Type of housing: Apartment/House

Arranged by: Independently - My choice

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House

Why? The same place as this , for convenience sake . This place located at the heart of the city. College is a 10 minute walk and most other things are very close as well.Considering the location, the rent for the apartment is reasonably cheap,couldn't have asked for more.

Personal comments:
Northumbria provides decent housing facilities for students. Though i havent had the experience of living in , but, some of my friends are and they find it very comfortable location wise, facilities and other things.The best thing about university housing is that one gets to meet people from other countries,cultures and gets to learn so much from different people.

Describe host city: Student life dominates the city

Activities, Travel: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment

Nightlife: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment

Personal comments:
well newcastle has the reputation of having one of the best night lifes around.There are some amazing night spots around where people can let lose and unwind and let go off themseleves.these folks around here sure know how to party and some of the events are really wild.best spots include dance city a night club and munchers a hang around place exclusive to students providing some ethinic food for very less. The university itself has a fanatastic bar which plays host to a number of events right through the calander. so , this is newcastle from a students point of view in the initial 2 months or so , but mind you i have a lot of exploring to do come some holidays.

Course recommendations:
The quality of teaching was not too good. Students were left to work on their own.

Personal comments:
Lecturers should add more effort to expose students into practical aspects of their course taught. This will link the theoretical knowledge acquired to the expectations in the labour market

Personal spending habits:
firstly , newcastle is a very expensive place comparitively.everything here is expensive but for ice creams which are surprisingly cheap.from rent to food to travel to fun activities very expensive.

Food, Travel, Nightlife, Overall, Housing: was more expensive than at home.

Telephone: was the same price as at home.

I wish I had known...
I wish i had know a bit more about the weather, Newcastle is a very cold place.I also feel i should have know about the study culture here with the course demanding a lot from students.

In my opinion:
Most people loved it.
