could be a culture shock.....though the whole point is that you're young and a good time is virtually guaranteed most places.

Nottingham is generally reckoned to be a student friendly town with lots happening. My neice was in manchester and while she enjoyed it, the impression I got was that its a big town, too spread out to really get to grips with the whole scene. You need a car for manchester, whereas in Nottingham there are trams most places and buses everywhere else.

there are places where your money will go further, because accommodation will be cheaper.....Hull, I would have thought.

don't you have to go where they are running the course you want?
