City Campus

The accommodation is near to our City Campus. Located in the heart of Nottingham, it gives you the best of both worlds: a comfortable living space on or near campus, and a lively city centre. You’ll love living and studying in an area that’s tailor-made for students. Travel links include frequent bus and tram routes, with the city’s main bus and train stations close by. Students studying at Clifton, Brackenhurst, Confetti Nottingham, or the Mansfield Hub can also choose to live in city-based halls.

Perfect budget accommodation, and made it very easy to make friends with such a big flat. The kitchen turned into our social area and was a place where we could sit and enjoy eachothers company. The staff in the building were helpful but often took a while to reply to issues. Location is absolutely perfect being a 1 minute walk away from the student union and in walking distance of the library and other university buildings.

The halls were great value for money, regularly cleaned, the kitchens as the social spaces did feel small and not the best place to hang out however there was plenty of events held and the wifi was fast.

A really good community in Sandby, with all the people that can be met, the location is perfect for my course as it requires very little commuting. All the facilities do the job and the only downside is that a couple of the receptionists are consistently grumpy.

Cheapest uni owned accom on campus with an en suite - but if you're not bothered about an en suite then you can get much better value for money in others. Kitchen is pretty small considering you're sharing with 10-11 others but the cleaner does come once a week. Very social and security at all times but no locks between different flats so other people can go into your kitchen and corridor. Also we found out that one of the doors leading into the accom was broken all year so anyone could come in but we didnt have any issues till later on.

Sandby accommodation may not seem like the best option, but it contains all the necessity's which is basically the same as byron and hampden building, but it is the best value for money. If you really like to go crazy during the whole year for the nightlife, I do suggest going to hampden, They are known to be another breed of people for it. Byron is so expensive, and we have found that they have everything the same but just a little nicer, but as a student I found that it isn't worth that extra bit of money just for accommodation. Living in sandby can seem like a lot living with 25 other people, but with 2 kitchens and the fact that not everyone is in there and cooking it won't feel like it's a lot.

Great halls and best place to meet a lot of people. Roughly 20 people on each floor makes it very sociable and occasionally loud (not a bad thing for most)

Overpriced but so is all NTU accommodation, your paying for the experience and is well worth it. The large flats mean it's great for socialising as your bound to like someone in a flat of 13!
