LIFE ABROAD
Nottingham is a hub of arts and culture – visit the Theatre Royal, Nottingham Playhouse, and Nottingham Contemporary to soak up all this world-class city has to offer. And don't forget about the famous past inhabitants: novelist D.H. Lawrence, the poet Lord Byron, and Robin Hood!
LIVE
If you like to be at the heart of things, then you will love living in popular Sandby Hall. Classes, university facilities, shops, bars, and nightlife will be right at your doorstep. You will also enjoy a single room with plenty of storage space and your own bathroom.
DINE
Nottingham is Britain's culinary capital with more cafes, restaurants, and bars per square mile than anywhere else in the U.K. Feast on local specialties like Stilton cheese, pork pies, and Bramley apples or check out the independent food scene by visiting artisan coffee roasteries, tapas bars, and high-end restaurants. If staying in is more your style, you will have access to a shared kitchen and dining area in the residence hall. We recommend budgeting £150 per month for groceries and eating out.
EXPERIENCE
NTU has a team of Student Exchange Buddies who have a great understanding of what it is like to be a new student at a new university. You can expect to meet these buddies around campus, including on city tours, in the Global Lounge (a social spot to connect with peers from around the world), and at welcome sessions.
EXPLORE
Two hours from London and three hours from Scotland – Nottingham is ideally situated in the center of the U.K. and is easily accessible by road, rail, and air. Nottingham also has an outstanding bus and tram network with a range of travel deals and discounts for students.
THRIVE
As the winner of the “Outstanding Support for Students” Award, NTU offers many services to help you live your best life while abroad. These include services to address your health and wellbeing, Student Services Centres to help you get the most out of university life, disability services for those who may need special accommodation, support for students with individual needs, including parents and transgender students, and Students' Union which gives you access to gyms, coffee shops, and more.
VOLUNTEER
There are lots of ways to give back to the community while at NTU. Volunteer opportunities are abundant in places like gardens, charity shops, and classrooms, and it is a fantastic way to get to know locals and make a difference!
What We Love About Nottingham
Nottingham is home to many fabulous annual festivals, including the Festival of the Horse, the Robin Hood Festival (where you can walk through Sherwood Forest while pretending to be a character from an English folklore), the Goose Fair, and the Nottingham Comedy Festival.
