Career services could be better, Enjoying my student life,
Compared to my home university, I much prefer and enjoy my time here! Being able to view the lecture slides before class helps give me the gist of what to expect for class. The practicals are more hands-on and they have all of the facilities I could never expect. The campus is so wide and to go from A to B can be tiring but so fun as it gives me a chance to exercise but it’s not as fun when my next class is far away from my current class lol
Haven't really used the careers but there seems to be a lot of opportunity. The campus looks really nice and the location is very good internet is mostly good but some places in the library some of my devices like my laptop can't connnect but my phone can so it might just be me. I live in Portland so I don't go SU much and neither do my friends in Bernicia as apparently the spoons is more expensive so I'm not too sure about it. The clubs and socs are rlly good there's tonnes and they're very good.
Good place and really close to centre
Overall pleased with the university; I feel like there is nothing more to add than the automated msg with the starred review.
Really social, wide range of societies and a lot of affordable events on.
I love studying pharmacy here.
The main campus is gorgeous, there are so many societies to choose from and there’s lots of resources to support students.
Very good experience. Friendly managers.
Newcastle University has been a fantastic experience. I have been able to unlock opportunities such as placements and internships I never thought I would be able to do. Thank you so much!
I like my university because it’s in a great city
Good university, very welcoming
Newcastle is an amazing university with staff that care and an amazing support service.
So far I am loving university. Great opportunities and meeting great people.
Great place to be at . Enjoy clubs
From my time studying physics I can say that both the staff who run and teach the course go to great lengths to make the university the best experience for students at all stages. Furthermore, the clubs and societies offer events for all people so there’s no pressure to drink. I’ve really enjoyed my time here and I can assume my experience here applies to whatever field you study and which extracurriculars you take.
Lovely uni good facilities and lecturers
Lovely, well-kept campus with friendly staff. However, access to resources and contact information for certain faculties could be more easily accessible.
Nice location and multiple libraries, which is really helpful for studying. Overall a good university.
Pretty sweet place to be all in all.
I love being at Newcastle University it has lived up to all expectations
Everything so far has been excellent in Newcastle , they’ve been very supportive and the facilities are excellent
The uni itself is very nice, all the accoms are semi close together meaning if you want to visit friends in other areas, it’s not too much of a trek! Newcastle is definitely great for having a whetherspoons as its student union bar, it’s always filled with people which brings a sense of community and is quite nice! The nightlife is amazing here and you always bumb into people you know! The internet is okay, sometimes switches between 2 different routers and one can be slightly slower.
good facilities to aid studying. A range of societies and activities to take part in. all areas have strong wifi when eduroam wants to work
Slightly disappointed with the amount and level of contact time we receive. Lots of the first year content seems like a recap of A Level and feels like a bit of a waste of time. The library is okay. although always crowded. The campus itself is pretty and well maintained.
My experience so far here at Newcastle University has been very positive, full of social and professional opportunities. I have found it easy to make friends, go out nights out and join clubs and societies. My course has been very practical, as well as many academic curricula's that have completed my experience.
Market House is a really good student accommodation in the heart of Newcastle. The location is ideal — right in the city centre with easy access to shops, food places, and public transport, and it’s convenient for getting to uni. The building is modern and well maintained, and the rooms are comfortable with good facilities. The communal areas are a nice bonus for studying or socialising. Staff are friendly and helpful, and overall it feels like a safe and supportive place to live. Would recommend to students looking for a central location.
Really good university, with excellent facilities and clubs/societies.
The flat is close to the city centre and the front desk staff were very nice!
Great uni and great night life.
Newcastle university is great. I do really enjoy the campus and the variety of food places within, I just have not personally engaged enough to fully comment on certain aspects, such as having no clue what the student union truly does
Northumbria University is very student-focused and I feel as though you can truly see this as a student through the events they create, educational resources they promote (whether is about physical health or mental health services or job opportunities). The internet is more unpredictable at coach lane campus as it is an older building I suppose.
lovely campus really enjoy it!
Brilliant couldn’t be more happy with my choice of university. I love it and would encourage others to come here.
Newcastle is fun and friendly, with a fantastic, respectable university - the full package.
I like Northumbria however the wifi is difficult to access and I have to travel to coach lane for my lectures which is quite inconvenient and takes a big chunk out of my day. The free bus does help with this though.
Tends to be alot of social events and things to participate in however I do have issues with wifi and connection around some parts of campus
Amazing, every need and more. Definitely recommend
all amazing, only had 1 full semester so far so cant say alot for things like the careers service
It’s a very friendly university and there’s not really much to complain about
As I’m at coach lane campus I feel like the SU could be doing a lot more as I hear at city campus they are always doing lots of stuff
The northumbria experience has been good
Overall really good, a great university.
I have had a lovely experience staying at The Bridge Abodus apartment. I once experienced a shower blockage and sent an email to the maintenance team by 7am. To my surprise, by 10am they were already at my door. I was overwhelmed, as I expected it might take two to four days, but they proved me wrong with their prompt response. Whenever I receive a parcel, I get instant messages from Abodus, which I really appreciate. In fact, through my recommendation, two of my friends are now staying at Abodus. I would happily recommend it to others.
The overall experience and campus environment is friendly and supportive.
Good experience so far, enjoying my time on campus
Good university facilities, wifi is often a little painful to connect to

Newcastle University offers a great overall student experience with strong teaching, modern facilities, and good career opportunities. The campus is well located in the city, and student life is vibrant, with lots of societies, sports, and a friendly atmosphere.

Great university - amazing social life and helpful university staff.
Good location and very soothing nature
Moving to Newgate has been a true blessing, from the incredible staff and the top notch facilities, I am grateful everyday I get to live here. A massive mention to Amber, who has stood out in many departments, she is a wonderful person, she has been friendly since the second I walked through the doors and is always available to help when necessary. She truly has made Newgate feel extra special and homely, she is loved by so many! Another mention to Maha, a welcoming and friendly face, it truly makes all the difference.
Decent do, nights out are pretty top tier tbf
Best location really good rooms and modern bathroom, really nice staff especially Amber at the front desk, couldn’t recommend more
perfect campus and lovely to be around. always feels safe
It’s a very nice experience for me
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!
