    The 'Rah' Issue
    From what i've read, there seems to be a huge divide between ricky roaders and rahs in the accommodation- where do the normal people live?

    "Rah rah rah rah rah rah rah darhling."

    Hence, 'Rah'.

    Jesmond is where all the posh people live etc.

    Really nice place mind.

    Please don't be a rah.

    Newcastle is getting too many rahs.

    what ever accomodation you choose you will not get away from 'rahs'. It is swimming with them.

    You have to be kidding me, Jesmond is just full of students, not that many rah's live there!

    I work in Newcastle & live in Sunderland, and this definitely isnt the case

    Just avoid Castle Leazes. The rest of the accommodation is fine as far as I know. I was in Marris House and it was pretty much Rah free.

    Lol, a huge divide between ricky roaders and rahs? Ricky Road has rahs... all accom has rahs and 'normal' people, even Castle Leazes isn't that bad. Apply where you think looks best, not based on where the rahs may or may not be.

    Leazes/Castle Court is known for having its fair share of rahs from living there. A lot of the ones I met stuck out as t**ts and didn't really socialise so don't worry about them
