University has been one of the best decisions that I’ve made in my life. It’s taught me so many things, not only educationally but also socially. Before starting uni I was shy and would hardly leave my house, however now I’ve got a group of new friends that encourage me to step outside of my boundaries and bring out the best in me.

They regularly hold jobs/placement fairs which helps you match yourself to the perfect job/placement, they have a wide variety of companies which attend.

I like the flexibility that you have and I like being treated like an adult and not like I’m studying.

Everyone is very friendly and they always create new; unique things to get everyone involved.

They are one of the best out there.

Newcastle is the friendliest city, and there is a lot so do here.

You feel welcomed and there are plenty of interesting societies to join.

The university offer a lot of support to their students, there are multiple people that you can talk to and issues are sorted out quickly.

I have had a great experience at northumbria university. I did my psychology degree here and then decided to do my masters because of how much I enjoyed myself. Teachers are great and people are very friendly.

Great contacts with employers. Different events provided such as mock police interview, key speakers, volunteering fairs to help decide what career you want to pursue. Lots of information available to students about different career options

Very friendly and down to earth. Helpful and approachable. Sometimes lectures are too heavily focused on power points rather than interaction which I find hard to engage.

The student union is great for younger students, however, I don't get involved as much because I am a mature student and there is little events on for this age group.

Very good facilities. Library in particular is fantastic

The city life is very good. Friendly people and a beautiful place. Lots of things to do and sites to see. Also very cheap cost of living which makes it easier being a student.

Clubs are good, there are some nice local pubs around too which are very friendly and chilled out atmosphere.

Tons of support for students. Lecturers, tutors and the student union all guide and help you where they can. If they can't, they will advise you of where you can go.

Rag week is a great charity event northumbria do
