Sunderland

Overall great city to suit everyone. The busy city has plenty shops, restaurants and entertainment such as the the cinema. Also had a big football culture at a cheap price of around £10 a game for students. Several metros around Sunderland that will take you direct to the larger city of Newcastle in around 25 minutes. Around the outskirts of Sunderland are plenty beach’s such as roker, seaburn and seham. Loads of clubs opened this year giving you around 10+ options on a night out with music from techno to indie

An absolutely brilliant city. Everything you could ask for. Plenty of shopping, nightlife, restaurants, museums/art galleries, cinema, theatre - anything! All student halls are in walking distance from the city centre too.

Good value for money as it’s relatively cheap and you get good quality. Plenty of places to eat out with different places for you to choose depending on your budget. From the city centre, the travel is quite good and allows you to access the whole city either by bus or train which is quite convenient. Shopping in Sunderland is limited as the bridges shopping centre doesn’t have the biggest variety of shops, but you can access different places such as Metrocentre and the galleries from transport from the town centre.

The town doesn't have that many attractions within its city centre it has a few that are further out in the city however public transport to them is not available

Transport is brilliant, a great and comfortable way to travel around the city however most buses end at 11/12pm. Nights out are great and fun but most important cheap! Shopping is great, there are a range of different shops in the city center including a lot of big names, Topshop, primark, H&M, next and so on. There are a lot of different places to eat out all different cuisines. Sunderland is great for money, it is cheap place to eat and live. There is a lot of entertainment. Cinemas, bowling alleys, pubs etc. The best is the Stadium of Light where you can watch Sunderland AFC play.

Sunderland is a perfect student city. Local amenities include bars, shopping centre, restaurants and student accommodation. The weekend nightlife is very eventful and enjoyable, with various student friendly bars. There are plenty food places from fast food to restaurants. There is a variety of shops in the shopping centre.

Most restaurants within this town serve lovely fresh food with is usually for a good price. Your able to see a variety of things within this area as such as the Christmas markets where your able to see all sorts of things and purchase these things. If your wanting to see the latest movies there is also a cinema where your able to go catch them.

Above average night life and a short journey away from Newcastle if that's more to your style. Wide selection of restaurants and bars. Public transport is really easy to use and city isn't expensive.

Sunderland Is the perfect area for student! Everything is within walking distance, has a great shopping centre with a great amount of shops. beautiful park and beach nearby.

Sunderland is an artistic place. It lacks however cleanliness and enjoyable hospitality. A night out is fun and cheap in Sunderland however taxis are hard to be found. Sunderland centre is bright and colourful but could have many more shops than it does. Home if a large university it bring equality and diversity to all. Sunderland would be rather higher if it was abit more clean and friendly

I've lived in Sunderland for just over a year now and it's been an experience. There's a lot of misconceptions of Sunderland, I actually feel safer here than I do in Newcastle, I've never had any issues here. The shopping centre is really good with most of the shops you could need, a few good restaurants but I think there is space for a few more and obviously it has a good university.

I love Sunderland, best city in the world. Great food, great entertainment, perfect all the way. Been living here over 15 years and wouldnt change a minute of it

Newcastle night outs have been amazing with friends and family. Lots of bars with different settings, music, atmospheres which makes the night life more interesting. The shopping centre is amazing and open till late which gives allows more shopping time with lots of shops to choose from. A large variety of food courts which means that I have a range of restaurants to decide from to eat out.

One of the best things about Sunderland is the beaches and the sea. On top of that we have a nice view of the river Wear. In the city centre there is medium to small size shopping centre. Loads of small shops. At night there is loads of pubs, bars and clubs you can visit.

Living in Sunderland is pretty chill. There is a lot to do in the neighbouring towns too. With access to the Metro and bus services you're only about 20 minutes away from Newcastle which is much, much better. Sunderland has the River Wear where I have been magnet fishing recently, I managed to recover a bike! Although it was missing wheels, the seat and handle bars. I'm hoping I can get a free voucher so I can go to Amsterdam on the cheap, Amsterdam is a much nicer city than Newcastle or Sunderland - pro tip: don't take the boat.

The transport links in Sunderland make getting around pretty easy. Having a bus service connecting the campus’s and a metro system.

Excellent value for money and enough things to do, it can sometimes get boring if you're looking for a night out but there's easy and affordable access to Newcastle for that. And it's also easy to reach the metro centre for shopping. Plenty of food places, mainly cheaper takeaways but some expensive places too for a treat.

Sunderland is a small town which doesn't have lots of entertainment. However, if you looking for a budget place. It is a good choice.

The city doesn't offer much for students, and if does we aren't notified about it. Perhaps student offers or events etc anything really would be appreciated discountso at leasure facilities etc.

Sunderland is entered around the shopping centre, the bridges. a fair amount of shops are there. There is also a Tesco extra and a few other larger shops on the end of town near st.peters campus. there are enough pubs/clubs/bars for there to be a fun night out as well.

Its a small city, with nothing to much to see. For shooping Bridges is the right choose, it has some good shops such as topman, river island, primark, tkmaxx etc.

Sunderland is such a boring place. You can't find much activities and entertainments in town. The food is ok but dont have much choices. If you want to shopping, I would suggest that you rather go to Newcastle.

The location of my uni is amazing. Right next to the river wear and the campus and uni halls are very close. It is such a beautiful place to live and to be a tourist in.

Small town, poor jobs offer, good nights out and good university, the price of life it’s good but we don’t have a lot of jog offers
