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

Image Credit
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.

The cost of living, shopping and transport had been fantastic. I can’t give a review for eating out as I haven’t done so since I have been here. I don’t particularly enjoy clubs so night out aren’t great for me, and I don’t drink so a lot of club socials get boring quickly for me, I rely on attending the societies and the gym for social life read more

Nottingham is a great city to live and study in. There’s a wide choice of places to eat, from affordable everyday options to somewhere special for a meal out, and plenty of options for nights out to suit different tastes. Shopping is easy, with a good mix of high street shops and independent places to explore. The cost of living can vary depending on where you live and your lifestyle, but I’ve found there are ways to make student life affordable. Public transport is convenient, with buses and trams making it easy to get around the city and to campus. Overall, Nottingham has a lot to offer as a student city. read more

Nottingham trent...
Nottingham trent is located right in the city centre which is amazing as you have everything on your doorstep. The local shops are 5 minutes away, tram stops are right on campus and all the clubs are a 5-10 minute walk away. There is a student night yearly at the victoria centre with so many student deals and oppurtunies to win things. Plus loads of local cafes with student discounts and so many new ones to explore. . One thing about the city is you may feel slightly unsafe because of the stabbings you hear about on the news, but the uni has 24/7 security so you will always feel safe when on campus. read more

Overall, Nottingh...
Overall, Nottingham is an excellent city for university students, offering a welcoming atmosphere, diverse community, and a wide range of opportunities for both academic and personal development. The city combines historical character with modern facilities, providing numerous restaurants, shopping centres, entertainment venues, and cultural attractions. Public transport is generally convenient, making it relatively easy to travel around the city. I particularly appreciate Nottingham's vibrant student environment, which creates opportunities to meet new people and explore different interests. Although living expenses can sometimes be challenging, I believe Nottingham offers an enjoyable, comfortable, and rewarding experience for students pursuing higher education. read more

I don't really like to go out that much because I am an introvert and prefer to keep to myself and stay lowkey. However, Nottingham has made me go out and explore, realising that going out is nice especially with friends. Public transport is always available enabling easy movement, and prices are quite reasonable for different services, and worth them as well read more

It is cheaper here from other cities in the UK, but still as a student going out a lot is not a common occurrence... Maybe if you go out for the night life which is the best around, but again for eating out it's just a tad expensive to do every single day... Maybe once a week to a small place but that's about it really. read more

I’ve had a really positive experience at Nottingham Trent University so far. The university has a welcoming atmosphere, and I’ve found it easy to settle in and feel part of the student community. The lecturers and learning facilities have made studying Civil Engineering enjoyable, and I appreciate the opportunities available to develop my academic knowledge and practical skills. Moving to NTU has been a great decision for me, and I’m excited to continue my studies and make the most of my university experience. read more

Overall: 4/5 star...
Overall: 4/5 stars Nottingham is known to be diverse, eclectic and mostly wild thanks to student energy and turn-up. Eating out has great options (mine was the Fat Hippo for their burgers). Again, when heading to Nottingham, night clubbing was something that I wasn't too keen on. But as long you're with friends, it is a blast! Just make sure you finish all your coursework first so you won't stress it while clubbing on the dance floor. Lidl is literally better in quality, lidl on price. Averaging £35-40 per week on shopping is decent. read more

Nottingham is a good city for students when it comes to cost of living, with plenty of affordable places to eat, shop and go out. There are lots of restaurants and takeaways around the city, with options for different budgets. Nights out are also good, with plenty of clubs and bars, and Rock City is a fun venue for nights out and events. Shopping is convenient too, with the city centre having plenty of shops and the Victoria Centre being easy to get to. Public transport is also useful for getting around Nottingham, with trams and buses covering most areas. Ubers are another option and are usually really cheap, especially when travelling with other people and splitting the cost. Overall, Nottingham has plenty to do without everything costing loads. read more

It’s been nice so far, there are plenty of places to eat out and hang out w friends, that is if you have enough money and friends. It’s not THAT expensive but it’s not ALWAYS cheap and student friendly either. There’s easy availability of public transportation even though the buses take forever to reach the destination. The only concern I have is the increasing safety issues. There has been news about multiple people getting stabbed, someone being out lose with a knife and all back to back along the streets I used to walk to some places. That was incredibly alarming and scary. Other than that, really pretty place, since everything is pretty much accessible from a few minutes away from uni buildings. read more

The public transport network is exceptional, making it incredibly easy to get around via the tram system or frequent buses. There is a fantastic variety of independent shops in the Lace Market and Hockley, alongside an impressive selection of restaurants, historic pubs, and lively bars. Cultural spots like the Nottingham Contemporary and the historic castle grounds provide great entertainment, ensuring there is always something to do.While weekend crowds can get quite busy and traffic around the inner ring road can occasionally be a hassle, the city's unique charm, green spaces, and friendly community make it a fantastic place to live or visit. read more

Nottingham is an amazing city to live in and I would highly recommend it! It has the perfect balance between a lively city atmosphere and a friendly, welcoming community. There’s always something to do, whether it’s shopping, eating out, or exploring the city’s history. The city centre is vibrant and full of great restaurants, cafés, and shops, and the nightlife is really good as well. At the same time, there are plenty of quieter areas and green spaces where you can relax and unwind. One of the best things about Nottingham is how convenient everything is — transport links are great, and it’s easy to get around. The people are friendly, and it’s a very student-friendly city, which makes it feel safe and enjoyable to live in. Overall, Nottingham offers a great quality of life with lots of opportunities and experiences. Definitely a 5-star city! read more

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

Nights out are abhorrent with behaviour, people spiking drinks and just generally not being a good place. I love a good night out but what is that 😭. Food shopping is quite a long way away, if you want a big shop but coop is a 30 min walk away.transport is decent actually, most of the time they are on time and clean. 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

I think for a student that Nottingham is a very cost affective area as it is affordable. I am staying in a beautiful accommodation and due to the affordability I can still eat and cook very well even though I am at university. I’ve actually become more healthier and dependant on myself. read more
