I’ve really enjoyed living at St James Point. The location is perfect close to everything, including campus and shops. The rooms are modern, spacious, and comfortable. The staff are friendly and always helpful, and there are plenty of great facilities, like a common and study areas. It's a safe and welcoming environment, and I’ve made some great memories here. Highly recommend for anyone looking for student accommodation!
It's really to stay here and iam enjoying
Newcastle University has been an incredible experience for me from the beautiful, modern campus that makes studying enjoyable, to the huge range of clubs and societies that helped me meet new people and explore my interests. The Students’ Union is always energetic, supportive, and full of events that make university life feel exciting. What really stood out to me is the Careers Service, which genuinely goes above and beyond with personalised guidance for placements and graduate opportunities. Overall, Newcastle has given me a supportive, vibrant, and inspiring environment to grow both academically and personally.

The best University in the world.
Amazing, the student help is so great having the time of my life fr
Great studying environment with even greater professors.
Not much clubs or activities for PG students. Could improve PG students university experience a little more. The library and its services are just top notch. Classes and support from the staff is also commendable.
The University is very good appreciate the Tutors they support in teaching but when it comes to socialising with friends kinda too much Racism
It’s a vibrant school in the sunny days. I think there is decent student activities but lacks open day.
Great experience so far at the uni
As an international student, I’ve had a great experience at Newcastle University Business School. The lecturers are supportive, the teaching is practical, and the campus feels welcoming. The Business School building is modern, and the city is safe, affordable, and very student-friendly. Highly recommended!
When I first arrived in the city, I had many problems with my luggage getting lost and my journey, but when I entered the university, all my worries and sadness disappeared because it was a very warm and welcoming university. I had and continue to have many wonderful memories. It is a university that values its students very much, you experience everything to the fullest.
I love the lectures and often use the facilities around campus including the gym regularly which is very well equipped and a lovely environment. I’m part of the trampoline club which has lots of great equipment too and is super friendly and chill. The students union provides free health products that are helpful and the campus is beautiful and clean.
amazing uni, city is kind of small but it’s okay
Everything has been very enjoyable and is going really well. I haven’t been able to fully take advantage of every feature the school offers yet, but everyone is very helpful and kind, so I don’t think there will be any problems. I definitely believe that I am receiving an educational experience that is helpful and instructive in many ways.
The university offers a good learning environment with modern facilities and a supportive community, though like social activities for international students, it has areas that could be improved cause international students will suffer more social loneliness more
Great facilities and support available
Its good, just wish wifi was better than what it is rn. Other than that it is lovely
Awesome. Like people, stuff, facilities. Feels like at home.
An outstanding institution that blends historic prestige with modern innovation. The Helix facilities are impressive, and the Career Service provides excellent support for graduates. It is a welcoming environment that fosters both academic growth and personal development.
Super easy to get to classes from different buildings. Staff and students are very friendly and super nice
The furniture in the room was damaged, but it was repaired quickly after I reported it
The school is fantastic. Everything is great
As an international MSc Finance student, my experience at Newcastle University has been genuinely fulfilling. The campus feels safe and student-friendly, and the support here has honestly surprised me in the best way. Whenever I needed help — whether it was about modules, attendance, or even personal tutoring — someone always responded quickly and made things easier. The facilities are modern, and the library has become my second home (I practically live in the quiet study rooms). The only small challenge is that during peak deadlines it gets packed, but that’s kind of expected. Overall, the environment feels warm, diverse, and very community-driven. Coming from India, I worried about settling in — but the university made the transition much smoother than I imagined.
Good supervision and staff go
Great university to be studying at
I am a third year student at newcastle university and also work at mcdonalds to pay for all of my needs, i find it difficult but also rewarding as it gives me the responsibilities that i need
Overall good experience would definitely recommend
Really love the campus, the events and the societies that made me feel more than welcome :)
I love the experience here , gaining new skills everyday
Of course, it's not always perfect—sometimes the Wi-Fi can be slow in the evenings, and you have to be proactive about cleaning up after yourself in the shared spaces. But these are minor issues in the grand scheme of things.
I am having a great experience at the university.
Great Uni, really nice professors, great clubs and societies to be part of.
Nowhere else I would rather study. Great university.
Excellent university, everyone is very welcoming, and they always make sure that you have everything you need to settle in. Very easy to ask for help, and the classes seem wonderful too.
It has been an amazing experience so far, the faculty, the resources, the campus, the student union.
I love the university as a whole. the facilities and the staff is are very helpful. overall i love the experience the univeristy is giving me.

It is way too much good than my expectations
The campus and accommodation both are really amazing I love the experience
Ok it’s not really anything spexial
3 weeks since I started my program in BEng International Year One in Mechanical Engineering. Good teachers and good centralised canvas so, which is great for self study to stay on top of the regular classes.
It's so good I came back for PGR and would love to work here in the future.
Amazing, literally couldn't fault NCL as a uni - the only issue I have is that, in some buildings, the wifi is sometimes a little unstable. This is why it only receives a 4/5 on my rating.
Generally has good and cozy study spaces.
A friendly place, lovely campus, lectures vary depending on the faculty - some engaging some not.
The campus is really lovely and kept up well- each building is unique and there are plenty of study spaces.
Good University. Love my course
I have enjoyed my time at Newcastle, I have felt supported academically and socially.
Overall, I have had a great experience with Newcastle University. There could be room for improvement in some areas; however, over the year, I have noticed gradual improvements and positive changes in various facilities.
