First gen student
The best aspects are numerous, My experience has been great so far as it is a well equipped university with everything a student needs to excel.
Modern and up to date with industry. Makes an effort too connect students to future careers, also helpful services provided on campus and online.
the university has lovely facilities however, the technology could be improved further.
Best aspect - Newcastle is a great city and the placement of university allows easy access into town. Worst aspect - Some lectures are too long so lose focus after a while.
Best aspects - nightlife in the city, general facilities on campus Worst experience - lack of support from dissertation supervisor (any questions I’ve asked have not been answered helpfully and any meetings I’ve discussed my dissertation in I’ve been told to make big changes with no guidance on how to do so/where to start with research or support).
i do like to study here
18-24 years
I think that the services was improved as much as possible but it would be grate to have more options of free meals in campus.
The best thing about this university is how friendly everyone is, and how easy it is to find your group of people. Something that can be improved at this university is having more green space around and available
The university campus and facilities are fabulous and state of the art. However, student support could be improved
Good student support from lecturers and the location of the university is easily accessible and in the city centre. Improvement in the amount of social events organised by the university, alongside more social spaces rather than study spaces on campus would be great.
The best aspect has been meeting all of the other people on my course and new people during freshers week. I think the worst has just been the amount of work and learning how to write essays correctly.
The location of northumbria is excellent and it has a very vibrant student life which everyone seems to really enjoy and get involved in. Newcastle is an amazing place to be for a student and everyone who goes to uni here seems to agree. there is so much to do both on campus and in the surrounding areas for students and it’s all very affordable compared to other places in the UK. being from northern ireland i found it so easy to settle in here even though id never been to england before and found it a very friendly place.
The newly refurbished library is really calming and a good place to study. The campus shop is really expensive tho
Northumbria university offers very interesting and varied modules. There is also a lot on offer outside of your studies, not only sports but also creative activities. 24-hour student support is available. Unfortunately, my student accommodation is very old. Apart from that, it's a great university in a lively student city.
The student support has been really good especially when it comes to accessibility
Close to home, easily accessible by public transport, welcoming feeling
Northumbria university is on the whole a welcoming institution filled with friendly staff and helpful academics. It is located in the centre of the beautiful city of Newcastle providing its students easy access to a wide variety of pubs, shops, and leisure activities. From an architectural standpoint some of its buildings are brutalist by design which I’m not personally a fan of. I think they would benefit from introducing more modern designs to buildings and statues to balance the traditional side of campus as well.
Best aspect is meeting new people from all walks of life and living independently. Uni offers a lot of services for mental health and general help relating to the stress of exams. They could improve by making the campus a little more inviting all year round, such as better lighting and seating areas. At the moment scenery is only focused on at christmas
