Areas Nottingham: Where to live
Clifton and Brackenhurst students may also wish to live in or around the city centre. The question that you have to ask yourselves as a Clifton or Brackenhurst student is do you want to travel into lectures and seminars or do you want to travel in for nights out, cinema or shopping? The advantage of living in the city centre is that these services are on your doorstep.

Students studying at the city campus do not need to look very far as there is an abundance of student accommodation on the University’s doorstep.
