Northumbria is a good uni. It has such a wide variety of clubs and societies, and every one is very friendly so you dont have an excuse for not joining. You name it, there is a society/club for it. The Students Union is to die for, it has all great facilities in it. The drinks are at a reasonable price, and there is a lot of student crowd. You can also relax at the Students Union, have a quick snack in between the lectures or just have a drink and enjoy with friends.
