Decent. I went on an exchange programme to atl last year which was the best year of my life. I couldn't have done that without Northumbria. My lecturers are wicked and I love my course

Some buildings could do with a lick of paint but the gym is amazing and the business school is snazzy

You can always email someone somewhere in the university who will be able to help, but the women at SASC are rude

I don't get involved but have been to some of their events which were good

Can be dangerous at night time, since bouncers are rude, but I suppose they put up with lots of 'lads' from the universities so they have probably lost their capacity for sympathy or understanding.

There should be more societies. The ones we have are good but there should be more

English teachers are always cool, so they're all cool and relaxed without being TOO relaxed. They put trust in you to get your head down, and always offer to help where it's needed

It has given me opportunities to attend job fairs, careers advice is always available and I have had a lecture about what to do after uni

Really nice, but very expensive. If you want to live somewhere nice you have to pay through the nose

The staff are incredible, unbelievably understanding and supportive. They want you to succeed and you can really tell. However, Lipman building is constantly broken. The top two floors have been out of service for year and now the entire building is out of commission and not expected to be back until the summer. Surely at this point just demolish the place.

The facilities are kind of non existent. Other departments get access to extra software/get to go on trips of some kind. It’d be nice if we had those options. Providing writing software like scrivener to students or hosting a writing retreat for 3rd years would be fun, and a good way to help students learn how these parts of the industry work.

It’s hard to get part time work unless you’re willing to stay over the summer and holidays.

I stayed in Winn in 3 years ago now and the price seems to skyrocketed since, but all of the accoms have. It was good back then, a nice enough place with en suites (a must at uni) and you could pick your exact room online and get an idea of who else was there. However, I do remember that you could mostly walk right in. You couldn’t get into any flats but you could let yourself into the building and courtyard easily. The courtyard door was broken and you could always just pull it open despite it needing a keycard.
