Your next room
Find your student room in Nottingham

The room has a bed, a desk, a wardrobe and, in most types, a Smart TV. Wi-Fi is already on. You do not need to book an engineer. Bedding, plates and a lamp are yours to bring. The kitchen in a studio has a hob. A shared kitchen has more of them, used by the flat.
Learn the bus from your door to your campus in the first week, in daylight. The building page has an estimate. The timetable is the one that matters at 8:30.
Parcels go to the parcel room. Do not have them left on the step.
