Student Housing
#1 Student Lettings Agency
Welcome to Nottingham Trent University! Whether you’re a bright-eyed fresher or a returning postgrad, one question looms large every year: where should I live?
Nottingham is a diverse, student-friendly city with loads of neighbourhoods to choose from — each with its own vibe, price tag, and perks. So we’ve broken it down for you. Here’s the ultimate area guide for NTU students looking for student accommodation in Nottingham.
Just a stone’s throw from the NTU city campus, Arboretum is a long-time favourite with Trent students.
✅ Walking distance to lectures
✅ Close to the tram stops and Victoria Centre
✅ Lovely green space at the Arboretum Park
✅ Popular for second- and third-year students
You’ll find loads of student houses, ensuite rooms, and private flats in this area — often with bills included, which makes budgeting easy.

If you’re after value for money, Forest Fields should be high on your list.
✅ Cheaper rent than the city centre
✅ Quick tram ride or walk to NTU
✅ Nearby shops and takeaways
✅ Popular with postgrads and international students
This area is great for room-by-room lets, and you’ll still be close enough to NTU to roll out of bed and make your 9am.
Want to be in the thick of the action? Then go for the City Centre — it’s trendy, central, and packed with amenities.
✅ 2-minute walk to NTU
✅ Surrounded by bars, shops, cafés, and nightlife
✅ Ideal for students wanting modern, private flats
✅ Ensuite and studio options available
It’s also where you’ll find lots of private student accommodation, often with luxury features like gyms, cinema rooms, and communal lounges.
A bit more residential, Radford is a solid option for bigger groups.
✅ Larger houses — ideal for 4+ housemates
✅ Mix of NTU and University of Nottingham students
✅ Quick bus ride or 20–30 min walk to NTU
✅ Lower rent than the city centre
If you want more space for less money, this is where to look.
Although more associated with UoN, Lenton and Dunkirk also attract NTU students who don’t mind a commute in exchange for:
✅ Buzzing student culture
✅ Loads of takeaways and cafes
✅ Bigger houses
✅ Strong social scene
Trent students studying at the Clifton or Brackenhurst campuses also live here, especially if they want to mix with friends at other unis.
What’s the best area for first-years?
Most first-years live in halls, but second-years tend to move to Arboretum or Forest Fields.
Can I find private student housing with ensuite rooms near NTU?
Absolutely — many private accommodations and house shares offer ensuite rooms, especially in the City Centre and Arboretum.
Is student accommodation in Nottingham bills included?
Most of our listings are bills included — so no surprises when winter hits.
What’s the average rent for NTU student housing?
Prices range from around £95/week in Forest Fields to £150+/week for city centre studios.
✔️ Start early – But don’t panic if it’s summer — there’s a second rush in August/September
✔️ Be flexible – Try house shares, room-by-room lets, or short-term contracts
✔️ Prioritise service – Look for responsive maintenance, transparent deposits, and a friendly agent (like us 👋)
We’ve helped hundreds of NTU students find the perfect pad — from budget-friendly digs to modern studios with all the extras.
