A worthy experience, academically rewarding and personally insightful.
Tips: While the city centre is busy, the area around the university is quiet, especially compared to India. Also, choose your accommodation carefully because the walk might be longer than expected. The Masters program is short and intensive, so you might feel like you have too much to cover in a short time. The faculty is very knowledgeable and you can get a thorough insight into your paper. Overall, I am quite satisfied with the country, course and university.

Home away from home, just colder.
Tips: The cultural shift was less than expected, but I am an adaptable person so I was fine. I didn't receive any scholarships unfortunately because I applied through the clearing. The course is quite nice, but I wish the country wasn't as cold as it is during the winter.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is really good and easy to use. The campus is well connected with the rest of the city and it is easy to get buses to and from the University as well as to your accommodation. Compared to other cities, public transportation is relatively cheap.
Dislikes (Value for money): It is quite expensive compared to other universities in the country and also compared to other degrees. It is thrice as expensive for international students compared to home students for this specific course, meanwhile, for other courses it's only twice as expensive.

University of Nottingham- Review
Tips: Make a list of everything you need. Plan out your weekly expenses. Stop covering GBP to INR while buying because it would trouble you and would make you conscious of what you are spending. In reality, you cannot help it. These are the basic things you need. Please try to make sure you study more about the course before applying and look at the disadvantage and advantage as well. Don't get swept up by the beauty of the country.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transport is always available and easily accessible at any time of the day or night. It's 2 pounds per person but if you buy a group ticket with one or two people, it lessens your expenses and it's better to buy on the app because the ticket would remain for 24 hours.
Dislikes (Internships): Not many internship opportunities during the course. The course does not offer you opportunities per se. It does offer some project-based opportunities though which adds up on your CV but overall there are no hospital-based internships or case studies.
