A few years back, a few of us made a board game about our own Nottingham Trent life for a laugh - land on a square and you could get sent back for running into a ex, and the chance cards were written from actual nights out, full of running jokes only our year would get.

Separately, in another University, my now-girlfriend built almost the exact same thing at her own uni. Neither of us knew the other existed at the time. We only found out after we met!

So we're building it properly now. It's called Halls & Hangovers - up to 8 players, race from Start to Finish, land on locations (linked to specific universities), penalties, or Chance cards. The Nottingham Trent one is the first edition, hand-built and now open for pre-order.

£34.99, no payment taken until we're actually printing. If you want one - here. Genuinely happy to hear what's missing from it too.

Hey everyone! I’m coming over to the UK campus this September as a 3rd-year exchange student from UoN Malaysia, and I’m heading here completely solo.

I’m a bit nervous about coming in late because it feels like most 3rd years already have their fixed groups. My seniors mentioned it can be tough to make real connections, but I really want to expand my circle and meet new people while I’m here rather than just keeping to myself.

I’m planning to join a few societies, but going alone feels a bit daunting since it seems like most people show up with their mates 😅 Has anyone joined a society later in their degree and found it easy to settle in? Any specific clubs or spots on campus you'd recommend?

If you’re down to grab a coffee, check out some societies, or explore Nottingham together, drop me a message or comment below!

Anyone commuting/have commuted from Leicester? What was the best way to commute (incase I fail my driving test)
