Northumbria University Reviews and Ratings

• I wanted an En-suit and it was expensive on campus, so I stayed at an outsider student accommodation facility close to the university. The weekly rent was around £110.

• I found through online platform, WhatsApp group and monthly rent per person is various demand upon the places you choose.
• The average is 350 gbp to 500 gbp per person

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

The admission process is strightforward and efficient. In universities official website, they provide clear guidance of required documents and step by step process of taking admission. No external consultants or coaching institutes was necessary as university's transparent information and support made the process accessible.

The University was ranked as top 10 Youth universities in UK. The programs that they were providing would have helped me grow and get great Jobs in the future. The university rank was improving for the past 3 years continuously and hence thought that as an advantage. Also, the fees structure of the University was fit for the budget that I was looking for.

I wanted to do Data analytics course and one of my friends was already studying here so got a good help from him.

I have 3 years of work experience in CFD domain, it influenced me to take masters. Northumbria university has strong program in mechanical especially in CFD and FEA.

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.
