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.

Housing
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.

Academic
Course recommendations
this is an excellent course which runs on par with the MBA , the difference being students not having any prior work experience. i would recommend this course for those students who want to pursue a career in business operation coming from an engineering back ground, although must warn you , this course is extremely demanding.

Personal comments
definitely, i personally feel that this course should run for atleast 18 months than for just 12 months as it is now . i think we students are being overcooked, brainstormed what ever you call it.simply putting , too much pressure. apart from this not too many other suggestions.

Personal comments
Surprises not too many , i was expecting the place to be expensive anyway. cost saving tips include for smokers to get lots of cigaretters from elsewhere as in the UK duty tax is heavy.finding accommodation in the centre of the city for cheap makes travel expenses very less.find the right shops to buy things such as household , food stationary books so on.

Final comments
students having thoughts of travelling to Newcastle should be prepared for the expenses for atlest a year. other things include lots of woollens,and travel straight to Newcastle instead of a stopover at London as it doesnt cost a lot and its hassle free.for engineering students this university offers some excellent courses in communications and electronics and computers as well.so , i would give a thumbs up for Newcastle and Northumbria,hope this has helped somebody somewhere.
cheers,
