My DD is in 2 minds about going to Uni this year. She currently has a place to study at Nottingham Trent to move there next weekend. It wasn’t her original choice so has had to change her application for student loans and this could take up to 7 more weeks which is also an issue. We didn’t visit this Uni and she’s not sure about it being known as a “party place”, which isn’t really her scene. She’s wondering whether to take a gap year and apply elsewhere for next year instead. She’s getting anxious about it and I’m really not sure how to best advise her. I went to a Uni I didn’t particularly like for different reasons but made myself go. Not sure there’s any point in her going if she really doesn’t like the sound of it. I’d rather she doesn’t go than drops out after a month or something.
Does anyone have any experience of Nottingham Trent? If so, some insight into what type of fellow students she can expect, as she thinks it attracts people who want to party? The reason she chose it was that it was the only option available through clearing.
