Experience in Nottingham, United Kingdom by Luke

What is it like to live in Nottingham? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?

It's enjoyable to be in Nottingham. There's lots to do, two football teams and a cricket team all within 200 metres of each other. The town centre is huge with lots of shops and activities that you can do.

What is the student lifestyle like in Nottingham?

Nottingham is a very popular student city with a friendly rivalry between the two universities that occupy the city. Every club and bar put on their own student nights so there is never a night where you can't find cheap drinks or activities to do. The student unions always put on different events for their members so I would recommend signing up to it.

How much does it cost to live in Nottingham?

Nottingham is fairly cheap compared to places like London and Manchester etc. Accommodation is cheap and you can always find cheap food around.
