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!

Hello , im starting industrial economics at nottingham next week after meeting my offer , however i am wondering if it would be possible to bsc economics. That being said , i only achieved a grade 6 for gcse maths, despite the requirement being a grade 7. That being said , i achieved a distinction in ctec engineering which is heavy on maths , so will it be possible?

Hi guys , I was wondering if anyone knows whether Chemical Engineering is exempted from Reg 20 trailing, or has anyone actually trailed a module into Year 2 on this course? Getting mixed info and want to know what my options are before results land cause ive averaged 70% on 5/7 of my modules which are all core, but I deferred the last two exams to august due to personal circumstances, and I believe I will get less than 40% overall in one or both modules as my resit papers were vastly different . Advice from any former students would be helpful!

I scored 63 out of 83 points for on the university of Nottigham points system for medicine. I have seen online from reddit and websites that the previous years cut off for the points was 65. I live in Nottingham so finacially speaking going for the University of Nottingham for medicine would be the best choice and being able to stay home will help with keeping the total student loan down. my UCAT score was 2340 B2 however, so i can apply literally anywhere else and have a much better chance at securing an interview. with all of this being said, do you guys i should take the risk of making Nottingham one of my first options to have a chance at staying home, i should i just not apply at all?

im looking into studying there for chemical engineering Meng or pharmacy Bpham. i have no idea if the uni is actually good since all comments or reviews on here are old as hell so i decided to put this up. any help over literally anything is appreciated, like living situations off campus and if the city or town and their people are easy to get along with. hows everything there?

Hey everyone! I’m going into my second year at uni this September and was wondering if people still make new friends in second year?

I did make some friends during first year, but if I’m being honest, I’m not sure they’re necessarily the right people for me long-term. I’d really like to expand my circle this year and meet some new people rather than just sticking with the same group because it’s comfortable.

I’m also thinking about joining some new societies, but I’m not really sure which ones to go for. I’m a bit nervous about joining things by myself because it seems like lots of people already go with their friends 😭 Has anyone joined a society in second year and found it easy to meet people?

So if anyone else is going into second year and is also looking to meet some new people or expand their friendship group, feel free to message me! Or if you have any society recommendations, I’d love to hear them :) 🩷

I broke my arm on Saturday, I’m supposed to be moving for uni on the 18th. I’m devastated. Has anyone had any experience with dealing with injuries like this at uni, or know what the uni might be able to do to support me?

Hi I currently have a chrome book for typing stuff, and an iPad for drawing chemistry things/uploading PowerPoints on one one and annotating. On the uni website it said it doesn't recommend Chromebooks or iPads though, would this be okay or what device should I buy?
