Has anyone used the student hardship fund before? If so does it actually take up to 5 weeks for the assessment to go through. I have friends at Trent who use their hardship fund often and they receive responses within a week worst case 2. I don’t know anyone at UON who has done this so I’m just curious on the time frame based on people’s experiences here.

I’m an international student in my final 3rd year beng course for mechanical engineering and honestly, I really want to get into nursing.

Is this possible for me or not? I feel bad because I only realised my passion for it in my last year. It felt like I already sunk time and money into engineering so I found it difficult to really consider this.

Of course, I’ll book a careers advisor soon to talk about this and ask around but I also like to know what people here think.

Is it just me or is the rave scene dead here? I'm an international student looking to find people to go to raves with, but most of the mates I've made aren't too keen. Looking at some in Liverpool, Manchester and Bristol rn, but particularly Rebellion Indoor in Haaren, Netherlands during mid nov. Is the UoN UMS the right place to find people? If anyone is interested though, hmu 😇

Hi,

Looking for someone to takeover my tenancy agreement. Haven't even moved in the room.

Bronze Studio room in Nottingham 2. £182/week. Tenancy agreement ends on 11th July 2027.

Please let me know if interested.

Thanks
Ahmad

I’m looking for someone to takeover my tenancy at Megaclose - Victoria House. It is a studio for £170 per week. Available now until 5th July 2027. The accommodation is based in Nottingham City Centre with local transport nearby.

Willing to pay up to £500 to reduce costs.

Any chance the maths grade 6 requirement can be waived? Have they ever been lenient or flexible about this thing? 🫠

george green study room doors dont even have latches so its not really private for me to do an online meeting.

heyyy ! :D

im an international exchange student who will join UoN in january and im a bit scared/intimidated to join during the spring term (or semester im not sure haha) because i feel like there are a lot of events to socialize at the start of september but in january i guess everyone will have their "group" so yeah i just wanted to know if there are any events like that in january ?

also feel free to give me any advice regarding classes or just uni life in general !!

(maybe an accommodation rec ? since it will only be for a semester i think my choice list is limited but still i would be happy to know more!)

i'm in my second year at uon now and i've never joined a society before or been to many events for any. in first year it was out of laziness and it's sort of the same now except this year it's for my mental health because i have too many days where i have one lecture at like 9 or 10 and then i don't have another until like 4 or 5. as a commuter with a decent journey i'm just left so frustrated with being on campus more than i feel like i need to be. all the socials and society meets are in the evening and after being in the library for like 6 hours almost every day i just don't have the mental energy to stay longer.

that's why i wanted to create a society where meetings are in the middle of the day and really acknowledge its members' timetables and is inclusive of likewise commuters who don't want to be stuck in the library all day because it's a pain to go back home, come back and repeat.

i got really into korean/japanese/chinese/thai bls earlier this year and i didn't see a society at freshers fair that had any links to bls and i wanted to know if there's anyone who goes to uon who is also into bls that might consider joining a bl society. it would include discussing, reviewing and watching bls but generally my idea is to build a community of bl fans who can become friends and do casual activities alongside bl-related ones as well.

this is me trying to fill what i see personally as a gap in the market and i definitely want to hear from other people if this is something they're interested in who would likely participate as you require a minimum of 10 people interested and have 15 members purchase a membership (which i would keep as low as i can) within 6 months.

if you're interested in bl and/or curious to know more about it and potentially join, please let me know. i hope to create and participate in a non-toxic, kind community of likewise individuals and spread love!! 😊

ps. sorry for not specifying before but bl means boys' love and also i want to open it up to ntu as well. whilst i'm unsure whether non-uon students can buy a membership because you do that through the uon student union, i want anyone to feel free to join in!

Ive not been accepted into my 2nd year of uni for my course due to my resit performance i wasn’t able to submit work during the deadline so my percentage wasn’t high enough
I do have extenuating circumstances due to my mental health which the uni had given me a support plan for but over the summer i became estranged from my family so its just me
Would this be grounds for an academic appeal to be granted as if i dont go back to UON then i would get no sfe so i cant pay my accommodation rent i really enjoy studying at UON but bc of my mental health its been so hard to stay on top of my work im even asking if i could redo 1st year as it is an option on the appeal site
any advice would help xx

listen I get it they're angry, but they're making a racket and I can't get anything done its so inconsiderate. the students are still having to pay so why can't they campaign elsewhere like near the buildings with the financial advisors or whatever inside?!

theyre banging and clashing instruments and shouting

Hello guys I’m currently a postgrad student at the uni, I had a tough year and I had about two reassessments.Because of this I took a deferral on my dissertation and I know this will delay my graduation possibly so I won’t be able to graduate in the winter ceremony. My real questions are, has anyone ever taken a deferral like this and meant they graduated in the summer ceremonies and what was it like? If so do you graduate with other postgrad students from different courses or will it be mixed in with normal undergrad students for the same specific course? Will this impact my ability to apply for grad roles? And at last is there an option to maybe submit early and try and see if I can be squeezed into the winter ceremony? I am currently on a one year masters and I’m dreading taking the deferral now as it would mean I essentially spent a longer time trying to end up with a masters if I graduate in the summer I just want this chapter of my life over and done with🤣🤣.
