I’ve loved my university experience so far, I was disappointed to have not gotten into Newcastle university at first but I’m so glad I’ve ended up here. From the campus itself to lecturers and the people I’ve met from coming here

Especially for engineering, i think the facilities have been good. Through labs, I’ve had the chance to use all sorts of machines, 3D printers and all sorts of software on the computers

I’ve only ever really needed support from my academic tutors but they’ve always been more than helpful. Quick with responses and if they’re unable to help, are happy to point you in the direction of someone who can

I only really use the SU as a meeting point for after uni/in between lectures but I like that the food and drink is reasonably priced. Other than that, I don’t really know much about what goes on at the Student’s union. Apart from St Patrick’s Day

I love the city life. For all we’re pretty far up north, I love Newcastle as a city. It has lots of hidden gems and there’s always something going on.

From visiting the sports and societies fairs, there seems to be a really big variety of societies to join. Unfortunately I haven’t made the most of this, with having a job it’s difficult to get involved with that commitments

I like least that some lecturers just seem to read off the slides and give no extra information. I like most that the lecturers are readily available for support, reply quickly to emails and are happy to arrange meetings
