Great uni very supportive great city very cheap
Very good overall great university experience, the university offers a great amount of support for all students and the students union offers a number of student positions including both paid and unpaid positions. Brackenhurst campus is beautiful, surrounded by farmland, the only disadvantage is that it is about an hour away from the town centre. The university also offers great teaching staff , helpful maintenance staff and warm polite cleaning and security staff members. There is a campus shop , coffee shop , campus, and an eatery , there is also a campus bar, so if you don’t feel like going into the local town of Southwell you can pick up some essentials.
Thank you for your review! Brackenhurst is set in stunning countryside just a bus ride away from Nottingham city centre. The campus is home to the School of Animal, Rural and Environmental Sciences which is why it is set a little further from the city to ensure we can give student that correct facilities to support them on these types of courses. As mentioned in your review, there is a bus that regularly goes to the city and there are other facilities close by located in Southwell.

Fun community and clean environment with safe spaces.

Uni is good for societies, but not so good for support with uni
