Gateshead college is actually charging a few hundred less for the same course, so for those of you that are having to pay the full fee, this may be useful to know. If you live in either Gateshead or Newcastle, either college is easy enough to get to if its saving you a few hundred. From what I understand Newcastle college no longer do evening classes, Gateshead run a lot of evening classes. Both are in modern buildings and have a good feel about them. I have been in contact with staff from both colleges and both seem very friendly and helpful. Overall I think both are excellent colleges but Gateshead is definitely swaying it for me.
