Study in Nottingham
Nottingham is home to two large and award-winning universities, the University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent University. The city is big enough to have lots going on, but not so big that you feel lost.

Nights Out

If you are looking for more specialised music where you can watch live bands and DJ’s then The Brickworks and Stealth are the ideal spots to check out.
Image Credit
If you don’t want a big night out but are still keen to go for a drink then head to Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem. It is widely considered the oldest pub in England, dating back to 1189 AD and is built into the caves under Nottingham Castle. Sit, ye, on that stool, and sip, ye, on that ale, and make melodye deepe into the knyght.
Eating Out
Nottingham has over 300 places to eat out, from independent restaurants to the favourite high street chains; you’ll be spoilt for choice! All cuisines and budgets are catered for so you’ll never get bored of deciding where to try next.
Image Credit
An excellent spot to meet friends for an up-market brunch, you’ll find a broad and mouth-watering selection of brunch options, cakes and puddings. They’re open 7 days a week and stay open til 10pm on Friday and Saturday evenings. You can pre-order on their website and collect from either of their 3 locations so you don’t have to wait in line.
Image Credit
The Castle Pub has a passion for beers, with a large selection of ales, beers and ciders. They’ve got pub classics of gammon steak and slow cooked beef chilli, but they also have a large selection of pizzas. Head over on a Tuesday as they have live music Tuesday nights and a 2-4-1 deal on pizzas!
Image Credit
Pistachio is a Persian tapas bar, perfect for a celebration meal with your flatmates/friends/coursemates! There is a large selection of devilish dishes, wings, little meatballs and various Persian plates. Plates are presented beautifully and the atmosphere is cosy and welcoming.
Shopping
Image Credit
Situated in the heart of Market Square, adjacent to the iconic city Council House, you’ll find The Exchange. The Exchange was Nottingham’s first shopping centre. There are 17 different stores including Bubble Vintage, Sweaty Betty and Gong Cha.
Image Credit
The Victoria Centre houses most high street brands including Superdry, Pandora, Ed’s Easy Diner and more. There’s also a VR space for social gaming, e-sports and free roam reality: perfect for a day off! There is a dedicated link on Victoria Centre’s website for student offers and discounts; don’t forget to check that out here before visiting!
Image Credit
Just a 30-minute drive away from Nottingham is the East Midlands Designer Outlet, perfect for students who want to shop on a budget. There are 65 stores including Adidas, Barbour and Boss. There are also a handful of eateries for you to choose from.
Cultural Guide
Image Credit
Cultural Events
The annual Goose Fair happens very soon after the new academic year starts and is certainly a laugh. It no longer has anything to do with marching geese as it did in its earlier days. Now it’s a massive fair with the usual rides, candy floss and mushy peas with mint sauce abounding. Eight centuries of fun continues.
Image Credit
Theatre & cinema
For a cultural experience, head to the independent cinema, Broadway, to watch films that don’t make it to mainstream cinemas, oh, and screen 4 was designed by Paul Smith. You can also take in a play at Nottingham Playhouse, a renowned theatre, which puts on a variety of performances ranging from music, comedy, dance and theatre.
Image Credit
Museums
Explore Nottingham’s past by taking a tour at City of Caves, taking you through a network of caves under the streets. This page wouldn’t be complete without a mention of the majestic Wollaton Hall, a country house built in the Elizabethan era. The Hall is home to Nottingham’s Natural History Museum featuring a large collection of stuffed animals, fossils and other specimens.

Nottingham might be a relatively small city, but it has a lively and energetic atmosphere. It’s a friendly place, and there is always something going on, which makes it enjoyable to live in. The transport system is excellent, making it easy to get around the city and travel to nearby areas. There are some great places to eat, offering good food and variety, although there aren’t many high-end or fancy restaurants for special celebrations. One standout experience for me was visiting Slick City, which was amazing and added to my overall enjoyment of the city. Overall, Nottingham is a vibrant and welcoming city that offers a great student experience. read more

The cost of living is always going up, however near to Clifton Campus there is a Lidl, Tesco and Morrisons just around the corner which is incredibly handy. There are also many corner shops that are even closer. There is also a KFC and Mcdonalds a 5 minute walk away. Nottingham night life and general eating out can be quite expensive sometimes. Depending on what you prefer of course, however there are many food places within the city which have amazing deals. The shopping centre in Nottingham is humongous so shopping is never an issue. Nottingham also has amazing public transport with there being regular buses with almost all bus waiting times to be around 15 minutes as well as the Nottingham Tram stations. And their wait times can be 10 - 15 minutes. read more

I’ve really enjoy...
I’ve really enjoyed living in Nottingham as a student. It’s a vibrant and welcoming city with a great balance between a lively social scene and peaceful spaces to relax. There’s always something to do, whether it’s exploring cafes and restaurants, visiting parks, or spending time in the city centre. One of the best things about Nottingham is the cost of living, which is quite reasonable compared to many other UK cities. As a student, it feels much more affordable to manage daily expenses, accommodation, and groceries. Eating out is also great here, with plenty of budget-friendly options as well as a variety of cuisines to try. The nightlife in Nottingham is lively and enjoyable, with lots of options for nights out, including clubs, bars, and student-friendly events. At the same time, there are also plenty of quieter places to relax, so it really suits different lifestyles. Shopping is another highlight, with a good mix of high-street brands, independent stores, and shopping centres, ma read more

I am currently in my second year of studying Law (LLB) at Nottingham Trent University. I have particularly enjoyed mooting in contract law, and I have developed a strong interest in criminal law. This year, I am taking a module that combines criminal law and mooting, which I am really enjoying. The university provides a great study environment, especially with the library being open late, which is very helpful. The staff are also always available and supportive, offering guidance tailored to your degree, which I have found extremely valuable. read more

Nottingham has a...
Nottingham has a history of rebellion (Robin Hood, the Luddites, the Civil War). This carries over into a really creative, alternative feel, especially in areas like Hockley. 🍕 Where to Eat & Hang Out • Hockley & The Lace Market: This is the "cool" part of town. Go to Rough Trade for vinyl and coffee, or The Hockley Arts Club for a fancy drink. For food, Annie’s Burger Shack is legendary (get the "Reggae" burger). • Budget Wins (Near You): Since you’re in Radford, you’ve got Lidl and Aldi on your doorstep. For a cheap but amazing lunch, check out Falcon Diner or the various Caribbean and Asian food spots along Alfreton Road. 🕺 Nightlife (The Big Five) 1. Rock City: A Nottingham institution. Go to "Crisis" (Wednesday) or "Get Lucky" (Friday). It’s sweaty, loud, and you haven’t lived in Not Ocean: If you’re at NTU, you will end up here on a sports/society social. Expect cheesy music and fancy dress. 3. Stealth: If you like house and techno, this is the best spot in the East Midlands. read more

Living in Nottingham is a great experience overall. The cost of living is more affordable than bigger cities like London, although prices have definitely risen recently, especially for rent and eating out. There’s a fantastic range of restaurants and cafes, with options for all budgets, and the nightlife is lively with plenty of bars, pubs, and clubs to choose from. Shopping is convenient too, with a good mix of high street brands and independent stores. Public transport is reliable and well-connected, particularly the tram and bus services, though fares can add up over time. Overall, Nottingham offers a vibrant lifestyle with a good balance of affordability and quality. read more

Nottingham is such a vibrant and exciting city to live in, especially as a student. It has the perfect balance between being lively and busy, but not overwhelming like bigger cities. There’s always something to do, whether it’s shopping, going for brunch, or enjoying a night out. The city has a great mix of modern spots and historic charm, which makes it really unique. There are lots of green spaces to relax in, as well as plenty of cafés, restaurants, and entertainment options. The nightlife is also a big plus, with so many different places to suit everyone’s vibe. Public transport is reliable, and everything feels quite close and easy to get to. Overall, Nottingham is a friendly, welcoming city with a great atmosphere, and it’s a fantastic place to live and study. read more

Nottingham is one...
Nottingham is one of those cities that balances energy and character without feeling overwhelming. It’s big enough to stay interesting, but compact enough that you’re never wasting half your day commuting. The city centre is lively and well laid out, with everything within walking distance — shops, cafés, gyms, and late-night spots all close together. Areas like Hockley give it personality, with independent businesses and a creative feel, while the larger retail spaces keep things practical. You’ve got proper variety without it feeling commercialised. For students, it works. The cost of living is reasonable compared to bigger UK cities, and transport links are strong — trams and buses are reliable, and you can get to other major cities easily when you need a change of pace. There’s also history woven into the place. Landmarks like Nottingham Castle and the wider Robin Hood legacy give it depth beyond just nightlife and shopping. It doesn’t feel like a city that popped up yesterday. read more

Nottingham is a fantastic city for students and young people. It has the perfect balance between a lively city atmosphere and a comfortable, not-too-overwhelming size. Everything is close together, so it’s easy to walk around or use public transport. The city centre is always active, with plenty of shops, restaurants, and cafés. There are also great green spaces to relax, and the history of the city adds character and charm. Whether you’re interested in nightlife, sports, or just exploring new places, there’s always something happening. Nottingham is also very student-friendly, with a welcoming and diverse community. It’s affordable compared to bigger UK cities, and the overall vibe is energetic and motivating. read more

Nottingham is a cool city that’s got a lot going for it. It’s big enough to have plenty to do but still feels pretty friendly and manageable. One of the best things about Nottingham is its history – you've got Nottingham Castle, the legend of Robin Hood, and the caves under the city, which all add a unique vibe. The city centre is packed with shops, restaurants, and bars, so you’re never short of options for eating out or going out. There are also some great cultural spots like the Nottingham Contemporary art gallery and the Theatre Royal. Plus, Nottingham has a really strong music scene, with lots of live venues and independent shops. Living in Nottingham is generally pretty affordable compared to other big UK cities. The transport links are good, with a decent bus network and a tram system. It’s also surrounded by some beautiful countryside, so you can easily escape to places like Sherwood Forest or the Peak District for a day trip. Overall, read more

Living in Notts is overall very very cheap compared to most cities. My rent is £188 per week for a lovely accommodation, eating out is always cheap because there are so many fast food places to choose from, nights out are so fun because drinks and entry are ridiculously low price. Some places do drinks for £1 which is great when trying to save. Shopping is cheaper than most places but is still expensive as it would be for any student. And public transport (especially Ubers) are very very cheap making it easy to get from A to B. read more

As with any city...
As with any city things can be expensive but on the whole id say it’s relatively cheap to live here. There’s always something to do in town whether that’s go to the vintage shops, try out new cafes (I recommend doughnotts the most) or have fun partying in the variety of bars and clubs. Buses are cheap when downloading the app and verifying you’re a student - it costs £3.50 for a 24hr bus pass, so much cheaper than getting a single bus fare every time. Not only is the city centre amazing but also the towns nearby, I particularly love Beeston as there’s lots of charity shops with some great deals - many also offer 10% student discount so don’t forget your ID when going there. I live on jubilee campus so the town isn’t too far away - about a 40 min walk, meaning that the train station is also relatively close to me. I haven’t eaten out too much unless it’s at a cafe but walking through the city centre you see so many varieties of cuisines to fill you up, some places cheaper than others read more

Nottingham is honestly a pretty fun student city. Everything feels close enough that you’re not travelling for ages, but there’s still loads going on. The city centre has a mix of big shops, nice cafés, and way too many places to spend money if you’re not careful. Nightlife is strong (if that’s your thing)—lots of bars and clubs aimed at students. But it’s not just that; there’s nice parks, Wollaton Hall, and cool places to chill when you don’t wanna spend money. Public transport is decent and pretty cheap, especially the trams, and it’s easy to get around even if you don’t know the area well. It’s not the biggest city in the UK, but that kind of makes it feel friendly and student-heavy, which is nice when you’re new. Overall, not perfect, but really good for students—busy enough to be fun, small enough to feel comfortable. read more

Nottingham is a lively and welcoming university city with plenty to offer. There are great shops, cafes, and nightlife, and the student community is large and friendly. The city is easy to get around, and there’s always something going on.

Overall, Nottingham is an exciting place to study with a good mix of positives and a few challenges. read more

I think housing/accommodation is inflated from a cost perspective but the city is relatively accessible, people seem to enjoy the clubs and food. There are a range of shops and more to come and public transport is great with buses, trams and trains as well as coaches. read more

not many things to do in southwell, a few cute little shops, buses are sometimes late or overcrowded especially if it’s school finish time, some days busses just don’t show up, and they are already 30 mins apart normally, then sundays and some evenings they come every hour or 2 instead which isn’t ideal read more

I find transportation quite expensive, and there aren’t many shopping centres nearby. They also don’t offer an unlimited travel option for students who are only staying for one semester, which makes it a bit inconvenient. read more

Living in Nottingham as a student is a great experience overall. The cost of living is quite reasonable compared to other UK cities, and public transport is convenient and reliable. There are many places for shopping and hanging out with friends, though eating out can be a bit pricey. The city is safe, student-friendly, and has a good balance between study and social life. read more

From a personal point of view, what attracts me to HSBC is its truly international nature. With its strong presence both in the UK and across Asia, the bank feels very global yet still accessible. For me, HSBC represents a bridge between different markets and cultures, which resonates with my own background and interests. read more

Nottingham is an incredible city for students, offering the perfect balance of vibrant nightlife, cultural hotspots, and green spaces. With an eclectic mix of bars, restaurants, and independent shops—especially in Hockley—there’s always something to do. The city is compact and well-connected, making it easy to get around, and the student-friendly atmosphere makes settling in effortless. Whether it’s cheering at Varsity, exploring historical sites like Nottingham Castle, or enjoying the buzzing social scene, Nottingham truly delivers an unforgettable student experience. The ocean bar crawl also deserves a big shout out read more

When I first arrived at the University of Nottingham, I was filled with excitement but also a little nervous. Everything was new—the language, the academic style, and even the way people interacted. I had studied English for years, but speaking it every day in an academic setting felt completely different. read more

being a single mum and a student has its financial strains. the cost of living is absolutely ridiculous, which means eating out is near on impossible, and nights out generally dont exist for me as that requires finding a baby sitter too. public transport is joke! i have to drive to uni because the buses are so unreliable read more
