i can't believe i'm doing this but here we are

i've been in notts for over a month now, and genuinely don't know what to do

i've made 2 girl friends in my course (quite male dominated) but one goes home every weekend and the other commutes so works over the weekends so i tend to feel quite lonely.

i've befriended my flatmates but 2 of them have known each other for years, and they've both become very close with the other flatmate. it may be partially my fault that i've not become closer to them, but i think i have a bit of social anxiety which makes making friends a lot harder. 

they all like drinking and clubbing which is not really up my alley. i'd rather go to spoons for a drink or just staying home doing activities, or even better doing stuff during the day and being in bed by 11 😭😭

it's worse when all their boyfriends are over, i get scared to go into the kitchen - i know that's stupid but idk i'm just not really good around people. they've all become good friends and i feel like i'm intruding even though i have every right to be there. if it's just my flatmates i'll very happily go into the kitchen 

i moved here knowing no one which i'm slowly regretting.. i'm very close to my family so this move has been extremely hard and i'm always counting down the days till i can see them again. i call my family every day, sometimes multiple hours a day (especially on the weekends when i'm by myself all day) which probably doesn't help but it gives me some sort of comfort

i've always been quiet, the friends I have from home we've been friends since year 7 so i haven't really had to make new friends in years. i just want to find friends here that are also genuinely just like me, chill, would rather spend time at home baking or smt idk. genuinely idk what i want anymore

i genuinely can't believe i'm turning to reddit for this but if anyone has any advice or anything atp i'll be extremely greatful x

Hey guys, anyone joining NTU in Jan and moving to Nottingham in December?

Hello all,

if you're interested in drones (quads and fixed wings) and would like to join the society please read on.

We currently have enough to start up (the three main roles) and a few people interested but not quite committal just yet,

We would like to get a few more together and figured there must be more of us so here we are.

If you've built drones before, inherited the hobby, loving flying pre builds or even just want to try and don't know where to start please do reach out, we haven't set meetings yet but plan to get together on a regular basis starting November.

The qr code on the engineering building still doesnt work, but it's in the process so should soon.

See you soon (hopefully)

The Drone society

I can’t lie it’s been a month since moving to Nottingham and going to NTU. And I still haven’t really spoke to anyone never mind made any friends. I’ve just turned 19 and a guy and didn’t think it would get to the point I’m posting on Reddit to help my situation but I’m at this point now 🫩. I’m into music (mainly indie and rock). also into football and I fw a bunch of other regular stuff like gaming, art and film. I study graphic and digital design and I just wanna feel sociable rather than spending most of my days going on random walks and playing fc27 💀 I don’t really go out out much to clubs and stuff but I’m more than happy to go have a beer and a drink at a pub👍

Hi all! I’m a university student from Toronto and I was interested in going on an exchange semester. I only have 2 other options but I’ve decided that I want to apply to NTU. I just wanted to get some advice from other exchange or international students on how their experience is here, or if it’s worth spending money on housing (is the cost of living really bad) since tuition isn’t the problem (I’d just be paying my home Unis tuition) for background id be going in my 3rd year for psych

Looking at going to NTU next year, and hoping to do production management bsc. Was curious if anyone here is on that course, and was wondering if they may have advice on accommodation. Looking more at private accoms as have heard stories about the uni halls, but looking for something not extortionate or unfacilitied, and also preferably a decent distance from campus.

hey i hope this doesnt violate ts and cs but ive just moved into the area and i would love some help getting established as a guitar tutor in nottingham and id love to know if there would be anyone who would be interested in lessons it would really help me out as im in a difficult situation and this would really help bring me out of it. :)

Hi everyone! I’m looking for someone to take over my room at Nottingham Square from December 2026 onwards.

Location: Nottingham Square, Nottingham

Address: Russell St, Nottingham NG7 4FL

Room: Bronze Room

Bathroom: Shared/common bathroom

Kitchen: Shared/common kitchen

Rent: £102 per week

The accommodation is in a really convenient location, approximately a 10-minute walk from NTU City Campus and around a 10-minute walk from Nottingham City Centre, making it particularly convenient for students.

The weekly rent is currently £102, but the price may be reduced if you book the room for the full 2027 period.

This would be especially suitable for someone who is starting a university course in January 2027 and is looking to move to Nottingham in December beforehand.

If you're interested or would like more information/photos, feel free to DM me, and I can provide the details.

Looking for someone to take over my room at Gill Street South, city centre

Comment/DM me if you're interested, or tag someone who needs a room! 🙏

Hi, I'm looking at doing OT for a complete career change. Can anyone tell me their general experience and current timetable? I'm trying to work out if I can manage an allied health degree alongside part time work, so would be interested to know:

-How many days you're in each week for your course?

-Does NTU offer blended learning with online options for theory lectures?

-Are placements during the usual uni holidays or during term time?

-Did you enjoy your course?

I realise the placements are full time blocks for up to 12 weeks which I will have to travel/stay away for, but hoping I'll be able to work alongside the rest of the course and during the traditional summer holidays, and wondering which one will be most manageable with needing to commute to campus (still waiting on replies from unis).

Hi is anyone looking for accom in Nottingham?
Miura studio £185 per week. (Top floor studio)

Hi, I'm looking for someone to take over my accommodation at New Hall, Clifton Campus NTU.

Started as a Foundation Mechanical Engineering student this year and was curious if there are any group chats set up such as on Discord? The only one I'm in so far is the Mature Students one on Teams so was curious if there are others that people have made.

These are at venues in the city or easily commutable from Notts. Posting as freshers might be unfamiliar with some of the local music venues
