January is a odd month. The building is full again, the assessment deadlines are closer than they were in December, and the weather is doing nobody any favours.
Your next room
Find your student room in Nottingham
Compare bills-included rooms, then choose a viewing time that suits you.
Put the semester's lectures in a calendar in the first two days, and decide which mornings are for the library. The study room in the building is there for the other hours. One social thing a week is enough to keep you from spending the month in the room.

Broadway, in Hockley, does cheaper tickets for students. Wollaton Hall and the deer park are free and a decent walk. Nottingham Contemporary, in the Lace Market, is free to enter. The National Ice Centre runs public skating sessions if you want something louder.
If you need a room for next year, talk to the team before Easter. The rooms people ask for are the ones that go.
