Where to Live in Nottingham

Students live all over Nottingham, in some cases choosing to live close to their institution and in other cases choosing the location of the property for its amenities and favourable location rather than its proximity to their place of study.

Although recent research has shown that students are moving closer to the city centre there are other areas which should be explored as they offer a host of local amenities and are very student friendly. Lenton and Dunkirk remain the most popular areas for University of Nottingham students, whilst the city centre and the Arboretum sees the greatest density of Nottingham Trent University students.
