Hi everyone,

I’m heading to Nottingham soon for my studies and currently exploring student accommodation options. I’d really appreciate any advice or recommendations.

While researching, I came across https://www.beststudenthalls.com. It looks like a helpful starting point, but I’d love to hear personal experiences and suggestions.

If you’ve lived in Nottingham or recently booked accommodation, your input would be really valuable!

Thanks in advance!!

Hi Arati!

Best Student Halls is a solid place to start; it lists many private student accommodations in Nottingham, with filters for price, location, and room type. Some listings even come with cashback or flexible cancellation.

But don’t stop there, I’d also recommend checking:

  • UniAcco (www.uniacco.com) – another reliable platform where you can compare verified student properties, see photos, amenities, and even get assistance with booking.
  • StudentCrowd (www.studentcrowd.com) – for verified student reviews on specific properties and providers.
  • University-managed housing – often ideal for first-years and usually closer to campus.
  • Popular student areas like Lenton, Beeston, or the City Centre.

Always check what’s included in the rent, review the contract carefully, and book early for the best options.

If you have any more questions, feel free to post again! We’d be glad to help you.

All the best for your studies in Nottingham! :graduation_cap::house_with_garden:
