Student review [#17603] for Chemical Engineering
at University of Nottingham - UoN

Overall, the university experience has been great. Within my course, I felt that the transition from A-Level to University was very comfortable and I didn’t feel like I was behind at all. The pre-written notes provided by all my lecturers was a blessing and meant that I didn’t have to worry about missing any important information as the lecturer is speaking (not all lecturers record their lectures so having these notes saves quite a lot of time).

My first-year experience in a catered hall was lovely. The food mainly had its good days and the ‘family vibe’ was really present throughout the formals, daily dinner times and other events organised within our halls. The hall was also a good distance away from my engineering buildings, the Student Union shops and the gym.

At first, the high hills were a bit difficult to climb up and down but after a while, you get used to them and it feels like a nice short workout before lectures! There are more flat paths around the university too.

The societies are easy to join and all have been welcoming to freshers and even those who join halfway through the year (you don’t always have to sign up for everything right at the beginning).

Overall, my experience has been wonderful and I am looking forward to moving into a new house with friends from my hall next year!
