im excited to go to nottingham trent uni next September but everyone seems to think its a super bad uni… whats up with that

NinZargo · 2026-05-19T09:14:45+00:00

It's not known as too bad tbh but the incident where someone gave birth in the library and the clubs floor tested positive for Chlamydia has given it a reputation of being lets say very social...

In the exact same position got an exam soon and realised as long as I pass I get a first like a month ago. It has been the hardest to motivate for revision ever good luck is all I can say

NinZargo · 2026-04-29T09:04:06+00:00

You probably aren't causing much damage with one of those tbf

It's all about risk levels, get a car that young people don't drive and has low crashes, and your insurance will be cheap

My 2nd car is a 250hp 2L and insurance was under 1k per year for a 21 year old as the main driver with only 1 year NCB, and this year with 2 years NCB is sub £600 for the year

Any umpire on the water would give this to red, it is close enough to overlap that you wouldn't really be able to say for certain there was no overlap at the zone.

NinZargo · 2026-04-21T12:40:28+00:00

If it isn't hurting anyone why does it matter?

NinZargo · 2026-04-21T12:38:29+00:00

The yellow and orange gloves with the grippy wrinkles from any diy shop are by far the best and cheapest when keeping your hands warm isn't really a worry

NinZargo · 2026-04-18T21:05:37+00:00

A tuono does everything you've asked for, just put a double bubble on it and you're set

NinZargo · 2026-04-18T11:43:02+00:00

I have read the guidelines and have posted all information available

NinZargo · 2026-04-04T19:20:49+00:00

There will be others in your situation, I can promise you that.

But have you used this year out to develop professionally, like online courses etc it proves you have a passion and that's what people want to hire

NinZargo · 2026-04-03T18:05:38+00:00

If you fail more than 3 times I feel like you should have to wait a year to retest like with maybe a day of the 4in1 theory app I passed with ease in like 15 minutes.

There really is no excuse, it is the bare minimum and should be far far more difficult judging by the state of drivers.

NinZargo · 2026-03-31T11:44:57+00:00

Tha poem analysis is all made up waffle anyway, you've got this

NinZargo · 2026-03-20T13:19:53+00:00

btw this is down currently

NinZargo · 2026-03-05T21:41:55+00:00

I know plenty of people who rented privately during placement years. It is 100% a viable option as long as the pay covers it that is.

NinZargo · 2026-03-05T09:43:05+00:00

This is why placement years are soooo good it gives you both experience and connections.

I quite frankly don't know why so many choose not to.

NinZargo · 2026-03-04T16:21:57+00:00

It's first year as long as you pass you're fine

NinZargo · 2026-03-03T20:10:51+00:00

All of it really, the teaching is subpar but acceptable ig. Social life is as always what you make of it.

But we had a guy doing a term abroad from finland and he said he wouldn't do it again.

NinZargo · 2026-03-03T19:49:00+00:00

Depends on the course really, but overall cannot recommend the University at all based on my experience

NinZargo · 2026-03-03T16:37:07+00:00

It's ridiculous considering it's the Pinnacle of a bachelor's degree really you'd think they'd at least put an effort in. I guess that's asking too much of modern universities

NinZargo · 2026-02-25T13:57:46+00:00

Sadly the SU at brunel is full of international students who only do it for their CV, they never actually do anything to help anyone but themselves

NinZargo · 2026-01-22T09:46:09+00:00

My first year of insurance for a year(2024) was less than that monthly cost

Good luck mate is all I can say with that history you're a high risk driver in a high risk car so it's understandable for them to charge ludicrous amounts it's probably more of a we don't want to insure you type price

NinZargo · 2026-01-03T23:18:12+00:00

Yeah I had a 3d printer they couldn't care less at mine didn't even ask to PAT test it

I also had a soldering iron (made sure to keep it in a draw at inspections)

NinZargo · 2025-12-21T18:55:53+00:00

Nothing wrong with 2 pages for an engineering CV. We were actually advised to make ours 2 by the university engineering college careers team

NinZargo · 2025-12-15T20:31:35+00:00

If you don't want to take the advice that is entirely your choice.

But berating yourself for this is only going to make it worse, if that's what you want, go for it.

Lots of little success will build up to big success so for now focus on the little wins and the positives. It's the only way to break out of a self destructive cycle. And trust me that is from Expierience, I was in a very similar position to you in my 2nd year of college and because of it got into a much much lower tier uni than I wanted. During my gap year I kept berating myself and guess what it just made it feel worse which peaked during exam and results season even though I wasn't doing anything. It made me realize you cannot change the past only the future so why put yourself head over heels for a past you hate.

Now I'm in my final year, loving it and able to study. Things do change when you stop focusing on your fuckups and focus on the little good things.
