Coming from a rural background, the University of Nottingham was ideal for me as it prepared me for a larger community area, without encompassing the hassle of a big city. The scenery and parks are beautiful, I personally used them for both strolls and runs.
The staff are very friendly and extremely inviting if you ever need any extra assistance with course/accommodation.
It is a shame there are no self catered halls on campus as everyone wishing to take this path has to stay off campus and so the travel time to classes increases.
