About Newcastle
Famously home to the Angel of the North, brown ale and shirtless football fans who don’t feel the cold, Newcastle is a fun and energetic place to call home.
Previously voted top British student city, to go with the Guardian Travel guide’s recent admiration, the city is home to two higher education institutions.
Newcastle University traces its history back to the early 19th century and is an esteemed member of the Russell Group – a leading association of research-focused higher education institutions.
The University of Northumbria also calls Newcastle home, meaning a strong student presence in the North East – bringing in the bands, shops and student discounts the young population expects.
The city is a big weekend destination for city breaks and stag dos, meaning the nightlife ranges from the sophisticated to sick (literally), and students tend to learn pretty quickly where not to venture with a plummy southern accent. Newcastle has a big heart though, and the Geordie folk are more often than not a friendly bunch.
The gritty industrial side to the city keeps a sense of normality amongst the adulation (and these days condemnation) of the Newcastle United players and the luxury designer shopping that fills the city centre streets.
