The Poolie Bunker

my daughters got an interview at nottingham uni next week any ideas how far this is from the station and roughly how much a taxi would cost?

Nottingham University or Nottingham Trent?

trent

Couldn't be easier. Forget the taxi, you can get the tram right into student central from the train station. £1.60 each in theory but in practice the journey is so short no one will ask you for any money.

That said it depends on which campus the interview is. Do you have an address?

its the city campus thats as much as I have

Then refer to my earlier post - 5 minutes on the tram.

If you need any help with anything when she lands here you can always give me a shout.

thanks a million

fashion accessories design...or some such.the girls an arty sort. we'll PM you some feedback and directions after the event if you like

By the way, no need to worry about the gun crime. Its very localised and invariably drug gang related.

There are loads of signposts and maps on bus shelters everywhere around the city centre so its easy to get around. If on foot, the first thing to do is walk through the Broadmarsh shopping centre and carry on, which takes you into Market Square right in the middle of the city.

many thanks to those who helped me with this,she arrived early and found the uni with minimum fuss,all went well so fingers crossed.

Good stuff Mr D, if she comes to Nottingham, theres always a spare room if you want to visit.

Dawlish, if she does end up moving here, let me know and I'll point you in the right direction for accommodation. There are some great areas to live in as a student and some very bad ones as well. It's not easy to tell which.

thanks mr I and poolieinnottingham,much appreciated. subject to an offer I'll be needing a bit of local advice so maybe back on,though we think she gets uni digs for 12 months.
mr offshore I've PM'd you some of the interview stuff,hope it helps.
