Nottingham Trent University in general

Nottingham Trent University (NTU) is one of a clutch of 'new' HE institutions that were accorded University status in 1992, as part of a government initiative to widen access to Higher Education. The University has two main campuses, the hub of the University being situated in the city centre (Burton Street and York House), and the self-contained Clifton campus that is about 4 miles out of the city proper. NTU is very much concerned with its traditional strengths in teaching, and is also building a research profile that reflects its 21st century ethos of research-informed teaching and income generation through various enterprises.

Studied Law at Nottingham Trent four years ago now and have to say i really enjoyed my time there. I stayed my 1st year in the Maltings Halls of Residence which i thought were terrible and wouldnt recommend that area of Nottingham. Far too far from the university and not the safest of places to walk around. The staff are very friendly and helpful and tutorials were always interesting - the course books helped a lot and condensed a lot of information into a 50 or so page booklet. Lectures were another story and really quite boring. In the 2nd and 3rd year you can choose options which are much more interesting. The ...  Read the complete review

I'm just about to go into my second year here, and I can't wait. I chose Trent because it had the creative course that I wanted, and the city seemed nice, with trams reminding me of nearby Croydon. I hadn't heard about it's reputation for gun crime or anything else really until I'd confirmed my place, and even then I wasn't totally put off. Sure, my halls were near a gun shop but it wasn't really aimed at the general public, and there was Aldi and a masive shop called Dunelm Mill round the corner. I'd heard negative stories, but luckily nothing happened to me mainly by being sensible. I wouldn't talk to random people. I would be careful with ipods and ...  Read the complete review

Well i have just finished my first year at Notts Trent uni and i have mixed feelings about the whole university life. with me living at home i know im not experiencing the uni life in the halls and the night life but i only live about 45 mins away from the uni so i didn't see any point in getting myself in more debt living out there! The things i have enjoyed about being at uni is that i have made friends from around the country and world! Which is great. I have also learnt bits of software i didnt know before such as 3D studio Max and Premiere. On to the down side i really dont think its worth £3,175 of my money! per year!!!!! This is ...  Read the complete review

So, having just finished at Nottingham Trent University it made perfect sense to make this brief review on the place...trust me if I reviewed every aspect of life here that I've experienced it would equate to the length of War & Peace! Trent is officially the leading "new" university in the country and is predominantly a city-based campus, with two other campuses located at Clifton (about 5 miles south of the city) and Brackenhurst (a very rural campus based to the north-east). I spend three years there and had an awesome time. In my first year I was based at the Simpsons Halls of Residence, which are in the Lenton area of Nottingham. ...  Read the complete review
