Why did you choose Northumbria University, Newcastle?
I originally came to Nortumbria as part of my Erasmus exchange, it seemed like a good choice for me.
What do you think of Newcastle and our region and what are your favourite things to do?
I like Newcastle because it is a lively city, it is the first Student city for nightlife in the UK! However as much as I love partying once in a while, my favourite things to do are trips to the countryside. Northumberland is such a beautiful place to be on a weekend. I particularly like Bamburgh castle and its beach. I do love Tynemouth as well.
Did you find Northumbria University welcoming? Was it easy to fit in?
Northumbria University is a very welcoming university. It has got a lot of events for freshers in the first week and the Students Union is very involved in making students have a good time. It also provides lots of support to students which I did not have at my home university. It also has a Student Support and Wellbeing centre which I think is good to provide support to students with difficulties, whatever it may be. It was easy to fit in because I was living in halls and my flatmates were such nice people.
What have you enjoyed most about coming to Northumbria University?
Meeting so many international students was what I enjoyed most.
Who has helped you most since you came to Northumbria?
Probably the counselors from Mental Health Support.
What is your favourite place on campus?
Habita. Such a nice student bar with nice cocktails.
What is the best thing about your course?
Being able to do what I love.
What do you want to do in the future? What skills have you learned/improved that you think will be of most use in your future career?
I would like to either work as a translator, doing subtitles or be a Production Manager in the film industry, scouting locations and just be involved into the making of a film. With my second year group film, I have realised that I may be more creative than I thought.
If you could offer some advice to students thinking of coming to study here what would you say?
Just do it!
How do you feel you have changed as a person since being at Northumbria University, Newcastle (e.g. confidence)?
Confidence in meeting new people, more outgoing and having fun more often.
