Need help in selecting a uni!

Newcastle all the way!!

I am a little biased because I just love it there. But seriously, for students it's amazing. 1 in 6 people in Newcastle is a student so you'll never be on your own! The university is in the city center and is super easy to get to from the train station. The transport links are excellent. You can be at the seaside in one 40 minute train journey. The city is beautiful! The accommodation is quite affordable and the cost of living is low. It's Russell Group and one of the top universities in the UK and globally!

Hope I helped with the Newcastle aspect of your question!

Edit: Just to add 14.8% of students there are international and you wont find much racism.

@amingo26 Thanks for the speedy reply Yup, you have certainly helped me with the Newcastle aspect! Also, do you have any idea which accommodations that first year students prefer? I'm planning to book one before it runs out. Thanks in advance

I'm a little biased though. Just love Geordies!

If you want your food to be provided at a little extra cost, Castle Leazes is the only choice.

A popular one is Liberty Plaza. It has en-suite and is off the campus but only 20 minutes walk away. This is the one I've heard most people talk about or apply to.

I think that's the one I'd stay in!

Any info regarding Cardiff and Bangor is appreciated! Please help me decide guys

I've moved your thread to the Psychology forum.

On a purely practical level, if you're planning to become a qualified Psychologist (at least over here in the UK), then a placement year is like gold dust, get one if you can - and a guaranteed one is better than one you have to apply for and maybe get.

It may depend partly on what type of university experience you want, or at least, how busy you want your city. Bangor on the whole is quieter as it is a much smaller city for example.

Hey guys, first of all, I'm new here. Hi! So, I got offer letters from 2 unis (Newcastle University and Bangor University), and am waiting for an offer letter from Cardiff University too, for BSc Psychology (Honors). Which of these 3 unis is better, acc to u guys for Psychology ? I'm an international student (Indian), so which of three places is better for Int students? Like are they receptive to outside culture? Or do they stay within their groups?

I'm confused at the moment, coz I've heard good from all 3 unis. Cardiff has its professional placement course, and good city life, and is a Russel uni. So is Newcastle, and I heard they also have begun professional placement , which you have to apply for. Also, I heard student satisfaction is more for Ncl. Bangor, despite not being a Russel uni, has good ratings, and also a wide range of sub-specialties, like Neuro Psychology, clinical etc (Applied for clinical via UCAS ), which the other 2 unis lack. It would be really great to hear from you guys abt these unis.

Also guys, is there racism and all there? Parents bit tensed here. Or, they all good and friendly if u behave well with them? (Pardon me If I sound stupid :P )

Would be really happy if you guys could clarify my queries
