English Literature degrees in Newcastle

I like how everything is on campus, convenient, I love the study spaces available at varying levels of quietness. The student union is cheap but could do with a bit of updating. I like the assessments we are given, a variety like presentations and essays writing blogs however the feedback could be more informative. I definitely miss home more than I thought so I wish I had chosen a closer uni most of my friends are off campus which makes the weekends and evenings lonely.

The university lacks greenery, despite being next to it's own park there's rarely greenery near campus. The university had prospects of a roof garden yet it's barren and dying and in an inopportune location to access. There's much more room for opportunity for a garden outside of the vegan "Vert café" on the sixth floor which is more likely to get volunteers from a community who focuses highly on greenery. The art building, despite being an art building, startling lacks art and colour. Aside from scarce photos the building feels very stagnant. The allowance of more murals (see the sixth floor's Game of Thrones mural for reference) would brighten the building up, as well as larger art on the outside as proposed in the newly released render of the new park layout. As a student who lacks roof access I cannot comment on whether the uni has renewable solutions for energy such as solar panels (though some are visible in BD for testing) but the inclusion of more renewables would be a very welcome sight.
