Newcastle

Newcastle is a fortunately laid out city. Its city centre is small and easy to traipse across and about. The metro system is a great asset also - easy to use and not too packed even at rush hour. Food is amazing at Newcastle with a massive variety of cafés and restaurants of all cuisines. There are also several good bloggers to guide you on where you should spend your hard earned student loan. Things to do: the main draw is going on a night out which we all know Newcastle is famis for. However when that gets tiresome, good alternatives include a karaoke bar, an ice skating rink and several dessert places. Shopping: Eldon Square, though varied and large, is claustrophobic with its low roof and tons of people milling around. And it’s sadly lacking in a Zara

Newcastle has everything you could need from a university city. It has strong night life, great food and plenty of activities. Many art galleries, 20 minute metro ride to the beach and surrounded by nature in further Northumberland

The university is centrally located meaning there are plenty of options for lunch, post-lecture bevvies and activities and shopping whenever you've got a free hour. The library is located conveniently near a metro stop and the union is very central. The town has loads of different things to do and variety of cuisines and being situated by the river makes for a beautiful backdrop to the Quayside Sunday Market which is food heaven. There are so many cheap food and drink deals, different shops and green grass areas. There is something for everyone. And the metro makes it easy to get around for a few quid!

Newcastle offers the perfect balance between living in a city with plenty to do, without seeming too big or too hard to get around. I am always amazed by the wide range of restaurants, bars and clubs the city has offering very cheap food and drinks.

Newcastle is an amazing location in terms of university, shopping, night life, food and tourism. Ernst is a must if you’re looking for something to eat!

Newcastle is very accessible as it has it’s own airport, which makes planning trips so much easier. It’s also one of the few UK cities to have a metro system, which is fairly decent and very convenient (it it runs to time). Otherwise; most important things within the city centre such as supermarkets, the cinema, shops, and even clubs are within walking distance from most student accommodation areas. It’s a very affordable city to live in.

Newcastle is a great city for students. There are many clubs for all types of music, making it great for nightlife, as well as there being many cheap student events through out the week. There is a wide variety of shops and restaurants to choose from, making it essential for everyone’s style of fashion and food. Transportation throughout the city is great and cheap, linking to both unis and the coast.

Love the location of northumbria so close to the city centre, housing is all very close too 10/10 yes laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaads

Newcastle is a busy city with something for everyone from family days out at museums and nature parks to wild nights on the 'toon'. The range of restaurants in the city centre is fantastic and there's a wide selection of cuisines from Italian to Thai to Turkish; all corners of the world are catered for. These restaurants range in prices from £10 per person to however much you want to spend, often depending on the area e.g. The quayside, or shopping mall food courts. That's another thing, boasting Intu Eldon Square and Intu Metrocentre, all shopping requirements are satiated. Newcastle night life is a huge part of the city's attraction too with bars like Soho, Livello, Jalou, The Empress, Flares and Powerhouse, all of which are marketed towards different tastes in drinks and music. There's a whole lot to do here.

Newcastle is an amazing place. It hosts many events and there's always something to do as clubs and some shops are even open past normal hours. There's a few beaches that you can visit just a £5 metro ride away where you can chill and see the beachy sights...even have fish and chips... (but just be warned the prices are steadily increasing.) In many places drinks are really cheap and food can be too. You just have to learn where to find the good places. Eg granger market. There are also a lot of gems in Newcastle to visit and maybe even snap a pic or two for instagram. Eg the botanist, graffiti by the sage, the quayside or one of Newcastle many bridges. Sick of Newcastle?... why not go to the metro centre or jet off at the airport (it's just a metro ride away too) great for international students who want an easy flight to and from home. You'll find everything you need and more in Newcastle.

The city as a whole is very student friendly. The metro service makes everything very accessible whilst being easy and affordable to travel around the city on a budget. In the city centre everything you could need is walking distance with a wide variety of clubs, bars, shops and restaurants to suit any occasion. The main clubs hold events and student based nights as well as deals on drinks therefore making the nightlife more affordable too.

Best city in the UK. Has everything you'd ever need. Best nightlife possible, beautiful scenery, and you're never too far from a greggs. Has the best support for a football team possibly in the world.

Newcastle is an amazing place to go to university! It had such a huge student population, with 2 large universities and many colleges in the area, that the city really is dedicated to providing a great 3 years for all students. Events vary greatly, so there is something for everyone. One of my favorite events is at the Wylam Brewery, where they do a battle of food, previous ones have been pizza, Mexican and Thai. They invite DJs and food trucks of local restaurants to take part in this battle, the atmosphere is great. But for people less outgoing, the Sage holds great concerts from less heard of musicians. There is so much going on from restaurant discounts to club nights, student shopping nights to dance classes in local cafes. I would not hesitate to recommend Newcastle as an amazing student city!

The nightlife in Newcastle is great. There's a wide range of clubs and bars that host all different kinds of music; truly something for everyone. In the day it's great to visit the Baltic art gallery, walk around Quayside, take a stroll through Jesmond Dene or even go to the beach. The shopping is also great, with a huge high street, Eldon Square and even the Metrocentre to choose from. There's endless fun to be had Newcastle whether it be in the day or night, all of which is incredibly accessible and affordable! It's a perfect city to be a student.

Living area is great lovely little cafes and live music pubs! Love the Cumberland arms! The town has a great range of places from a quiet drink to night clubs. One of the cheapest places to go for a night out as well also highly recommend beer Keller and the cut. Shopping is decent and always something to do from nights at the theatre to street shows.

It is a beautiful city where feels freedom walking every morning on the bridge, where the wind makes me happy and good humour

Newcastle is just a city which is amazing for any type of student. As there are over 50 restaurants to eat from in just the amazing shopping centre, and also having the best value for money for drinks wether they be alcoholic or not.

I love this city. As a student, getting good value for money is a must. Having travelled to places like London before, I wasn’t sure what to expect from another highly influential city. However, I was surprised to find that it’s extremely affordable to live here. The night life is one of a kind. Which plenty of pubs and clubs to offer, Newcastle’s nightlife truly is so much fun and different from anywhere I have experienced. Another thing close to my heart; food. Newcastle is packed with restaurants and food places - both affordable and pricey which a huge variety to choose from. Overall, Newcastle... I love you.

Very happening city with lots to do! A lot of promotion around to help you get involved in things and not to mention a cracking nightlife!

Newcastle is a great city to be a student in, there are plenty of things to do within walking distance of the university campus and there are a variety of places to eat whether you're going fancy or you want an incredibly cheap eat4lrss. Eldon square Contains lots of shops to get clothes or gifts and food too. There is also the metro centre nearby if Eldon square isn't enough. Newcastle also has great nights out for students and the city on a night is always lively with places to go out every night of the week and the taxis around Newcastle are very fast and very cheap making them ideal for student use.

Newcastle has some of the best shops, restaurants, pubs and clubs. Theres a high variety of each and a bit of something for everyone. Id highly reccomened

Newcastle is one of the best cities ive been to. Massive variety of food, shops, pubs and clubs! Always abit of something for everyone and you definitely wont be dissapointed.

All food, shopping, nights out are all within walking distance from campus! Newcastle is rated as number 1 as night out and undoubtedly agreed by students. Northumberland street literally right next to campus got everything u need from lunches, snacks and evening meals. High street stores all along with affordable clothing shops. Elden square got everything you need. Everything around newcastle is at reasonably price. If shopping isnt enough, a stroll down the quayside will see the most beautiful and relax part of the city.

I have really enjoyed living in Newcastle these past two years. There is plenty to do and it's the perfect student city.
