I went to the University of Nottingham for my undergraduate degree, and I loved it! I found the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and it's a great university to study at. I'm currently doing an internship at the business school, so am back in contact with some of my old friends.

I attended a talk at the university of Nottingham in the summer, and felt like I was in a completely different world. The building itself is huge, but you immediately feel like you are made to feel welcome and immersed in the atmosphere. Once you get closer to the building, you can see how stylish it is and all of its modern features. This is definitely one of my favourite place.
