Collegiate Nova

With so much to see nearby, it’s impossible to be bored at your new student accommodation. After a busy week, clear your head with a trip to beautiful Arboretum Park, a Green Flag space with more than 800 trees. Shop for vintage clothing and artisan crafts in the boutiques of the historic Lace Market, or catch a cutting-edge exhibition at Nottingham Contemporary gallery. In the evening, meet your friends for dinner at your favourite restaurant. Try Oscar & Rosie’s for gourmet pizza by the metre, then get tickets to a gig at Rock City music venue or to a new production at Nottingham Playhouse.

From your new home at Nova, you can walk to Nottingham Trent University in 5 minutes, or catch the bus to the University of Nottingham in 15 minutes. In the morning, roll out of your double bed in time for a pre-class workout in the on-site gym. Freshen up with a shower in your ensuite bathroom, then choose a new outfit from the double wardrobe and head downstairs for a complimentary breakfast coffee. Your nearest bus stop is a few metres away, and it’s a seven-minute walk to the closest tram.

In between classes, use these transport links to explore the city. Step back in time at Elizabethan mansion Wollaton Hall; or discover Nottingham legends on a Robin Hood Town Tour. Whether you choose an ensuite room or a studio, you’ll love coming home at the end of the day. Greet the 24-hour concierge on your way through the lobby, then relax in front of your in-room TV or use the 200 MB Wi-Fi to catch up on emails at your study desk.

Later, drop your washing off at the laundry, then challenge your friends at one of the building’s games tables while you wait. Spend the rest of the afternoon relaxing in the club lounge, or cooking up a storm in the communal kitchen. Your options for evening entertainment are endless. The property counts on free printing, karaoke room and photobooth. Organise a movie marathon in the private cinema, or dance the night away at the on-site party room. Whatever you do, security ensures you always feel safe.
