Newcastle University is an excellent university in a excellent city. On my course in particular, the experience with professors and seminar leaders has been very positive, and both the learning environment and the environment of the university site are very accommodating. The reason this review is 4 stars rather than 5 stars is due to some ways the Covid-19 pandemic affected my experience, and how the university could have handled this better. This was, of course, an unprecedented event that the university couldn’t necessarily have done anything better with. My in-person experience with this uni has overall been very positive.
