I spend a lot of time at Nottingham University for some reason. I'm going there for work experience, for a week, soon. Today I went to one of their open days. Might I note that they have a beautiful campus. I have noted that Nottingham is the benchmark for campus based Universities; what a campus it is. They have a lake, massive swathes of green area, beautiful trees everywhere. I cannot express how pretty the campus is very easily without cliché and hyperbole. Instead I will not attempt to describe the campus further than I already have.
I attended several lectures today. The first was a nano science lecture delivered by Professor Moriarty (yes there were Arthur Conan Doyle references made), who is a very charismatic speaker. This is the second time I have heard him lecture, and I may be considering Nottingham purely based on the fact that he might be delivering my physics lectures. Another good lecture I attended was on gravitational lensing, and the mapping of dark matter. The speaker, Dr Grey, was also very good. While not quite as good as Professor Moriarty, she was still engaging, as was her subject (though I think Grandma fell asleep durning the lecture). The physics practical demonstrations mostly involved fourth year students messing around with liquid nitrogen. It was a good opportunity to interact with Nottingham students first hand, and to gain insight into university life right from the source.
A good day was had by all.
