Newcastle University Reviews and Ratings

• I found the accommodation (Verde) online. My weekly rent was 140/- (inclusive of bills).

• I chose university accomodation which was very secure and well maintained.
• For the whole year i paid about 6500 pounds.

• Many students secure full time jobs within 6 months after completing the course, especially in cybersecurity roles like SOC Analyst, Security Consultant or Risk Analyst. The average starting salary ranges from 25000 to 35000 GBP/year with some roles going higher depending on experience.
• Jobs are usually found through LinkedIn, job portals , career fairs and the university's career services. Networking , internships and certifications can also help boost chances.

• My accommodation is good. We got it through Wright Residential.
• It is fully furnished and the monthly rent was 500 pounds, including bills.
• Getting cheap accommodation in our budget, including bills, is a big task. Mostly ensuite will be costly for a very small room itself. Sharing accommodation was a bit affordable here.
• Try to get added in the local area WhatsApp group; mostly people will post about the rent ads in the group with pictures; we can contact them and get it sorted. College accommodation is best if they dont know any of them here for the initial few months.
• My accommodation is 4 miles away; I used to go by bus, which hardly takes 15 to 20 minutes.
• Most of the Indian community people stay in a place called Fenham.
   

• University helped me with the accommodation in first year. However I found out that if you book the same accommodations privately it is a lot cheaper. I always looked at unihomes.co.uk. My current monthly rent is 620 however it was 700 in the first year. 

• I didn't find it challenging to find accommodation as a fresher because the university help was sufficient. My accommodation is a 10 min walk from the university 

• I opted for Private Student Accommodation. I found my accommodation through Amber student accommodation portal for international students. 
• I am paying £640 a month for a basic studio in my accommodation. 
• I didn't face any challenge securing my accommodation. It's an easy process and there are several websites through which you can book your accommodation and apart from private accommodation you can also go for university accommodation. My accommodation is just 2km away from my campus.

• I opted for off campus accommodation.
• I found my student accommodation with the help of google, and fresh student living property management.
• I had a studio apartment with personal kitchen and bathroom, and my monthly rent was approximately 650 pounds. We had a social space with books, games, pool table and other fun activities that was helpful for relaxation, and making connections and socialising, and a gym and backyard and 24*7 security.
• The search for accommodation was fairly smooth and they gave a virtual and video call tour before my confirmation, so I was satisfied.
• Based on my experience, recommendations that I would give for future students seeking accommodation - will be get in touch with the property managements for students and make sure to get a virtual video call tour (with all the questions whether it is silly or something important).
• My accommodation was 18 mins away (walking distance) from my uni, and most Indian students usually stay near Fenham (because of larger Asian community and Indian food store and eateries)

I would say my experience has been very positive. As an international student you gain invaluable experience and learn different things.

It was great experience as I made a lot of great friends in my time here.

The atmosphere is good and culturally exclusive. The people are kind and DO NOT discriminate based on your gender/religion or caste. This is something which is very important as there are Faith Officers who are in charge of maintaining peace and harmony within the campus. Apart from that there are many events and forums which one can join based on his interests.
