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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
