I loved my 4 years at Newcastle University. The city of Newcastle is amazing and super convenient with everything within walking distance. Although it is a small city there is always something going on and there are cool bars and restaurants popping up every week. It goes without saying that the nightlife is incredible but even if that’s not your cup of tea, the beach is 20 minutes away on the metro and the county of Northumberland is a stunning area of natural beauty. In terms of the university, the libraries are very spacious and have all the facilities you need. As a modern languages student, I had access to the Language Resource Centre and the interpreting labs which are equipped with the latest software. The teaching was of excellent quality and I felt like I was well supported by my personal tutor and the careers service. There are also lots of sports teams at Newcastle University and I was lucky to be part of the Boat Club and was able to meet so many people who loved the sport as much as I did. Overall, if you want to study in a vibrant city and get a good degree from a Russell Group university, I would definitely recommend Newcastle University.
