NOTTINGHAM STUDENT ACCOMMODATION FOR NEW STUDENTS
The place to be for
New students
First-year students at Broadgate Park
The majority of Broadgate Park residents are first-year undergraduate and postgraduate students. In addition to providing accommodation that is both comfortable and convenient to campus, Broadgate Park has an active social scene with regular events and activities organised by Student Committee to provide lots of opportunities to meet your neighbours. Being away from home for the first time can be daunting which is why we endeavour to create a home away from home environment on site.
1st Year students must apply for their accommodation via the University of Nottingham accommodation portal.
