My eldest daughter goes to the Nursery at Ryhope Infant School…read more On my first visit I thought the school was a bit like fort knox. You have to walk around the gated field and yard to get to the reception. Once you reach reception you have to wait for someone to open the door for you. But thinking about it, this is a great feature for the school. It means that no-one can get into the school without someone knowing. On a morning a teacher opens the gate and checks the children off a list, or the children enter via the childrens centre and you can watch them go right into the class room. Friday afternoons see the nursery open there doors onto a corridor along with the reception class doing the same, allowing the children to mix, and not be intimadated my the older children. The head teacher, Mrs Ray is very friendly and approachable. My daughter has progressed really well there and I'm sure that the pleasent atmosphere and friendly teachers help in this.

Inside the school it is very well laid out and all of the staff are extremely friendly, easy to get along with and helpful as and when they can be. The teaching of general subjects was excellent and the emphasis on good behaviour really paid off and made the link to comprehensive school very easy. Would definitely recommend!

The people are really friendly, and all of the teaching staff seem really enthusiastic about the course(s) they teach. The student accommodation is really good here as well, as all of it is really close to the Uni itself (I think the furthest is about a 5 minute walk)! It's definitely worth a look as in my opinion I think it's a top Uni. Even if you are going to Uni here, it's worth a look just to see the buildings!

Northumbria university is a great place to study. I was graduated from this great university. It…read morehas great quality education. The library is great. The lecturers are all qualified. The fellow students comes from different backgrounds, which are great. The class rooms are modern and well equipped. This university expands so fast in the last 10 years. It has just built a new campus in new bridge street (central newcastle), which is absolutely state of the art building. The new building in new bridge street is well architectured and modern. The student union is fun as well. The problem is just the exams and the assignments are not easy, which is good as it shows the quality.

I was a student at Newcastle University and I can honestly say that the main buildings and…read moreresources available to students could not be faulted. The library and computing facilities were second to none. The university is nicely situated in the heart of Newcastle, with Haymarket metro station and numerous bus services closeby. There are plenty of facilites on campus, as well as the whole of Northumberland street just across the road! As for the general atmosphere of the place - I was not keen. I'm unsure whether I was just unlucky in that the people on my course were not particularly friendly, or whether the university as a whole is like this I was told before going to this university that a lot of the students were so-called 'Durham rejects'. I found this to be quite true although I'm sure those students would not admit it, it was made to be very difficult for the local students to mingle with those student from other areas of the UK. I have no qualms about the level of teaching - the lecturers were very friendly and clearly 'knew their stuff' and the course I did was challenging. If I had to choose again, I would rather have gone to Northumbria University. Although the standard of the course and the entry requirements are generally lower at Northumbria and the campus is less aesthetically pleasing, I imagine that the 'university experience' (which is what most students go for!!!) would have been a whole lot more enjoyable.

Newcastle has lately been named Best University Town in Britain and I'm not surprised. I studied at…read moreNewcastle University for four years as a mature student and I loved it. There is a huge range of courses, both undergraduate and postgraduate and the range of extra curricula activities is awe inspiring. More than 18,000 students from over 100 different countries choose to study at Newcastle so there is a diverse range of cultures represented in every faculty. There are over 200 full time undergraduate degree programmes to choose from in the following subject areas: Arts Business and Law Combined Studies Engineering Foundation Year Life Sciences Medical Sciences Physical Sciences Social Sciences Newcastle University enjoys strong international collaboration so opportunities are often available for overseas study (dependent upon the degree studied). There are mentoring programmes available for those returning to study, and during your first year of study you are guaranteed a place in University accommodation (certain criteria apply). There are some wonderfully inspirational lecturers there who I would now call firm friends. The architecture in the original parts of the university is superb. There is a great social mix with any number of things to do outside of study - from jazz appreciation to fencing, yoga to wine tasting, scuba diving to martial arts. There is a well maintained gym, a number of places on campus to enjoy bad food, a great student union bar hosting numerous social events and live acts, and it's all in a great city. I'd recommend this university to anyone.
