The location has been great for me being to close to Northumbria university and with Tesco nearby. It is a very social accommodation with lots of events happening, activities organised by reception have been a way to meet new people and socialise. Staff at reception are helpful and there for anything we need, maintenance has worked quickly. However in the actual social areas the pools cues are broken and there is only one of two meaning you have to share the cues which is not ideal. The tv and console is also not working properly, it’s honestly just there for show, and there is a couple board games on the shelves yet these are missing so many pieces there is no point. In regard to the general property cleaning the site is generally clean however there have been times where the lift in my block is unusable with how dirty it is, there was one time where sick had been left in the lift for many days and the smell was unbearable. There are also rats about in the courtyard which is gross. read more

Mechanical Engineering at Northumbria University has been a really positive experience overall. The course is well-structured with a good mix of theory and practical work, and the lecturers are supportive and approachable. There are great facilities and plenty of opportunities to get hands-on experience, which really helps build confidence and skills. read more

This uni doesn't care about its student or staff in the slightest. By treating its staff so badly they've been forced to go on strike which is massively impacting every student as we are now unable to learn or have any meaningful contact with our lecturers/ module leaders. Do not go to this university it is terrible! read more

One a first came, everything was very new and weird for me because of cultural shock but then there are alot of other international students as well so I met with them and understood that everyone feels like this when they are new but before even realising you will have friends and you will be enjoying your university life. read more
