Student Accommodation in Newcastle

Newcastle is a buzzing northern England city that has become well known for its nightlife and culture such as museums and breweries, but also because it’s made famous by the reality TV show Geordie Shore. Its popularity as a party destination and its proximity to the two main universities of Newcastle University and Northumbria University means it is one of the most desirable places for students to study in the UK.

Newcastle has a huge student population that spreads across its two prestigious universities, and is home to some of the country’s best student accommodation options. Its enviable location in the north east of England and its famously friendly locals make it an attractive place for students from all over the world to move to, especially as it is a relatively affordable city.

Whether you are looking for modern Newcastle student accommodation in the city centre or a more traditional house share, there is something to suit everyone’s budget. Some of the most popular student accommodations in Newcastle include Byron Lofts, Collegiate Plummer House and Magnet Court – all of which are centrally located and offer top-of-the-range facilities including private bathrooms, a choice of social spaces and superfast wifi so you can stay connected while studying or relaxing with friends.

The best area to look for Newcastle student accommodation is the centre of town, close to both universities and with all the main sights and attractions nearby.

Budgeting is a critical aspect of choosing student accommodation. Consider your financial resources and establish a realistic budget to guide your decision-making process. Remember to factor in additional costs such as utilities, internet, and transportation. Compare the costs of different accommodation options and weigh them against the provided amenities and location. It is advisable to allocate a significant portion of your budget towards accommodation, as it is an investment in your well-being and academic success. Additionally, explore potential financial aid or scholarships offered specifically for housing to help alleviate the financial burden.
