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.

Today, Thursday the 22nd Day of the Moon/Month of November, MMXVII - 2018 A.D. I read on Yahoo! or…read moreBing News that several United Kingdom Newspapers reported that Mr Mathew Hedges, aged 31, a post-graduate Ph.D. Student/Researcher educated by/or still employed at Durham University, has been under investigation and arrested several times by the Government of the United Arab Emirates, since the 5th Day of May MMXVIII - 2018. Mr Mathew Hedges wife is pictured with her husband in the United Kingdom, in Central London, near the seat of the United Kingdom Government. Mr Mathew Hedges is not identical to the Mr Mathew Hedges who is currently employed a Her Britannic Majesty Queen Elisabeth's Ambassador to Paraguay, and worked as a Diplomat in various positions since before the year MM - 2000 A.D. The University of Durham has not issued any statement on Yelp on Mr Mathews inprisonment. I heard that Professzor Iva'n Szele'nyi, who disappeared from The Karl Marx University of Economics and Politics, Budapest, was teaching us Sociology there, a Teacher at the Sociology Department at the Karl Marx University of Economics and Politics, visiting the United States of North Amerika in 1963 on a one year scholarship, is Professzor of Sociology at the 'New York University of Abu Dhabi' ??, Professzor Norman Stone is Professzor at Bilkent University, and could also be interested in the matter, as they are both personally involved, as I am in researching matters of Internatinal Economics and Politics. Professzor Peter De La Fosse Wiles books on the Economics of the Soviet Union will also give some information on how the situation leading to Mr Mathew Hedges five months inprisonment in the United Arab Emirates developed. When the Irish ITV Television Journalist was taken hostage in Beirut, other people teaching in Beirut were also taken hostage, leading to the Special Envoy of the Archbishop of Canterbury being taken hostage.

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!
