Norwich Guide

Welcome to Norwich – the City of Stories! Now it’s time for you to start yours.

Whether you’re brand new and this is your first term, or you're a seasoned student, this guide is here to help you make the most of your time in Norwich. The city has a bit of everything, a blend of old and new, with rich local history (like Julian of Norwich, who wrote the first book in English by a woman!) and loads of independent shops hidden away in the Lanes.

When you first arrive, I totally get that everything can feel unfamiliar and a bit daunting. I remember thinking the city felt massive, especially coming from a small town myself. I thought I’d need a map and a compass to find my way around. But honestly, I quickly found my way around, not just the campus but the city too with ease.

This guide will highlight the best spots for food and drink, as well as essential info on health and what to do when you’ve got a free afternoon. It’s your one-stop shop for everything student life, designed to help you settle into the city and start feeling at home.
