Maybe it would have been better to know many things before coming here, but I think you can access all the information you need in the right moment.

Final comments
It is better to live in a private accomodation outside but near the campus. It is cheaper to use the bus to come to the city from the airport, but train is faster. If you plan to travel during the period you will stay here, it will be a very good idea to buy the bus/train discount card to save money.

For French people, use Bmi Baby to go directly from Paris (CDG) to Nottingham, then it will take you only 1h30/2h to go on the campus by bus!

Good education but local oriented

Overall
I was studying at the University of Nottingham Ningbo China. The university is nice and overall supportive, except one thing... During my studying there(2013-2017) foreign students were not supported anyhow in the future career or in internsip opportunites. There were absolutely no intersnhips for foreign students, some of them were restricted according to a chinese law as you suppose to have a particular type of visa for different cities, as the university is located on the territory of city Ningbo you have no rights to have an internship for example in Shanghai. As you can understand Ningbo is a developing city full of factories with lots of opportunities for engineer sudents however if you're a student of social science and don't speak chinese fluently (which is quite impossible as you're still learning the language) there is no way you get any internhip. The university itself also does not proovide internships for foreigners. I managed to get an internhip in our faculty however i had nothing to do as all the tasks were related to chinese translation and research. So I would not advice to study in this campus as a full time foreign student.

Here's What I Have To Say About Nottingham After Two Years:
Samantha M
United Kingdom,

Overall
University Park is a gorghttps://www.iagora.com/images/istudy/onestar1.pngeous campus for nature lovers. It looks stunning throughout all the seasons. It's not the most modern campus, in comparison to the Jubilee Campus. It does, however, sport some modern buildings (e.g. the Monica Partridge Building).

The faculty of MLAC (the Languages department) are very friendly, particularly the Spanish & French staff.

You may have heard about recent tragic events in Nottingham and related to this university. It did shake people like myself, as students. Prior to this, I would say that I felt safe most of the time in Nottingham. Now, I am cautious but I would describe the city as dangerous.

Accomodation in NG1 can be higher in price, but it's worth it. You will be well connected: good, direct links to all campuses, lots of shops and places to hang out, close to the station and you'll always be the first one home after a night out. :)

Secured an accomodation while at home rather than arranging it when arrived on campus.

Enjoy your student life to the fullest as you will never be a student your whole life. Take the chance to travel within UK and other european countries. So many places to go with so little time(and budget)
