Nice to read, even better to reply ;)

Bon soir Remy,

I'm based in London so a bit too far away, but I really hope you have better luck in finding friends this time around!

Au revoir et bonne chance.

Salut! I would like to move to Notts as soon as possible so if you could give me some information about best areas to rent a room, transportation, jobs, nightlife, etc. I´d be very grateful!!!

Ça serait super de se voir là-bas !

For accomodation, the best areas in Notts are the city centre of course (NG1, but quite pricey also), West Bridgford, Beeston or Arnold (less expensive but a bit outside town too, the transports are great though so you can commute in a few minutes with the bus).
For the websites, you can have a look at Rightmove, Zoopla or Easyroommate and see what's in your budget.
Nottingham has a great nightlife (to my point of view, but don't expect the same fiesta as in Spain though with a lot of nice restaurants, cafés and numerous bars and clubs, I was happily surprised when I arrived last year to be honest
As for the jobs, I am not sure because I work in Derby and commute between the 2 cities everyday.
Don't hesitate to contact me if you need any more infos.
Hasta luego, besos

Remy

Hi! Thank you very much for your response.

I´d love to live there but I´m very worried to decide it on Notts and not be able to find a job so maybe I should move to London instead, but it is so big and expensive...

What do you do in Derby? Was it easy for you to find a job? So far I´ve done some phone interviews but the next stage is the face-to-face interview and apparently in the UK Skype is not an option :S

By the way, how do you travel to and from Notts when you go abroad? I guess for me the cheapest option for the flight ticket would be to fly to London and then? Should I take a bus or a train? Are there good connections?

Thanks for the info!
