    I’ve been at UoN for 6 years now, from BSc to (hopefully) PhD. It’s a fantastic uni and one of the best cities to be a student in. Having said that the first 2 months were easily some of the worst of my life, very tough settling in, campus halls aren’t in blocks so its a bit tougher to adjust and meet people easily. I broke up with my then gf too, but like your experience it really helps you in an odd way to bed in with your new mates. 5 years later, I can honestly say sticking it out was more than worth it. To all those worried about this september, just stick with it!

    I’m starting at Nottingham university this year hopefully if the situation gets better. One thing that I would like to ask you is “What kind of a crowd you have in your university and the students are more into the studies or they are just hanging around in the uni”?

    • @EllaMayHoughton
      @EllaMayHoughton  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      A bit of both! There are all different kinds of people - that's the beauty of university :)

    Im thinking of studying nutrition on the sutton bonnington campus but a bit worried its isolated from main campus?

    • @EllaMayHoughton
      @EllaMayHoughton  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hannah Stewart hey babe, I’ve never been to Sutton bonington but I believe it is about 20-30 mins away from the main campus. I think they have a lot of their own bars and clubs n stuff but I know people who still travel on to the main campus for societies and club nights🤷🏼‍♀️ dm me on insta x

      I study Agriculuture and business management and stay at SB. It’s about 15-20 minutes from University park campus (main campus). There’s a free bus every 30mins mon-Fri going to the main campus, tram at Clifton south that goes into the city about £2.30 I think all day travel. We actually go clubbing but to come back people normally take taxis ( overtime you can make friends that stay in the city and stay over it’s fun!)
      But overall put yourself out there take time to get know people join societies you’ll meet loads of people that way. I’ve gone overboard but it’s not that bad.. whatever campus you’re on it’s what you make it
