Accomodation

It is really important to make your accommodation arrangements for your first days in UK before you leave your home country.  Newcastle University offers a variety of accommodation options to suit your needs and we can help you make the best choice for your situation.

On or off campus

• The majority of our accommodation sites are within 10 minutes walk from the campus and city centre.  As Newcastle is a fairly compact city, even those residences that are off campus are not very far from the city centre.
• If you live on campus, you'll have immediate access to all the University and city centre facilities, and most likely won't need to use public transport.
• The benefits of living off campus include the rent being cheaper, typically being in a quieter area (although not always), and you can explore new areas of the city.

Facilities

• Think about whether you're happy to share a bathroom with others. If you'd prefer a private bathroom, you can consider en suite accommodation. 
• Some residences offer on-site communal activities and others are close to sporting facilities. Decide what facilities are important to you and check which residences includes these.
