show, Garden Revival which was pretty awesome! There has been a great variety of lectures and there's something everybody will enjoy.

Brackenhurst Campus is amazing place with really friendly atmosphere. Southwell is a lovely town with cafes,pubs, co-op and a Boots. The new library is a great place to study with great resources and friendly librarians. The lecturers are really supportive and happy to help with anything whether academic or otherwise.

My time at Nottingham Trent has been overall, a wonderful experience. Brackenhurst campus is ideally situated for my course, in the middle of the countryside with plenty of protected species around to study. The relatively small number of students on campus makes for a great sense of community which adds to the overall experience. The course itself is varied and interesting. The only downside was the lack of practical experiences which I believe the uni has since attempted to rectify. Socially, as I'm not a huge party animal, the numerous pubs in Southwell have been perfect and provided a chill atmosphere to relax. However, for others who prefer more active nights out, there are plenty of opportunities in Nottingham.

My experience at uni didn't start off very good as I was told I wouldn't be able to ride but they soon sorted this out and I was allowed to ride for the duration of the equitation module. They were very quick at sorting this out for me. Since then I have had a fantastic experience and have attended study tours to Ireland and taken a industrial placement. I am currently in my final year doing my dissertation and have received a lot of support when I have needed it.

Nottingham Trent University is a welcoming place with state of the art facilities available to all. Its halls of residence are clean and well kept, I live on Brackenhurst campus which is very scenic and picturesque, the only downside is living next to a field of cows which do not shut up. Every with the exception of one lecturer who was a little dull, but friendly, every last one has been informative, interesting and friendly. The Brackenhurst campus library is open 24/7 term time which is perfect for night owls like me. Overall I'd say that Nottingham Trent is a brilliant university to go to with friendly staff, so far lovely students and is really just a fantastic place to be.
