Most study at University Park or Jubilee Campus. <a href=\"https:\/\/houseofstudent.com\/uk\/student-accommodation\/nottingham-trent-university\">Nottingham Trent University<\/a> enrols roughly 35,400 students across its main sites, with City Campus in central Nottingham and Clifton Campus four miles south. Clifton has its own community of more than 8,000 students.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Together, the two universities bring more than 70,000 students to the city. That number supports a wide choice of societies, part-time jobs, student discounts, restaurants and nightlife.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nottingham also costs less than several other major university cities. Day-to-day expenses run roughly 10% to 15% below London, and the same room type usually costs far less than it would in the capital.<\/span><\/p><h2><b>How Nottingham\u2019s University Areas Divide<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The University of Nottingham draws most of its students to the west of the city centre. Lenton, Dunkirk and Beeston provide convenient routes to University Park and Jubilee Campus by foot, bicycle, bus or tram.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NTU City Campus students often choose the city centre, Lace Market, Arboretum or The Meadows. Clifton Campus has a separate student community, with halls and private rooms near the campus itself.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lenton, Dunkirk and Radford attract students from both universities. These areas contain a high number of student houses and usually cover several price levels.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nottingham Express Transit trams and Nottingham City Transport buses connect the main student neighbourhoods with both universities and the city centre. Most of these journeys take less than 30 minutes.<\/span><\/p><h2><b>Best Areas for Students in Nottingham<\/b><\/h2><table><tbody><tr><td><p><b>Area<\/b><\/p><\/td><td><p><b>Best for<\/b><\/p><\/td><td><p><b>Average monthly rent per room<\/b><\/p><\/td><td><p><b>Distance to campus<\/b><\/p><\/td><td><p><b>What the area offers<\/b><\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lenton<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">University of Nottingham: Jubilee Campus and University Park<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a3480\u2013\u00a3700<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10\u201315-minute walk or cycle to Jubilee Campus<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cheap takeaways, house parties and a large student population<\/span><\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dunkirk<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both UoN and NTU<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a3480\u2013\u00a3650<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10\u201320 minutes to either campus<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lower noise levels than Lenton, affordable rents and many second- and third-year tenants<\/span><\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beeston<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">University of Nottingham: University Park<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a3450\u2013\u00a3650<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Around 20 minutes by regular tram or bus<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Local shops, family neighbourhoods and an established student community<\/span><\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Radford<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NTU and UoN<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a3420\u2013\u00a3600<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">15\u201320 minutes to NTU City Campus<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lower rents, a growing student population and quick access to Lenton<\/span><\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Meadows<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NTU City Campus<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a3450\u2013\u00a3650<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Around 15 minutes on foot to the city centre and NTU<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Riverside streets and fair rents for a central location<\/span><\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">City Centre, Lace Market and Arboretum<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NTU City Campus<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a3550\u2013\u00a3850<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5\u201310 minutes on foot<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nightlife, shops and a high concentration of NTU students<\/span><\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hyson Green<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both universities and lower budgets<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a3400\u2013\u00a3550<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">15\u201320 minutes to either campus<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the lowest established student rents and useful transport links<\/span><\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clifton<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NTU Clifton Campus<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a3400\u2013\u00a3600<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On campus or a short bus trip<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Halls, purpose-built rooms and a separate campus community<\/span><\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lenton places University of Nottingham students close to both Jubilee Campus and University Park.

That equals roughly \u00a3162 per week and represents a 15.5% increase over the previous two years.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unipol-managed rooms for 2025\/26 cost between \u00a3117 and \u00a3171 per week, with bills included. Current commercial rooms range from about \u00a397 to \u00a3230 per week. City-centre PBSA studios occupy the top end of that range.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shared houses in Lenton, Dunkirk and Radford usually cost \u00a3480 to \u00a3700 per month for each bedroom. Utility bills often sit outside that amount.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A typical total monthly budget falls between \u00a3800 and \u00a31,200.
