I had the pleasure of staying at Oxford House during my time as a student, and I can confidently say it was one of the best accommodation experiences I’ve had. One of the standout features of Oxford House is the amazing staff – especially Claudia. She was always approachable, kind, and incredibly helpful. Whether it was handling a maintenance request, answering questions, or just being a friendly face around the building, Claudia went above and beyond to make everyone feel supported and welcome. Her genuine care and professionalism really made a difference during my stay.

Newcastle University has a great mix of quality teaching and a fun student life. The campus is right in the city, so everything’s easy to get to. Lecturers are mostly supportive, and there are loads of societies and events to get involved in, whether you’re into sports, culture, or just meeting new people. It’s a good place to balance studying with social life, and the city itself has a really welcoming vibe.
Winky and Yaoli were the most reassuring presence in the student accommodation. They treated every student with kindness and care, handling everything from small tasks to urgent issues with dedication. To me, they were more than staff – they were like friends and guardians. I sincerely thank them and wish them happiness and success in everything ahead!
Yaoli and Winky are so enthusiastic, whenever I have any questions, they always solve them actively.
Great place to study. Full of resources
当然可以，以下是一篇约200字的中英文好评，表达对学生公寓接待处两位员工的感谢： ⸻ 在我在学生公寓居住期间，Winky 和 Yaoli 两位前台工作人员给予了我无微不至的帮助和支持。无论是邮件的接收、维修问题的反馈，还是日常生活中的各种疑问，她们总是耐心、专业且高效地为我解答。每次走进Reception，她们都以亲切的笑容迎接我，让人感到安心与温暖。特别是在我搬入和搬出期间，她们提供了许多实用的建议并协助我顺利完成了各项流程。我由衷感谢她们的辛勤工作与细致服务，她们的存在让整个公寓充满了温度与归属感。衷心祝愿她们今后一切顺利，工作愉快！ ⸻ During my stay at the student accommodation, I received tremendous help and support from the receptionists, Winky and Yaoli. Whether it was collecting parcels, reporting maintenance issues, or answering daily questions, they always responded with patience, professionalism, and efficiency. Every time I walked into Reception, I was greeted with a warm smile that made me feel truly welcomed. Especially during my move-in and move-out, their helpful advice and assistance ensured a smooth experience. I sincerely appreciate their hard work and thoughtful service — they bring warmth and a true sense of home to this residence. Wishing them all the best in the future!
I would like to thank LU at the reception for her excellent service. She is always friendly, patient, and helpful whenever I need assistance. Her warm attitude truly makes a difference and creates a welcoming atmosphere in the building.
Ms. Lu is an exceptional receptionist in our dormitory. She is always friendly, professional, and very helpful. Whether it’s checking in packages, handling maintenance requests, or answering our questions, she always does it with a warm smile and great efficiency. Her presence makes our living environment more comfortable and welcoming. We truly appreciate her hard work and kindness!
Overall I had a positive experience with Northumbria University
The professors are all very good and there are abundant learning resources. However, the failure rate is even higher than that of the top 100 universities in QS. Most students will fail several courses. Moreover, there are three offline exams in International Business Management, which are just handwritten papers. There is absolutely no need for this. For students whose native language is not English, the pressure is extremely high and their learning mindset is very frustrated.
I love Newcastle uni, sometimes wifi doesn’t work but other than that, i couldn’t fault it
An average university that somehow belongs in the Russell Group. A lot of strikes (which I support the cause of) and an awful lack of response to these strikes from the higher ups.
Having a great university experience so far 🕺
Great university, have studied here for all of my degrees. Lots of facilities and workshops to help develop skills and career. Wifi can be connected across campus, and various different study areas to suit different needs. Good food options on campus, and overall really enjoyable experience.
Campus is a nice environment that feels appealing to study in. Buildings are easily accessible and there are many study spaces for all preferences. Straightforward to contact staff and ask questions. Platforms are ok to navigate and WiFi can be connected to across campus.
this place is flipping awesome
Had an amazing flat and made friends for life
Pretty good overall! lots of opportunities
Super friendly staff! Everyone's really accommodating & quick to address any issues you have. Location might be far from centre but you've got a few stores nearby like iceland/tesco & halal shops!! Great amenities & price. :))
There was a huge strike, as a international student who is paying more than twice time as home student I really felt like wasting money. Also heating was not working for a while which makes me unproductive when I’m in uni.
Good university, a few issues with accommodation and power going out in the kitchen but quickly resolved
I’ve been here for a year now. Very nice staff and the careers service is top notch! Tons of opportunities to grab if you keep an eye out!
Excellent uni and environment. Staff are lovely as well
As an international student I felt this is the best choice of my life to choose Newcastle University. The Infrastructure the kindness the helpful nature I felt is the best in my life. I can give overall 10 out of 10 for everything.

V good. Nice experience in Newcastle.
Good location to the town centre and to Northumbria university. Active social life at the accommodation and always kept clean and tidy
"Living here has been an absolute game-changer! From the moment I moved in, the staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, always ready to assist with any questions or issues. The rooms are modern, well-designed, and spotlessly clean, providing a comfortable and conducive environment for studying. The communal areas, including the common room and gym, are fantastic for socializing and unwinding after a long day. The location is perfect, with easy access to the university, shops, and public transport. Overall, it offers an outstanding student living experience, and I wholeheartedly give it a 5-star rating!"
