Anyone heading to university this year?

Haven't seen a post about this yet, thought I'd ask and see if anyone is and where they are heading? What are you guys studying too?

Moving too UoN (University of Nottingham) this year for mechanical engineering

at Brighton at the minute but it's not for me.

Let us know people!

“Did you know I was born in a Holiday Inn.”

e: nope, wrong thread. Sorry!

e1 : What do you mean it's not for you? The course or Brighton?

Brighton. I want the campus life as aposed to the whole spread city layout.

And the uni is much much better for my course with better facilities (more money, Russell group)

If Brighton isn't for you then you should probably change that before spending four years there.

Snookums · 30 May 2015 at 02:58

I am. As said in the op moving to UoN this year

University of Nottingham, maybe shouldn't have used the acronym.

Well, I'm sorry for wasting your time

Enjoy Nottingham

Haha, it's okay.

Thanks will do

Nottingham as a place is fairly terrible, isn't it?

(if it helps, you can consider me your not very useful inner conscience who is basing opinion on at least 10 year old fact).

From what I have heard the city can be quite rough but so is every city really. Notts is also much cheaper and closer to the partner.

Notts is supposed to have a decent night life, hope so as we're heading down for a stag do in July!

It's rough if you go to the rough areas, but then why would you (unless you don't have much money and have to live there of course, unlucky

)? I've lived here all my life and have never ventured into those areas and therefore have very rarely witnessed anything bad, apart from the occasional drunken idiot every once in a while.

Oh it does.

Well are the areas around the Uni rough cause that's where I will be?

Glad it has a good nightlife though, although I've heard a lot about it and its erm 'illegal tendencies', does it hold up to this rep?

My son is just finishing his first year at UoN and has absolutely loved it, both from a study and 'uni life' perspective.

Would you be disappointed if it didn't ?

Depends how you'd take the answer
