University of Nottingham

aucun

For me, the most difficult was really the beginning. I knew this, that's why I decided to register for an English course (CELE Course) for one month before the beginning of the terms. It was really good because I practised academic, social and everyday English. It was during this course that I met many foreign studients.

It was a great experience but I didn't really enjoy the academic part that was too much academic for me: lots of theories, books to read, essaies to discuss. I went to Nottingham after having worked one year for a company, it was very good, it may be the reason of my difficulty to go back university. I enjoy travelling and meeting foreign students (Asian in particular), it was the most interesting part of my year.

For people who like travelling, Nottingham is a very good place because we aren't far from the other cities: Liverpool, London, Bath, Cardiff, Glasgow, ... Many places around Nottingham: Lincoln, Cadbury factory, Stratford-upon-Avon, and many castles so English.

There are many choices of accommodations but if you study in Jubilee Campus, you have to be carefull to think about what you would like before making a decision: to be near the campus or near the majority of the students. Both areas are quite far from each other.
