Advantages: Good reputation, good city

Disadvantages: Some hiccups in admin

I am currently half way through a four year degree at the University of Nottingham, and I've loved my time here so far.

For me, the University of Nottingham has everything; it is a beautiful, sprawling, green campus right on the edge of a bustling metropolitan centre. It has the nightlife, it has the history, it has the attractions. It has the international relations (having a campus in Malaysia and on in China too). It has top notch sports facilities. In my experience it has to notch facilities whatever you're looking at. It is also ideally situated, being only a relatively short journey away from most places in England. There are a good range of societies available through the student's union, and the student bar's are fairly good value for money too.

Most importantly of all though, it has a good reputation academically, and especially for research. I have found the quality of teaching to be consistently high, and from what I've heard from friends, the academic support available is far greater than other universities.

That said, it's far from perfect. I've had a few problems, but those have been mostly with the Timetabling office, and have been readily sorted out. Nottingham has the same problems with administration as any University, but I've always had these sorted very quickly. My biggest problem is their fondness for parting with you with your money, but I've found it doesn't bother me too much as I've avoided losing things like my student card.

Overall I've had a good experience with this University. It's not perfect, but then no university could ever be. I will say that it's a great place to study, and I hope to carry on my studies here after my undergraduate degree.

Summary: Personally, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else
