Campus Life
- Northumbria has two campuses in Newcastle: City campus and Coach Lane. I studied at City Campus, which has great facilities like a 24/7 library, a sports center, a student union, and medical services. The campus is always buzzing with events like Fresher's week, International Festivals, and Career fairs.
Accommodation
- I found my initial accommodation on booking.com. I stayed for about 1.5 years in a student accommodation called IQ Stephenson House, which is a 7-10 minute walk from the university and 15 minutes from the city center. It is really affordable. There are many accommodations nearby that would be suitable for people looking for en suites.
Likes
- Integrated Learning atmosphere and modules.
- Excellent virtual boardrooms for construction Management and built environment classrooms ( Trinity and Ellison).
- Sports Centre for it's excellent sports facilities and especially, the swimming pools and badminton courts made me a huge fan of the university facility team. Anyone would complement them for the way they maintained the facility.
Dislikes
- The liberal attitude can be toned down a little bit for students to focus more on their studies.
- This is in conjunction with previous point. I stated the previous point because the university has excellent academic and support facilities. The liberal attitude could at times make students lose track of the opportunity in hand and time waits for no one. Therefore, stated
- A proper lunchroom would be helpful instead of just grub food and a small snack shop.
Campus Life
- Our university has two campuses. One is based in Newcastle Upon Tyne and other in Amsterdam. Libraries, sports center, pub and special labs for licensed software usage is also present. University Digital library and Commons library are open 24/7. Christmas and easter holidays are celebrated in a very grand manner.
- There are several student organizations and book clubs. However, the elected student representatives who are part of university student committee are actually responsible for addressal of student concern through highlighting issues to university authorities.
Accommodation
- Initially, I found my accommodation through the educational consultancy agency which helped me in the admission process. I paid around 450 pounds for my accommodation. It was an Ensuite room with shared kitchen. Our seperate rooms had a study table, shower room attached with bath room. Other than this, the kitchen had oven, microwave oven, dishwasher and TV. The accommodation also had a gym, mini movie room and recreation room with games. For third semester I shifted to a studio room in a building owned by a Pakistani gentleman. It is advisable for Indian students to stay in the city center and stay away from south asian areas in order to focus on their studies. I would state this as the reason for me graduating with a good score. I stayed in Waterloo street for most if the time and I would recommend areas like Waterloo for students to stay.
- Other areas where south asians like Indians, Pakistanis and Sri Lankan tamils (I myself am a tamilian) can turn to be a distraction for students as they could get lost into a world luring with short term benefits such as numerous part time gigs. This happens due to connections we can build easily with them. It is also unsafe as crime prevalence is high in these areas dominated. Gateshead, areas around waterloo street and nearby university is safe as far as I have observed. It is better to stay in a native persons housing as the natives who go by the tag 'geordies' are very friendly and helpful in nature.
- The northerners of UK are very straight forward and most of the women and men I met were helpful and had no trace of slyness. It is recommended to mingle with the locals and integrate with them for better job prospects. I had to return due to covid situation. Otherwise, I would have found a job for myself over them. However, I am in a good position currently and hope to go visit sometime.

- Well Qualified Staffs
- Located in heart of London City (Zone 1)
- University will provide very good academic support
Dislikes
- We cant get the Big UK university experience in this campus as it is a very small campus. If you are only focused in studies and not considering the University environment then it is not a big deal.
- As it is located in central London (Zone 1) transportation is little expensive. but you will be having only 2 days of offline class.
- In this campus there is no physical Library, but you will be having access to the online library which is huge. You can get any articles or books form online library 24/7.
Campus Life
- There is no big events or fests in this London Campus, as I told before it is really a small campus. Main campus is in New castle.
- As I answered before there is no big facilities, you will have a pantry where you can get Tea or coffee as much as you want and the study area apart from that nothing much.
- Sorry, No campus festivals. No extra curricular activities. Those are there just for name sake.
Accommodation
- I found the accommodation through the whatsapp group, it is a sharing based accommodation. when I landed in London it was around 330 per month excluding the bill in double sharing room, it is a very small room actually.
- Finding a good accommodation with the right people is actually a big challenge and it still continues.
- If you can pay more monthly for the accommodation then better go with student accommodations. If your budget is low then look for sharing accommodation and you have no other choice. You will have to adjust a lot.
- I was living in zone 3 and university was in zone 1.

Campus Life
Campus life is vibrant, I met lot of people from different countries and different ethnicity.
Accommodation
I stayed in university accommodation, there is no criteria for shortlisting as it is based on first come first serve basis. Meal depends on accommodation price, for lower rate the meal variety was less. In a week every Sunday we used to get special meal in dinner.
Campus Life
The great thing was the campus facility was open 24x7 which was great. Whenever you feel about studying or working on the research, there is no time bound to the stay in the library which was quite huge. The sports building was equipped with state of the art facilities, gym and Olympic size swimming pool.
Accommodation
The cost of living in university accommodation was anywhere between 70£ to 150£ per week. The facilities varied with the pricing.
Campus Life
We didn't experienced much campus life because the time when I came in UK, it was badly infected by COVID and didn't got an opportunity to have on campus classes.
Accommodation
I live in a private accommodation
Campus Life
Extraordinary facilities with university accomodation, free wifi inside campus, supports sports
Accommodation
University accomodation is quite expensive (£3075 for 6 months incl food) but student can opt private accomodation
Accommodation
The student accommodations are shared rooms between 2 students. The rent per student is about £700 - £800 per month in central London. If you move to the city outskirts then it comes down to £500 - £600 per month for 1 bedroom.
I chose Northumbria University as I had a lot of recommendations about this university from my tutors and friends. This University is in the top 50 best university ranking list for the UK. This university also had the course I was looking to study and also offered an advanced practice semester where we can either secure an internship with a company or work on a research project to get a better understanding of the field.
