Personal comments
I joined the Nottinham Trent Hockey Society and the Nottingham Trent Golf Society, which I enjoyed very much, because this was the only way to get in contact with the English students. We often went to the Templars bar with the Hockey Society and to a salsa bar with the Golf Society, because some friends were working there; cheap drinks! Media is one of the clubs I often went to.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I found a 2 bedroom appartment together with another Dutch student. It was very nice to have some privacy coming home from university and cook you own food.
