Even though international students paying more than twice times the fees than home students I feel like I don’t get enough support, last year was even worse there was strike and we didn’t have enough lectures and seminars which supposed to. I mean if you say why then go back to own country and study, fair enough but since this is optional survey.
It’s pretty. I wish they improved more of the facilities in architecture school. Our studios are quite dirty from pervious students so it’s not fair for new students to have a dirty studio when they walk in. Other than that the gym is great but Northumbria has a pool and a sauna and even a climbing wall
Such a great location and the help is so attentive. I feel really comfortable living here and being away from home as everyone makes it so welcoming.
Best is probably the overall feel of the university and the city, as well as the staff in the uni. Worst is probably lack of preparation for certain jobs in the uni.
best is uni life and layout so the uni is near my accommodation and bear the other buildings worst is the problems in the accommodation with heating and hot water.
Access for the music rooms for those who want it
Newcastle University is a great place to study as I always feel apart of something bigger than myself whilst also getting the support I need from the wellbeing team. I like the structure of my academic week and never feel too overwhelmed with anything. Perhaps one thing I would improve would be for there to be more of an easy access to receive academic hep with assignments and hold workshops that benefit this.
Student union is quite small. I do enjoy its study space but could do with more lounge areas.
Good gym facilities at the sports centre and reasonably priced for availability Lots of affordable places to eat such as Dough Daze for a slice of pizza The worst experience is living 30mins away from campus so when it's raining it's not so great
Newcastle uni is an amazing place to study. It's in a great location as you're never far from town and it has plent to offer (including a good night life). The uni itself is brilliant with cozy and practicle study spaces in pretty much every building, a great library in an easy to find and access location, a really inclusive students union with plenty to offer and good support for students which is well advertised and easy to access. The uni offered accomodations are all great too and always have the friendliest staff. The uni (and accomodations) also have decent wifi though with so many people accessing it sometimes the signal can be a bit patchy or take a little longer than ususal to connect too.
It would be cool if notes were put above the computers to ask people not to use them if they are just going to sit using their laptop and not turn the computer on
The city is walkable and has a lot to offer inside and outside of studying. An improvement could be to make student life more affordable to more people.
The course I am on have been very insightful and interesting! The campus is lively with lots of opportunities.
