Coming to an Experience Day in person made a huge difference in helping me feel confident in my decision to come to the University of Nottingham. It’s one thing reading about a course online, but being able to experience the campus atmosphere, meet passionate staff, and get a real feel for university life shaped my decision. It wasn’t just about choosing a course, but also where I would be living, settling in, and meeting people who could become friends for life.    

The moment I stepped onto University Park Campus, I could instantly picture myself studying here.
