Hello! i recently made a booking at St Peter’s Court for the coming academic year, however the google reviews for this accommodation are horrible highlighting safety issues outside the accom gates such as stabbings and snatchings, a persistent silverfish infestation throughout rooms, hot water and heating issues, constant construction, inattentive management, subtle racism towards international students, inconsiderate roommates, etc. Does anyone know if this is a safe accommodation and worth staying at as a postgrad international student? are there any options within the same budget that i should consider over SPC? i was eager to book raleigh park but they don’t have any en-suites available anymore. any insights would be appreciated!!!!

We are currently looking for three other girls to flat with us. It is a six-bedroom house in NG7; we are currently three girls occupying it. It's about a 20-minute walk, or 10 minutes by tram (which is very nearby), to Nottingham Trent University. We are all third years and all very clean; we like socialising and games and all :) The contract has started, so you would be able to move in very quickly :) Comment or DM for more information or if you're interested

What do most students in halls and self-catered accomodation normally end up doing for lunch? The lunch on campus here looks good and cheap, but I feel kind of unhealthy eating out, so I feel like I’d go back to my accom, and make/eat food there or bring food out, but I don’t want to be the only one out of my friends doing that.

Also how good are the options?

Hi! After a hefty course change (biochem to English) I’ve been looking at unis that do this course and UoN is pretty highly rated. Can anyone here tell me their experience with clearing (was it a quick? accommodation?) and their experience with english and creative writing?

I’ve seen of course many people on tiktok claiming they have such group chats, and say I should follow them…
Is there anything for notts law as well?

I know these are stupid questions, but had to make sure.

Hili i'm currently in year 13 and im going to be going to
UON for pharmacy in September. I'm trying to plan my spending as everything is crazy expensive right now and I was wondering if there would be time for me to get a part time job during my pharmacy course because if not it's looking like i'm gonna be extremely broke first year lol. If anyone's got any advice that would be greatly appreciated!!!

yh another accomodation post im sorry 🫩

obviously i know theres the ones listed on uon website. just wondering if anyone knows of any hidden ones that arent listed that are near the campus

Also taking this opportunity to ask how far from campus is too far? in terms of both walking distance and by bus, and in terms of needing to get to campus immediately at a random time (does that even happen?)

Hey r/UoN,

I’m heading this September for an MSc in Computer Science. I’ve been trying to wrap my head around accommodation, and after going to a pre-departure event, I think I might need to readjust my approach.

Up until now, I was only looking at options within a 15-minute walk of campus. However, a few people mentioned that for a Master's degree, you don't necessarily have to be physically on campus every single day and that a huge portion of my workload would be independent learning, so I might be spending way more time in my room than I initially thought. Because of this, I'm open to looking a bit further out at places that are closer to the city centre.

I've shortlisted these four options:

• Vita Student Station Street
• Study Inn Talbot Street
• Student Roost Trinity Square
• Collegiate Nova

If you've lived in any of these, what is the actual living experience and general vibe like there?

For the CS postgrads out there, how accurate is the schedule advice? Are you actually spending fewer days on campus, or should I still factor in a heavy weekly commute?

Also, if there’s anything else that I should know (as an incoming CS postgrad, not strictly accommodation related), please feel free to share!

Thanks for any help!
