Sherwood: A Vibrant Suburb with a Village Feel

Further up from Carrington, Sherwood is a large and popular suburb with a bustling high street that gives it a real sense of community. It's a great choice for NTU students who want to live in a more 'normal' residential area while still having excellent amenities and transport links.
