News: How to get more from your college experience
While your studies should always be a priority, there’s so much more to college life than just hitting the books. Here are some tips and activities to help you make the most of your time here.
1. Join in on Enrichment Activities
Did you know we have an entire team dedicated to planning fun activities for you? From day trips to theme parks and Christmas Markets to cool societies — like our new Esports club launching later this year. To sign up for any of our enrichment activities, just head to the enrichment section on Studentnet. Have fun!
2. Collaboration is key
Nottingham College has some of the best facilities in the East Midlands, and one of the best ways to get the most out of what’s on offer is to collaborate. For example, if you’re a Chef looking to create content for your socials, your new best friend should be a media student! They’ve got access to amazing cameras, lighting, and editing software. It’s a great way to explore different areas of the college and learn some handy new skills while making connections. Why not take a look at this collaboration between our media and journalism students for inspiration?
3. Explore Nottingham
One of the best things about being a college student is choosing how to manage your time. If you have a couple of hours between classes or even a day off, you’re never far from the city centre. You might think you know Nottingham inside and out, but it’s a vibrant student city with lots to offer for people in education! That lanyard you got at enrolment is going to be super handy. With tons of shops, restaurants, and cafes offering student discounts, there’s plenty to discover. Whether you’re café hopping or hunting for vintage finds, you’re sure to have a great time!
4. Don’t Hesitate to Seek Support
The entire Nottingham College team is here to ensure you have the best possible experience while studying with us. Whether you have questions about your course, need help with student finance, or want to talk about something serious like mental health, just ask, and we’ll make it happen.
If you want to find out more about the opportunities available for students at Nottingham College, don’t hesitate to chat with your tutor or get in touch with our friendly Student Support team. We hope you have a great time studying with us and we can’t wait to see what you achieve!
