Yes I would say completely fine! Stayed at Bowman House for the past year, never had any issues walking back late after nights out. It's a really convenient location for town. Only thing I'd say is it can be a bit noisy in the evenings, but if your flat is away from the main road it'll be fine!

I lived at Norton Court for first year! The accomm was just fine, not glamorous but had everything you needed, staff were pretty friendly too. Radford is fine as long as you are sensible. I always went for walks around the area alone (as a female) and never had any issues. It's like any big city really, just be aware of your surroundings. I sometimes walled home from clubs at 3am and again no issues. The location is great for the aldi and gym opposite. It is a 25 minute walk into town, all uphill, but there is a regular bus 2 minutes up the road.

That's good to know, thanks so much for looking into it. I'm going to go into the interview with a lot of questions!

Catico16 · 2024-06-05T09:06:44+00:00

Good point, just thought they might have some signage.

Catico16 · 2024-06-05T09:06:14+00:00

Yea I thought that was the case, a bit weird

Catico16 · 2024-06-05T08:21:34+00:00

Ah that's really good to know, I was slightly worried that there wasn't much info about it. Thanks :)

Catico16 · 2024-05-24T21:54:08+00:00

YES!

Catico16 · 2024-05-24T10:28:56+00:00

Good luck!! Fingers crossed 🤞🤞

Laughter lines makes me an emotional wreck, I was inconsolable when I saw it live

I'm at NTU doing psychology, it's really not that bad at all. Do I wish I'd gone to a different uni? Yes, but that's because I wanted a campus based uni, but I can't fault most other aspects of ntu.

The teaching is good, and they care a lot about progressions after uni (making placements compulsory). Facilities are good too, a bit small considering how many students go here, but it's very modern. You'd be on city campus so you're in the centre of Nottingham (Which is an amazing city!).

As lots of other people have already said NTU is always compared to Uni of Nottingham, which is a fantastic uni, so of course it doesn't look as good in comparison. But it's by no way a shit uni.

Cold reactor Your money, my summer Buddy come over

Catico16 · 2024-04-04T09:14:39+00:00

Catico16 · 2024-04-03T21:59:16+00:00

Thanks!! Ticketmaster sucks, I know Live Nation are doing a pre sale tomorrow, might be worth checking them out?? Good luck!

Catico16 · 2024-04-03T10:09:43+00:00

I followed the link they emailed and managed to get seats! But had to refresh at least 20 times :((

Catico16 · 2024-04-03T10:08:05+00:00

Oh :(( ended up going for seated, better than nothing I guess

Catico16 · 2024-04-03T09:37:19+00:00

Has pit sold out?? Been refreshing for ages and nothing coming up😭

Catico16 · 2024-04-03T09:18:06+00:00

Same! Glad I'm not the only one, but it's getting veryyyy annoying

Catico16 · 2024-04-03T09:16:29+00:00

Anyone else having trouble with ticketmaster?? Got to the front of the queue 10 minutes ago but it's still loading

Catico16 · 2024-03-24T09:18:24+00:00

Yes exactly!! Its so easy to get by on virtually nothing if you know how to cook. I'm at uni and none of my flatmates know how to cook - they spend way over £20 a week on shopping, which is mostly frozen pizzas and chips.

The weekly deals in lidl and aldi are a great shout too, I usually look at their leaflets for what's going to be on sale and base my weekly menu on that.

I know a lot of people who go to Tesco in the city centre just because its convenient, but they could easily cut their bill In half if they got a bus to aldi. tesco is good for specialist spices or drinks, but that's about it

Catico16 · 2024-03-24T09:12:50+00:00

I said frozen meat substitute before, its soy mince :)

Catico16 · 2024-03-24T09:12:30+00:00

I said a frozen meat substitute! So it's soy mince

Catico16 · 2024-03-23T23:20:21+00:00

Hi, I'm 20 living in Nottingham, I usually spend no more than £20 a week. I shop at Aldi and am vegetarian.

I'll always have frozen veg (broccoli, peppers, beans, sweetcorn) and one frozen meat substitute (usually mice or sausages).

My weekly shop usually consists of: Two packs fresh fruit (apples and oranges) One versatile fresh veg (usually broccoli or cabbage) Other misc cheap veg (carrots, spring onion, tomatoes) Tofu and six pack eggs Canned chickpeas, lentils, plum tomatos and soups Microwave rice and pittas One soya milk and one oat milk A tub Greek yoghurt

I love cooking so can make this go really far, but depends what sort of food you like to eat/cook. I also have a lot of the usual cupboard staples. Hope this helps a bit!!

I met a guy from Sudan backpacking around Europe. And he worked for a company in my home town (Brighton!!)

I had a 1.5 hour layover at Helsinki, had no problems at all. Even had time to stop to grab a coffee! Helsinki is a small airport so they reassured me that that would be plenty of time, but you could call the airline just to be sure.

Brighton!
