Simpson's halls is just 30 minutes walk through the city and has a very homely and safe feeling to the accommodation. We are a fairly large hall with lots of blocks within it and plenty of green spaces surrounding the area. Buses are easy to navigate with a stop just 3 minutes from the accommodation that takes you to the city. There's also a Sainsbury's local just 3 minutes from the hall with plenty to offer for shopping necessities.

Simpsons is a great place to stay, the communal kitchen was spacious and modern. However, we did not have any other communal areas which would have been nice and the outside area on site is just a car park. So you have to walk around 5 mins to a park to relax outside. Overall I would say that for me it was a great place to stay 1st year and I would recommend it.

Living at Simpsons Halls has been a great and fun experience! The UPP staff are lovely and welcoming and the cleaners are also friendly. The accommodation itself is really good! The bedrooms are a great size as well as the bathrooms. You are given all the necessities such as a desk chair, a desk, a NTU calender, a pinboard etc. The parking is also good. The social area is the kitchen which has tables and chairs and 2 sofas. The kitchen itself is a good size with plenty of cupboards, fridges and freezers. The walk to NTU is around 15 minutes, the hill can be a killer but it’s not that bad! However you can purchase a bus pass which takes you to the university and into the city. Furthermore, there is a lovely scenic route you can take into the city which is a tad longer but it’s fun to explore! There’s a sainsburys local just round the corner, a tesco express about a 5 minute walk away and a shop area 15mins away with a big sainsburys, lidl, b&m, gym, mcdonald’s, pizza hut & pub & costa!

Simpsons Halls has been a pleasure to stay in for my first year of university. Although the price may appear expensive to others, its location definitely makes up for it. Surrounded by multiple shops, pubs, bars, a cinema and a roller rink, it’s a no brainier to choose Simpsons. The staff are super accommodating and friendly, with the cleaners always greeting me in the morning with the classic Nottinghamshire phrase “How are you me duck”. All the buildings are so close together along for a strong community to be built, with social experiences like no other. Thank you Simpsons Halls for an amazing first year! I would recommend to everyone!

Living at Simpsons Halls has been a fun experience, the UPP staff are lovely and friendly. The accommodation itself is really good, the bedrooms are a great size and bathrooms the same. The kitchen has tables and chairs and 2 sofas, which makes up for the fact there isn’t a separate area for socialising haha! The parking is also great. The walk to NTU is about 15 minutes, however the hill can sometimes be a killer in the heat but you can get the orange line buses into the city and also to university. There’s a lovely scenic walk you can take into the city although it’s a tad longer it was lovely to explore. There’s a sainsburys local just round the corner and a tesco express a little bit further (5 min walk), there is also a shopping area with a gym, mcdonald’s, lidl, big sainsburys, b&m and a costa! Altogether, I’m glad I chose Simpsons as my student accommodation for the first year! I would recommend it to my friends and family.

I’ve loved living here, the people I’ve met have been incredible and for the price it is a great accommodation, living slightly farther away from town to have a cinema, Tescos and Sainsbury’s next door is worth it.
