Newcastle University

I couldn't recommend Newcastle enough! The nightlife is second to none - I've danced on the stage at the O2 dressed as a unicorn and been to the Freshers Zoo dressed as I tiger! I have been taken to St James Park for a VIP tour to meet the players! Everyone here is so friendly and welcoming! I had a small complaint about the door in my room, and within 24 hours a friendly maintenance man came up to fix it, then hoovered up after himself! Im disappointed on the days where I don't have a lecture because my course feels like my hobby! I'm in love with the toon!

It's really fun! Freshers was exciting with loads of events and now lectures have started and while they're more intensive that A Levels, theres plenty of support provided if needed and lecturers give advice on additional reading! It's great!!

Really enjoyable freshers week. Good, cheap nightlife and lots of activities to do if you bought the SU wristband Really nice flats. Sharing with 7 others. En-suite bedroom with 3/4 width bed and really close to the centre Medical school library is fab, lots of different study spaces and a little cafe. Good sports facilities however quite expensive without a membership Very well structured with early clinical exposure throughout 1st year. Very knowledgeable tutors and all lectures recorded. Very vibrant! Lots to do and see as well as good nightlife. There's a massive range of shops and cafes as well as bars and clubs. The metro is also really easy to use to get around.

I love this university, the lecturers are well knowledgable and really inspire us and try to keep us interested. Lecture halls are a good size with great facilities on site. I feel much more enriched and motivated at this university than when I was at school, or my previous university which was a real let down, but helped me to see how much this place has to offer.

Intense but amazing, had lectures but tonnes of event planned as well, bit of blur in best way! Variety of accommodations but most are fairly new and nice! Medical school facilities are brilliant, loved being able to use the clinical skills, dissection room.s and library as part of my study! I really enjoy how mu course is set out. Information is built.on and slowly builds up our core skills! Newcastle had such a great night life, but also many other things to do. Also love having so many green spaces so close by!

Freshers for me was really good. I met a lot of people on my course who also lived in my accommodation so we walked to uni together all of freshers week and every day after. Then nights out we're really good but I recommend not buying a freshers wrist band as many people had them and didn't use them so it's a huge waste of money. I loved my accommodation it was about a 20 minute walk from the uni. It had a Tesco express joined onto it which was really handy. I met so many people that lived in my accommodation on my course which was perfect. I love the libraries. There's on in particular that is nice and modern and has a lot of study space. The student union is really good. They constantly have events going on and freebies to get. They do jobs fairs and things like that which are really helpful. The gym is also really nice and has recently had a huge refurb I love that my lectures were always recorded and so if I missed one due to illness or sleeping in I could always catch up. My course is split up into reasonably sized modules and so the work load is a manageable. I also love that lecturers for the course are always happy to help with anything if you go and knock on their door. Newcastle is my favourite city I've been to. The people are always so friendly. I love the shopping. There's a great range of restaurants and night clubs. The quayside is also really nice. Theres a beach and also Jesmond dene which is really nice for a walk.

Compulsory lectures clashed with daytime activities. Some people avoided nights out to make it to 9am compulsory lectures. Overall, the uni hosted events like Sigala night which were very fun and I made a lot of friends through such events that I speak to even today.

Their latest accommodation, Park View Student Village, is amazing! Lots of people doing different subjects and from different countries and parts of the UK, all living in one area made for an interesting experience. Friends are a mere 2 min walk away and it is also very close to the Medical school.

The libraries are amazing, cosy and very student-friendly. The classrooms are spacious although some lack power outlets which is a pity. The SU bar is simply amazing and with food outlets like subway, domino’s and the latest SHIJO at the SU, student life at Newcastle is simply convenient!

The course structure is amazing and the spiral curriculum enriches one’s knowledge through a step by step process. There’s very early clinical experience and patient contact. Unlike other universities, Newcastle although emphasises on communication skills and ethics early on.

The night life is the highlight of Newcastle: from a chilled pub night at spoons or a busy (and sweaty) night out at soho, NCL offers it all! Even during the day there’s so much the city offers. A walk to the quayside is more than just therapeutic, it also gives the opportunity for a plethora of instagram worthy pictures to be taken.

If you miss a lecture they’re all available online on recap. Seminars are compulsory so you should try your best to attend them since professionalism is monitored from early on and accumulation of PIN points raises concerns. Importance of attire is taught early on too during clinical skills sessions. There’s a dissecting room for learning anatomy on cadavers and all these rooms can be booked for personal use in addition to the timetabled sessions.

Freshers week was a very positive experience. There was a good mix between learning about the course structure and content whilst allowing you to meet your fellow course mates. The university put on numerous social events which were a great opportunity to meet new people and get involved in new activities. Additionally, there was plenty of student reps on campus during the week to help you whenever needed. Newcastle University provided a wide range of accommodation varying in price to cater for all. Plenty of choice from catered/non-catered, shared bathroom/en-suite, shared kitchen/studio. Accommodation staff and cleaners were always very friendly and polite. Facilities were up to date and of high standard. Plenty of computers available to use. Lots of independent/group study rooms are situated throughout the campus which are bookable - I found this particularly helpful during exam times. Facilities were always kept clean. In biology I was able to choose from a wide range of modules, this meant I could study areas which I was interested in. There was a good mixture between independent work, group projects and laboratory time. Lecturers were passionate about their subjects, which came across in the lectures making them more engaging. Newcastle was an excellent city, plenty of shops, restaurants and bars. Metro service was good enabling you to travel around the city quickly.

it was class i love every moment, all the events were cheap and you got to meet loads of new people plus all the introduction lectures where super intreseting. My favourite part was the trebs

Its pretty nice but too expensive £134 and week. I love having an ensuite ive never had one before so thats amazing. The desk is good i have loads of space to work plus the bed is a double and very comfy.

Theyre great the library is huge but always busy so i prefer going to the majorie. The lecture theaters are okay i prefer the bigger ones. The SU bar is great the pints are so so cheap and it has loads of places to work in the SU

I love my course, i love the range of modules you can pick so you can actually choose what youre intreseted in plus you get a free trip away. The lectures are great i only have 7 hours a week its class

Well its Newcastle its known for having an amazing night life all the nights are cheap entry or free and the drinks are so cheap so thats always great fun. During the nice its good the shopping isnt the best but the Quayside is lovely.

That its not just physical you only actually take 1 module in first year then you get to choose what ever you want the next years. The trips are basically free and go to nearly every continent. Youre able to get loads of jobs its not just for teachers. Also we have a whole module to make sure we get graduate jobs theyre so supportive and actually teaches us what we need to know.

Freshers week was incredible. Met loads of new people and had really fun experiences. The night life was simply amazing Accommodation had a really good social aspect as there were so many students. Really nice facilities and very modern Lecture theatres were very modern and the library is very good. The gym was severely lacking but this was due to building work on a new gym. The student union has some good stuff in it but the student union bar could be massively improved The course is very interesting and has very valid applications to the real world. Lectures were very interactive and lecturers were very engaging. The seats in lectures were also very comfy which helped when having long lectures City life in newcastle is exceptional. Very vibrant city with lots going on. Loads of great restaurants and too many class clubs to count
