Just got Nottingham through Clearing? You are not alone, and the good news is that your accommodation can be sorted today with Study Inn, Student Accommodation Operator of the Year Award Winner at the RESI Awards 2026. Whether you have been placed at the University of Nottingham (UoN) or Nottingham Trent University (NTU), student accommodation in Nottingham is filling fast through August. Study Inn has rooms available at both Talbot Street and Triumph House through Clearing. This guide walks you through exactly what to do in the next 24 hours and how to book a room the same day with no UK guarantor required.
Why timing matters when Clearing opens in Nottingham
Nottingham is one of the most popular Clearing destinations in the UK. The city is home to two major universities, which means thousands of last-minute applicants compete for the same purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) in mid August. Central Nottingham rooms tend to be taken quickly after Results Day. The students who phone or message first secure the best room types in the best locations. Anyone who waits a few days will find their options shrink.
Talbot Street and Triumph House Clearing Checklist

- Call or WhatsApp Study Inn within the first hour. Rooms move fast.
- Send proof of your offer, either a UCAS screenshot or your university confirmation email.
- Sign your tenancy agreement online. No in-person visit required.
- You can move into Talbot Street any time from 12 September 2026, or Triumph House from 18 September 2026.
Where students live in Nottingham as a Clearing student
Most undergraduates in Nottingham live in either Lenton, which is popular for traditional student house shares near the University of Nottingham, or in the city centre, which is the smarter choice for Clearing students because it puts you within walking or short transport distance of both UoN and NTU, along with all the nightlife, supermarkets, and transport links. Study Inn operates two properties in central Nottingham, Talbot Street and Triumph House, which means you are never stuck in one corner of the city.

What to check before signing any Nottingham student accommodation contract
Clearing moves quickly, but you should never sign anything without checking these five points first.
- Are bills included? Many cheaper-looking Nottingham PBSAs add bills as separate charges. At Study Inn, utilities and Wi-Fi are included with no top-ups (residents arrange their own contents insurance).
- Is there a damage deposit? Study Inn charges no damage deposit, only your first month of rent at booking.
- Do you need a UK guarantor? Most halls require one, which is a problem for Clearing applicants under time pressure. Private student accommodation Nottingham providers like Study Inn waive this requirement for Clearing.
- What is the cancellation policy? Always check that you can cancel if your university place falls through after acceptance.
- Is there on-site staff? This matters if you are moving in mid-August before the city fills up. Study Inn has 24-hour on-site staff at every property.

Why students choose Nottingham
If Nottingham was not your first choice, here is some perspective worth considering.

Both run Clearing operations every August and provide welcome programmes for students who arrive through Clearing.
