- It had a global lounge which has free coffee also I had made some amazing friends due to international activites planned
- My campus was huge and it was in middle of the city which was to easy to navigate
- We had top-notch equipments to work with I- mac desktops and Nikon DSLR
Dislikes
- Due to pandemic , most of the classes were online
- Everything had a cost which prevented international students to actually take up opportunities
- Instructors were very casual and chilled out , which i feel the course itself was very outdated
- I opted for a double standard studio accommodation, as it was the time of COVID and I was Jain too. I was not ready to share the kitchen with non-veg flatmates, and my studio was off campus with a price of 550 per month, which included electricity bills and the use of the gym.
- My flat was 5 minutes away from campus, which was super convenient as it was near stores, cafes, bus stop, tram stop, and local tourist attractions, which made the area quite popular



Likes
- Modern Campus and facility: Providing eat-ins, libraries and nightclubs.
- International Students: Students all over from the globe and hence more interactions and diversity.
- Open gated Campus: The city campus is an open gated which means it creates more of the city vibe.
Dislikes
- Less lectures and classes: The total numbers of classes and lectures and a bit less for a full time university.
- British weather: The typical British weather is a nuisance as being an open university, the weather becomes a hassle with uncertain rains and chilly winds.
- Living cost: The living cost especially nearby to the university (being in the city) is quite high. While cheaper than London, rent and daily expenses have been only rising.
- My accommodation was off campus, using Facebook groups and connecting to fellow Indian students who were also joining the same batch, and then, with more and more connections, we got a better reach for the property available, and being a group of 4, it got easier to get the accommodation.
- My accommodation was walking distance from the university, in the main city only but usually Indian students lived a little far off because of the cheaper properties.

- Location wise University was good it had 3 different campus each catering for different subject
- The support staff at University is also good as it provides best help to students studying over there
- As I was research student over there i had good interaction with faculty they were well qualified and had good knowledge about the respective subjects they were dealing with
Dislikes
- As far there are no such dislikes the only thing I would like to say if they bring more companies for placement which will help student to secure job
- I found accommodation online through a site called University Living. in had booked a studio flat as my accommodation
- My monthly rent was 600 pounds, which included wifi, gas, electricity, and water bills
- The cleaning was done every weekend
- I would recommend booking accommodation as early as possible, as the rates may fluctuate based on the availability of accommodations
- My accommodation was merely a 5-minute walk from campus

- The student accommodation provided by our uni at a reduced price: I couldn't find a decent accommodation even 2 weeks before leaving, so when I contacted representatives from our uni, they immediately helped me get a wonderful place to stay called The Maltings which was 20 mins away from the City Campus. It was okay priced. And we had all facilities available including a one year free bus pass that helped me tour the entire city fully free of cost. Infact the bus stop was 1 min away, yes 1 min away from our hostel and made our commute very quick and nifty.
- Incredible tutors with real newsroom experience: The lecturers weren’t just academics — I mean yes they were all scholars with terribly rich backgrounds that will stupefy you beyond comprehension but they were ALL seasoned journalists who had actually worked in BBC, ITV, Sky News and major global outlets. Their stories, their constructive feedback, and their refusal to sugarcoat the realities of the industry made every class feel alive and rooted in real-world journalism. We often had people from Facebook, Twitter (X), Reach PLC and other major organisations visit us. They were not intimidating but their resumes were. It felt like being mentored by such humble personas and not just taught.
- The adrenaline rush of daily newsdays followed by 3 newsweeks: Our newsdays were intense and so rewarding. We had to pitch, produce, edit, and deliver real broadcast packages under strict deadlines — just like in a real newsroom. The rush of pulling a package together in time, coordinating with your team, and then seeing your work aired or published was absolutely unforgettable. We would fall apart and pull through simultaneously. But more than that, we always had each others' back. If someone didn't have a story, one of us will find one for another. If one struggled with editing, we would jump in. If someone was ill, others would lend a hand. It wasn't you vs me. It was WE. One batch of 15 students who worked for the same goal.
Dislikes
- Some modules felt outdated or too UK-centric: Now I say this with all the love for NTU but to be crazy and brutal honest, As an international student, I sometimes felt like the curriculum assumed prior familiarity with British politics, media law, and institutional systems. I mean we went for Journalism, right? Why were we obsessively being taught only UK House of Lords and House of Commons? Their Municipal/County system? Their laws? I kinda hated learning those modules but the stakes were high so we mugged up as much as we could but didn't like it at all. It was forced down our gullet with no optional modules. The topics could be more global but they couldn't have cared the least. Media Law was still okay but Public Affairs was the worst. To learn the entire UK map and their government felt like a major waste of time. There wasn’t always space made for global media perspectives or alternative storytelling structures outside the UK style. No, forget global, I would expect include Europe atleast. But nope. Give us a comparison with other countries, but no. It made me feel a bit unseen at times. Imagine coming from India, in a class that's filled with Indians and the uni pays no, not one second of academic interest in our country.
- Lack of emotional or mental health support during high-pressure periods: Newsweeks could get brutal. But we lacked any morale from the authorities. We were expected to perform like professionals, like Journalists in training and often with little room for error, no room for NO error but without consistent mental health check-ins or even acknowledgment of burnout. It was a lot — especially for international students managing life alone in a new country. The thing is there are Students Counselling Services provided and I took them but they didn't help me that much. I had little to no moral support and often felt suffocated and extremely overwhelmed with the academic pressure. Only we had a few handful friends as support but that was never enough.
- Once again, I already highlighted this in the very first question. Your form is too long.
- Found it through university representatives.
- 4884 GBP. Paid by me. Every facility, including private rooms, shared kitchens and bathrooms.
- No challenges! We were highly secured.
- Yes, they can go for the Maltings. It's pretty great and cheaper than other options.
- Around 20 mins by bus, which is paid for because they provide bus passes. I have no idea where most Indian students stay; that's a very illogical question. Indian students are the highest in numbers; they stay everywhere depending on their budget.

- Infrastructure is extremely good.
- Teaching methods as they were highly intuitive
- Employability Support
Dislikes
- Workload towards certain Subjects unbalanced
- Some resources are outdated
- Location is not the best as it is a city campus.
- I uses student roost to find accommodation. It was student housing, which was in sheffield much far from my university; I had to take a train every day. I chose this because my girlfriend was in leeds and i had to find something midway. It was 900 GBP for a studio, which i shared with my girlfriend. Zero challenges. Everything was extremely smooth. I even ordered bedding utensils etc even before I came, and my accommodation set everything up clearly.

- Location: Nottingham is a huge city and the university campus is spread across the entire city. The lectures for my particular course were held mainly in the “Nottingham Business School” (NBS) building, which is in NG1, very close to the town hall, accessible by all forms of local public transportations such as, Tram Line and various different buses from private to public.
- Library: Nottingham Trent University (NTU) Library is right next to the NBS is very easily accessible, operating 24/7 it is easily accessible and provides various forms of support for the students and working individuals at the University.
- Portal: The online platform for students to access and get all the reading material was most essential. It provided the recordings, notes, presentations of the lectures and all the schedules for private course related activities/events that were happening in and around the University.
Dislikes
- Campus accommodations fill up quite fast, so be quick and early to find an accommodation for yourself as close as possible to the lecture halls or wherever your courses are!
- Food in the canteen can be quite expensive
- Travelling is quite expensive, since the campus is right in the middle of the city.
- I used the university’s online platform for on campus accommodation in my first year.
- From my second year I took help from my friends and found new accommodation after having visited the site.
- £476 per month, facilities such as a common room, laundry, shared kitchen, co-ed bathrooms
- I started looking for the accommodation after I got my Visa and if I was any later then I would have not found an accommodation on campus that was affordable.
- Start early! The earlier the better and make sure to visit the place and have a word with the landlord about the utility bills.
- NG7, this was 7 or 8 miles away from the college campus.












Likes
- World class Faculty that comes with world class experience
- Classrooms with comfortable seating and well lit up atmosphere for projector screens
- Campus that is spread across the city center
Dislikes
- Limited support from Career support team
- Lack of balance between theoretical and practical teaching
- Few face to face webinars and more online lectures
- I chose an off campus student accommodation because of the pricing mostly, and also the facilities the student accommodation had, it was quite easily reachable from the University and vice versa making it an accessible accommodation and quite close to the city and my uni campus.
- The pricing of the on campus accommodation was slightly over priced compared to what I would pay staying at an off campus accommodation. Giving me a hand of both uni life and life outside uni.

- The course structure was very interesting, starting with a theorical lecture, followed by seminars with a small group of students where we shared our opinions of the topic, exposing us to different opinions of different cultures of people in one room
- Making studying quite interesting, The professors were all from different backgrounds and age groups all adding a different level of expertise in my coursework. The student life in nottingham was quite interesting with multiple events organised to
- Know different cultures, languages and people helping us getting out of our comfort zone and explore new things. The people in general were all very sweet and helpful, with no caste discrimination incidents or biases making it a safe place to stay
Dislikes
- The employability team was not quite helpful in securing a full time job in the fashion industry, which was very challenging to get a job there.
- Employability team was not helpful for my field
- Library was usually closed in summer holidays and this was during or final dissertation making it difficult for us to study
- I found my accommodation on a website called "University Living". It was pretty straightforward and they gave me a virtual viewing, making it easier for me to book it in time.
- There are also installments in paying the accommodation fees that can ease some expenses for you during the initial days of settling in the country.
- I was too late in finding an on-campus accommodation, as that usually opens in March for a September intake course. They are usually cheaper but you have to be quick. Always find a place through a service as they are reliable rather than going with private agents to avoid issues in a new country.

- I like the way we have to take ownership and learn from scratch if you are changing country as the education system is different.
- Learned how research is done how important it is when it comes to education.
- I liked campus, cafe and events hosted by University.
Dislikes
- I disliked the teaching provided to me for my particular course. It is very difficult if you come from a different field. They will expect alot from you as you are masters student but when it comes to teaching to be honest it is a big zero. Hardly any lecturers were good. Will be a waste of money doing luxury fashion brand management as they hardly have any industry visits or any person coming from industry and teaching or sharing experience.
- Exposure needed to luxury industry is not there. I expected people from luxury industry will come share experience or will get to visit any company or something but none of it was been done. So basically for this course is a waste of money. As a master’s student and mainly the course is about management where in real nothing related to management withing luxury is been taught.
- You have to make your own contacts. So start making contacts as soon as possible.
I chose this university as it ranked amongst top 10 in arts in UK. My overall experience is a learning path for me evolving gradually and learning. Career opportunities is hardly any if you do not make contacts. Achieving good marks and passing will not help unless you make industry contacts.
Likes
- I like how we are made feel at home, we have great teachers and they support us at every point.
Dislikes
- But I think the job help could be better, especially for international students.
I chose this university as the academic reputation of NTU is great for my course of study, and the city itself is extremely student-friendly. It was extremely easy for me as an international student to indulge in university activities and eventually, I fell in love with the city.
