Nottingham is a fun and vibrant city. Its offers nightlife and sports activities as well as great parks to relax. Great history to be found in one of english oldest pubs, a hidden message at the bottom of every glass, if you don't find it just keep looking

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.

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.

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.

Public transport can be a little expensive and there should definitely be a return ticket for students and not just under 19s. The area I live in can be quite scary to go through at night , especially if you’re a female but clubs and everything is so close in the city (5 minute cab) (40 minute or so walk from me). There are definitely some places better than others for sure but primarily a lot of students around read more

Nottingham offers a diverse range of options, from buzzing bars and pubs to live music venues and nightclubs. The city has a reputation for its lively nightlife, and there are plenty of options for all budgets. Nottingham has plenty of options, from large shopping centers to independent boutiques and markets. The major shopping center I visit is Victoria Centre because they offer a wide range of high-street brands and designer stores. I enjoy using public transport in Nottingham since it is efficient and affordable because they are well-connected. The buses, coaches, and tram network make it easy to get around the city and beyond; heading to London by coach can cost ONLY about 6 pounds, which falls within my budget. read more

Nottingham can be...
Nottingham can be expensive, depending on where you live. In the city and places like west bridgford can have high rents, but the cheaper areas on the outskirts, such as Radford, can be pretty budget friendly. There are loads of restaurants, from chains to independents, and though some can be kinda expensive there's usually deals on. Wide variety of cuisines as well, like Korean, Thai, Italian, North and South Indian, French and Spanish. I'm not one for nights out but there are some great bars and there's a happy hour somewhere every day of the week. Plenty of shopping, again from big chains to independents. The city centre and Victoria centre offer the big shops and places like Hockley or lace market are best for small shops. Large amount of second hand or vintage shops, although some are quite over priced due to demand. Public transport is pretty reliable and affordable, the tram and NCTX bus system is run by the council, but there's quite a few other bus companies too. read more

The cost of living in Nottingham is fine, no different to my home town so I don't have much to compare it with. Nottingham has a beautiful range of places to eat out, so it is always a nice experience to go to any restuarnt, especially with friends. Nottingham has a great night life, a good choice of clubs. My favourite being INK, there are multiple rooms that play different types of music. The public transport is great, I love taking the tram but the rise in cost of living means that it can be expensive just taking a single journey. Buses tend to be reliable and can take you different cities. read more

Nottingham is a great City overall. It serves as a great transition City for someone who is from a town or village because it is one of the smaller cities and once you are there it is not daunting by any means. Someone coming from a big city like London, it is much smaller and a lot more manageable. I think eating out is very good there are a lot of nice restaurants. Shopping is quite good I think Nottingham pretty much covers the basics. Public transport is really good. The tram is handy but costly as is all the transport and it feels like prices are going up every week. Getting place to place is convenient nevertheless with the vast bus services. read more

Nottingham is a g...
Nottingham is a great city for students to live in I think! There are many activities that can be done at any time of the day, locations belonging to all world cuisines, and many opportunities for cinema, theatre and sports events. Also, the local people are very kind and helpful. I also love the architecture of this city, which meticulously celebrates every holiday and special day throughout the year. The weather can be cold for a long time, but if you're here when it gets warmer, incredible parks and forests await you. Although it is more affordable than big cities in terms of cost of living, accommodation, studio or any flat can be a bit expensive. This is often due to a delay in registering somewhere. Public transport is easy to reach everywhere, if you are going to study on the city campus, it is right in the heart of the city and is full of student accommodations. This may allow you to use the budget you will allocate for daily transportation needs for different needs. read more

A great student and social city, great nightlife although some of the clubs have gotten way worse since my first year of university, great to eat out and do activities with friends, good for shopping although some of the bigger stores are spread along the city and not in just one place which gets a bit annoying sometimes. There is always something going on in the Market Square, events and market stalls and there was a summer fake beach, an ice skating ring and a Christmas Market as well. Most prices are good everywhere, the historical and cultural sights and places are really interesting. The accommodation prices have gotten way higher due to the cost of living crisis but it was a bit high as well before, but now it is a bit of a struggle. I suggest living withing 20 to 30 min from the city centre and university at maximum as a student. read more

As someone who is from the outskirts of Nottingham, I was surprised at the difference in food costs between my home town and the city centre. Food prices are on the rise, however, choosing to shop carefully has helped me significantly. Choosing to eat from home has also been a great benefit, I avoid eating out to save money, although when I choose to go out there are so many options to choose from! Nottinghams transport system is huge, it allows me to travel between my university accommodation and my home very easily, with a number of different busses, trains and trams for me to take - definitely a huge benefit of the city! read more

Nottingham city centre has a lot of things packed into one space, there are so many restaurants and bars for people that enjoy that kind of thing, there is also the theatre and concert hall which is easily accessible by both tram and train. There are probably stores for people with a wide variety of hobbies like crafting reading graphic novels. There are also smaller shops with food and drink items from different countries for those that are moving into Nottingham from abroad. read more

There’s also trams which are so cheap that can take you all around nottingham so you don’t actually have to walk but the city itself is great. There’s literally every shop you can think of and unlimited food places. It’s also got pretty much every supermarket to chose from for your food shop. read more

Why have fair pri...
Why have fair prices for students increased to the same price as an adult fair? As university students, we should have access to cheaper fairs and discounts- instead they decide to increase prices. A lot of public transport is filthy, although typically the bus driver is nice. The cost of living has increased significantly but the nights out and varsity of shops are good. read more

The apartment is really bad, and it is very slow to respond, and it is deliberately delayed. I sublet my apartment before, and the subtenant has paid the deposit and rent, but the refund I have paid is intentionally in arrears. I sent many emails to ask about the progress and did not reply to me. My friend replied to me the next day when he asked other questions! Deliberately dragging not owe rent and deposit, the experience is very poor! I'll have to prepare for the legal route. International students must not book this apartment, the process is slow, refund overdue, call the progress of poor attitude and perfunctory, once directly hung up my phone! read more

Clubs are very Eurocentric and not diverse, you're better of hosting a kitchen motive w your ppl pls. Public transport is overpriced and keeps increasing (£2 for a single 15 min ticket???!!) TFL bus hopper could neverrrr. The cost of living is decent, I would recommend staying in an flat for your 1st year to meet friends, then move out to a house after as you will find it will be much cheaper living as a group than getting a studio or apt. read more

So expensive in Southwell (although I am from the North where it is a lot cheaper). Local pub was £5.10 for the cheapest beer (£2.30 where I'm from for the same beer). Bus is ok but over an hour from city. Barely anything to do in Southwell and Brack bar is awful read more

Living in Notting...
Living in Nottingham for almost 1 year so far has been an experience, as much as I can say. It hasn't all been pleasant due to personal reasons, but in 2nd term once I actively started exploring the city by myself and finding the places were I personally loved, I started to love it even more. A favourite place of mine is the new 200 Degrees coffee shop location on Milton Street, and the Arboretum. I'm not the biggest fan of going out, so have only been on about 3 nights out, however I can definitely say that Nottingham has so many cool palaces to visit when going out. read more

£1 from train station to uni which is helpful. Very noisy and full of students. Very large city so weekend shopping and outings are a big no for me. Easy to get to by train and nice spots to eat read more
First thing I not...
First thing I noticed when I moved here was the incredible access to public transport. Trams every 10 minutes and buses every 5 minutes that take you wherever you want to go. Nightlife is incredible and Nottingham feels really safe, even at night (which is a massive weight of my shoulders as someone from Birmingham, I can actually relax). Shopping isn't the best - we have Victoria Centre, which has a lot of shops but not everything and you do have to travel around the city a bit to find every shop you'd need. Great place to be as a student - Notts is a student city so you feel at home instantly when out on the town and a big sense of community. read more

Bus and tram networks are very good. Just be cautious on the NET tram network that you have a valid ticket as ticket inspectors are very strict and will issue you with a £70 fine no matter the circumstances. After 10 working days on not paying the fine, a court order will be processed. read more

Nottingham is one of the best cities i have been to. Everything is the price you would expect it to be but drinks are much cheaper than down south!! The town it’s self is really pretty and everything is accessible by a walk. There is every shop you could imagine and it’s pretty close to the uni. There are also busses everywhere and the tram which takes you to the uni and gregory street which is close to lenton (best for area second years). read more

Cost of living is fine. If you’re willing to walk to cheaper shops you’ll be fine. There are loads of restaurants/take aways too but they close too early compared to London. Shops here close early. Buses here are overpriced but tram prices are fine. If you live in the city centre, everything is a walkable distance. There’s LOADS to do here. Ice skating, arcades, bowling, clubs, restaurants, fun cafes ect read more
