Newcastle University Reviews

Good uni which given me a massive academic support and developed my skills for future career.

Djcn. Fix k cv. Cvvv cvvv cvvv c.

for some reason our eduroam doesnt work at other unis? the students union isnt great- not many people actually go and spend time there. still a lovely uni tho and glad im here

Uni life at Newcastle is a fantastic experience and I would recommend it to anyone looking to come to the city.

Beautiful campus and good facilities

Good place to study But poor accomudation at the View

Not only is the student life enjoyable, but it is also a place where you will be challenged and pushed to your limit

I didn't particularly enjoy my time at Newcastle, feeling more like a number than a student with little in the way of support for those who struggle to keep up and find the balance between work and home life

Good place to study. Careers service is friendly but i did not find their advice helpful

Students Union was good for food and that's about it, the facilities were poor compared to other universities I have visited and the people in charge of running the union were not professional when it came to resolving issues especially with a society I was involved with where they defending students for sending threatening emails to our committee just because the emails were defending someone who had been insulting at one of our events by someone we had no control over.

You could not get a better package anywhere else! Career, Sport, Nightlife and amazing people - it’s all right there!

Just finished my first year; everything was excellent with the slight exception of the accommodation.

AmaZingly welcoming and top quality teaching staff in a great location!

Decent uni. Worst student union known to man

Great experience from a great university

Amazing university, all staff are friendly and are so are the students

A very modern and well equipped uni with lots of opportunities.

Newcastle is the perfect mix of a campus and city uni!

Amazing, friendly university. Lots of things to do and places close by to visit e.g. the beach

Amaaazing, really can't imagine going anywhere else. The people are lovely, so many chances to socialise and a lot of funding for societies so a variety of activities available. Loads of study space such as Philip Robinson Library, Marjorie Robinson library rooms, Law Library, Med Library, Old Library building etc. and with lots of study rooms across campus. Sometimes the wifi messes up for a few hours a couple of days a year but that really is the only downside.

Overall Newcastle Uni is a great place with a lot going on. It is central to the city centre and is a lovely campus to look at. The SU has places to eat and grab a drink, it is a really chilled out environment and excellent for meeting for study groups etc.

Actual star rating: 1/5 - Lots of sex (and cheating) and nightlife goes on here. - My course - biochemistry - was boring as hell. Yes, every single lecturer was boring. About 20% of the class pays attention. Lots skip lectures. Only one lecturer was boring but explained things well. It's just not worth it. I hated my time here. The course is a load of crap for 22k pounds. Jesus, if one hour of self study did more for me than the 5 hours of sitting through lectures, then I really have to ask myself what the **** I'm doing here. All I'm doing is seeing people get drunk literally every day, whilst I spend the same amount as the lectures I just attended, rewatching them on recaps to understand better, at half speed because the goddamn mic is so awful and the lecturer doesn't know how to separate speaking to a colleague and a student. - Also it's frustratingly harder to find people who don't just want to get drunk and s******** everyday (not joking people party everyday here).

Fun and not overcrowded place to study. Great lecturers. The university gives great opportunities for further research as well.

The Wi-fi occasionally disconnects, and despite the great quality of societies I think freshers fair and other big events should be more greatly advertised.

Great university with so many things to do! Careers service has been amazing and actually got me a mock interview. Honestly there's something for everyone here

Great uni with fantastic staff and buildings, very supportive, just a question of whether 9k a year is worth it.

Great University that offers the whole package to its students

Absolutely love Newcastle university

Wifi always available, contact with students from staff isn't great

Solid university with good social support

While the campus facilities and Wi-Fi are fairly ideal, especially the libraries, the social aspects of the university and its Student Union - much like with many universities - are overtly political, in many cases, with some non-political societies excluding members who don't agree with their views. This politicism has infected the Student Advice Centre, who will often respond to problems (for example, in housing) in a brash and aggressive - rather than reconciliatory - way; placing student and landlord in the roles of proletariat and bourgeoisie respectively, and recommending that students take legal action to confront perceived injustices. The Careers Service claims to be accessible, but reality often differs, as students are required to be very specific as to exactly what service they need. Otherwise, they get recommended to simply attend a bunch of workshops.

Love it. Good social life , cheap drink and food and most places are within walking distance.

a nice university! friendly, nice area and lots to do!

I really enjoy being part of sport societies.

Such a fantastic uni with a beautiful campus and loads of activities

Great university, everything is relatively close by with the city being right next to the campus. Societies are welcoming and a lot of fun.

Best university ever. Anyone that says otherwise is a damn liar

Fantastic city to live and study in

The SU is very good - it's ran by students so most of the things you want to do, you can do it. They have a good bar and Domino's and a Subway on campus which is useful, but I haven't used a lot of the services available so I can't comment.

Great uni experience so far in the best city in the UK

Great campus and SU but awful IT service desk for managing the internet. Internet provider is Janus and Janus is notorious for managing to break things or be on the receiving end of a DDoS attack.

Pretty much flawless all around! Only main issue is the internet. Although there is free internet all around the campus, their VPN blocks out the use of Steam and my Wii U and 3DS cannot connect to it either. Otherwise, I cannot complain.

Great atmosphere and facilities.

best uni ever, don't know what its like unless you experience it

I love Newcastle University and the city and the campus and the people... It's just awesome. Couldn't be happier!

Everything is great except there is no Harry Potter society

Good location close to city centre

The gyms not very big at the sports centre and a silver membership seems to be pretty pointless

the overall campus experience is great. Such pretty building with great facilities, starbucks , dominoes and Santander in the union is a massive perk.

So happy with my time at newcastle. Great city, love the campus, so much going on. Would recommend to anyone.

Newcastle is an aight university

Very supportive university, that tries to help you advance your career in every way. We get a lot of career advice and are taught some career skills as part of our course (Psychology). They have some really interesting societies here like Mind the Gap where mental health issues (in the political sense etc.) are discussed. Internet sometimes stops working on my phone but only for a minute or two when I'm walking around campus, not at home. The SU has a little shop with some food and stationary and other things you could need as well as Newcastle University jumpers and other Newcastle clothes. They have a Throwback party every Saturday at the SU and I think other stuff as well.

Internet everywhere, Su js okay but other than that its pretty standard

Everyone is friendly - the student union is always looking for ways to accommodate students whether that's for studying, hanging out during the day or nights out. Awesome city, plenty of shops and stuff to do for everyone.

Having the time of my life, I could not think of a place I'd rather spend my university years. Loving my course, the staff are great and really helpful, There is a society for just about anything and the student services are fantastic. On top of that, the social side of things are great, the union is always fun and has a great atmosphere, plus the society socials take place in one of the best nightlife cities in the UK.

Walking through campus with a nice hot coffee is the best thing on any autumn day. It's so beautiful! Especially at sunset. If you're round at sunset, take a look at the King George VI building.

A lot of student support, a huge range of societies and clubs and right in the center of town for all your clubbing and shopping needs!

Amazing experience, lovely people and great social life!

Best Uni for sure it has an excellent academic and social side to it

so much to join and do, you can do as little or as much as you want! campus is easy to navigate with lots of study facilities and coffee shops to keep you awake!

Newcastle university is great for students with student facilities of the highest standard

The university is perfect in every way you want it to be.

Newcastle is everything I've always imagined university will be like - excellent facilities,social life and beautiful red brick architecture. Campus is conveniently located right in the city centre and yet somewhat separate from the rest of the city, surrounded by parks and greenery.

Newcastle is everything I've always imagined university will be like. It's got a lively social scene,excellent facilities and, of course, the beautiful red brick architecture.

Best Uni I could possibly choose

Everyone is really friendly and helpful. Very cheap and great for student living.

A great university! Great atmosphere and very friendly city!

A university located in a city which is build for students.no need for public transport everything is a 10 minute walk away best night life in UK with the lowest prices

Great uni, and cheap sports tickets from the SU is fantastic!

Great mixture of people from every background you can think of, amazing nightlife and great opportunities for careers and education.

It has the most amazing buildings and so much greenery, even though it's in the middle of the city. It's simply amazing about everything.

A lovely place to stay and study!

Well equipped facilities and university situated right in town, making everything extremely convenient. Greatest student city

I love Newcastle! Everything about it- the uni, the city, the people, the clubs, the shops, the fast food, the parks, the buildings, even the singing homeless people! It has the best parts of everything; campus is quite central, the city center has a huge variety of shops, the union facilities are great and the Robbo library is huge and modern (if you can get a seat during exam period that is!) The architecture is amazing too, the campus and city are a great mix of modern and old that somehow fits! It's beautiful on a sunny day (which is quite rare for most of the year in Newcastle!) The nightlife is legendary, so many pubs, clubs and treble bars to choose from, and there's always different nights on during the week! You can boogie at swingers, bop to techno at cosmic, jive to soul & disco at Off the Record or rock out at Rebel. Digi(tal) and the O2 academy also mean that lots of big names hit Newcastle on weekends! I'd definately recommend Newcastle to anyone!

There's no swimming pool which I don't think is good considering it's a prestigious university. We need more societies dedicated solely to the consumption of alcohol. We shouldn't have to pay over five pounds to get into our own student union for a night out. When you consider I pay less to go into better unions at other universities for half the price of that at Newcastle it's a bit of a joke. There should be a scheme that allows students to buy a pass at the start of the year to enable free annual entry in addition to other benefits such as free plus ones. That said, the campus is very well kept and it's a nice place to be.

Good City, Nice campus, a few of the accomodation options disappointing, not as high standard as i was expecting but on the whole "very good".

Best decision I ever made was going to Newcastle University!

best uni in the country, unreal nightlife
