Discover moreGrowing up in Belarus I had only ever visited lakes and rivers; I’ve always dreamed of living near the sea. Thankfully, it only takes around 20 minutes by metro to get to one of several lovely coastal towns that rest upon our gorgeous stretch of the North Sea. South Shields is a popular spot, with a beautiful beach, impressive dunes, and stunning cliffs. It is common to see people running here with their dogs and enjoying those sunny days. Tynemouth is also a great spot along the coast to spend the day. The fish and chips are exceptional and the small cliff side beach, King Edwards Bay, could almost be Mediterranean!
The Night Life
The night life in Newcastle is known to be one of the finest in the UK. The city can cater to all your needs, no matter what you’re looking for. If you want a straight up good time with great drinks and loud music, then you’ll love places like Perdu or Digital. If you’re into techno or bass music, then you’ve got Cosmic Ballroom and World HQ. If you’re an Indie head, then you’ll be headed to places like the CUT.
The Students’ Union
If you are looking for a more relaxed night out, Northumbria has an excellent Students’ Union bar called Habita. The bar is always busy with students during both day and night. It has great deals on food and drink, making it the perfect place to grab a bite to eat during the day, or to unwind with your friends in the evening.
The Facilities
One of the standout points for me, is Northumbria University’s facilities that are available for students to use. It has great industrial equipment, Bloomberg terminals, high end PC’s and Macs, engineering machines and much more. Also, Sport Central at Northumbria is known to be one of the best in the UK. We have swimming pools, a sauna, a gym, climbing walls, squash courts and more.
The Library
The library is the perfect place to do your work. It’s open 24/7, meaning whenever you’re ready to start that project, the library will be there for you. I would recommend the basement for late night work, but the first floor is the main hub. And don’t forget the books! The library has a massive variety of books on many different subjects, so it’s the perfect place to go and work on big projects.
What have I learnt about Newcastle since studying here?
Newcastle is a city for everyone. With high diversity of different nationalities and cultures, an amazing nightlife and a warm city filled with amazing people, I am confident that you would feel at home.
