Northumbria University is one of the best universities in uk because of it's location facilities courses diversity and many more.it is situated in the heart of Newcastle and it is one the the best place for student because it is cheap to live and got a big football club. Beach is also not to far from city. There are lots of historic and natural places to visit in this city. This city is also know as a city of university because this is the home of two universities Newcastle University and northumbria university
I love the location of the university and the social aspect of attending this university. I enjoy my course and believe that the lecturing and teaching is of a high standard. However, I believe that more could to done to help with the transition from college to university.
I love the fact that the library is 24/7, and there’s tons of extra support for students

I love how the location of the city is nearby the coast and there's plenty of things to do and explore. The support that I get from the staffs at the uni is really helpful in terms of giving me a range of options and they are very nice as well. For what could be improved in the uni, I feel like it would be either improving how the campus looks or continuing/improving the support they provide to all the students that's being affected with the cost of living in the UK whether it's the home students or the international students.

One of the best aspects is the location you are right in the city centre and so close everything you could want. The halls of residence can also be very close to the university and city or further away if you would prefer a quieter living situation. they also vary well in price allowing something for the everyone. The facilities on campus are new and modern and very well kept however some of the cheaper accommodations have leaks and mould which is not ideal. the campus itself however is perfect and very well organised and well run. student support within in the uni is very helpful and there are loads of different specialist support systems for whatever problem you are having. Student life is great as newcastle is a big city with lots to do and plenty of night life. studying here is well aided and you have lots of support and access to a large library and meetings with personal tutors if you are struggling. my only complaint for northumbria university would be the condition of some of the halls of residence.
Northumbria University and Newcastle business school provide fantastic student experience in the heart of Newcastle. With a focus on student practical 'real world' experience I couldn't be happier with my experience thus far on my degree program.
I will say the best thing in the uni is the students support as they care so much about there students and they are always there to help
I love it!
I like the free sports on offer
Provides everything you need, issues are sorted out quickly and incredible support from staff
Its great. Everything is perfect
worst aspects I would say is how quickly money can be spent here especially if you don't have a job, the best aspects is definitely the social lifestyle and how many friends you can make.

Nothing to comment on worst part but if provided free bus service from all uni accomodations to campus would be really great. library, study spaces and laboratories are exceptionally built.

The only concern is that the wifi signal is not as good as I expected to be
The libraries at the City Campus and Coach Lane Campus are my favourite places - they are so lovely and colourful and the Coach Lane Campus Library even has children's books which I love , the atmosphere in both of them is just wonderful and my favourite floor in the City Campus Library is the fifth one which is pink. I am really grateful that they have many of books and many floors with books and I've even found spooky books to read! But I think that the City Campus Library can improve by adding more books that are fictional and self-improvement books as I've seen that there is a lack of that ( the general fiction ones mainly ). I love how both Campuses look and the University gives us so many opportunities to both grow and have fun - it is a university that thinks about its students' needs rather than a university that is just there to give you a degree. This University has put in so much effort into creating a lovely, interesting place for all students to feel welcome at and motivated to excel - they have put in the effort to make this place give joy to students. I really like that there is free Counselling help for anyone who is experiencing any problem which means that the University really cares about our wellbeing. Something that I think could be improved is my other favourite place - the entry to the Podcast Room - unfortunately we cannot use both the Podcast room to record anything and the Filming room next to it as well, as equipment has gone missing. Overall, this University is not just about giving high quality education but about making each student feel lovely, motivated and safe to be themselves.
the facilities at my university are great and there is so much support on offer for so many different issues that students might be having. many of these support services are available 24/7 which is a huge help. the university could be improved by improving the wifi. sometimes students struggle to access the wifi even from inside the library and it sometimes make studying difficult. my university experience has also been hugely impacted by strike actions, and I think at times my teaching and support with assignments have suffered as a result
