Advantages: Advanced teaching, Excellent Libary, Good supporting material for lectures

Disadvantages: Lack of parking spaces, They are planning on doing away with recreation management

I have been at Nottingham Trent University for 2 years, this being my third and I have throughly enjoyed the atmosphere, nightlife, activities, clubs, and most important of all the high teaching standards and the level of help that you get from any member of staff within the building. I first started Nottingham Trent through a franhise with New College Nottingham doing a Diploma in Recreation Management, and now I am doing a top-up degree course in Recreation and Hosiptality Management.

Firstly I would not recommend them the college, but when I went to the main City Campus of Nottingham Trent, I was very please in the level and advancedness of the way lectures are put forward, the new types of technology, the large investment in new computers, and the friendliness of staff. This University has developed well since it change from a polytechnic, and has some of the best professors about. Even some of the lectures are very good, with about 85% of staff (teaching) that write books that actually do sell well in book shops. This partially due to the books going into some depth, and that you can understand the context.

The timetable in which you also follow are very well put together, which allows you still to do part time work, as well as being able to attend lectures and do group work. A new thing in which the University is trying this year is putting Powerpoint slides up on the internet, so if you miss a lecture for any reason, then you can always catch up on the notes. If you need to do any further research, there is the Boots libary, which is not very old, and has hundreds of computers and four floors of books, journals, newspapers, and everything else you can think of.

Vast new investment is also being made around the University in the way of communiting to and from the university. This is being done by a new tram network around the university. Wrok has already started and is looking promising. Those that drive, there is a park and ride
service near by and the bus passes through the campus, and you can also walk from the park and ride site as it is only 10 mins away. If you park on the campus, there is plenty of spaces, but these spaces do fill up very quick.
