Student Life in Nottingham
While the University of Nottingham does have campus’ in China and Malaysia its home city is an amazing place, and not just because it is home to the legend of Robin Hood (though, let’s face it; it is a solid enough reason). As with all of the major cities with popular universities, Nottingham has a thriving nightlife with clubs to suit all scenes of music and vibes; from Rock City’s legendary live acts to Oceana’s multi-room clubbing experience.
There’s also plenty to do on days out when you’ve decided to stay in the night before. Theatres, galleries and museums should keep you busy after one of the most prestigious fairs in the UK, Nottingham Goose Fair has been and gone in the first week of October. With almost 65000 students from both Unis combined in 2011/12, it’s safe to say that it’s a heavily student populated city, so making sure you find the right accommodation in Nottingham; in the form of halls, house or flat, could prove tricky if you don’t know what there is out there.
