    Which accommodation is best for self catered?
    Didn't get a chance to look around all the accommodation at the open day yesterday, can anyone recommend some good ones which are self catered and have en suites which aren't too far from the campus (less than 20 mins walk)

    "Victoria Hall is a purpose-built, modern complex within easy walking distance of the University campus and thriving city centre, close to stylish shops, coffee bars, restaurants and a great nightlife."
    victoria seems to be fairly in walking distance according to the uni website.. but ur right about henderson i forgot to mention that

    Victoria Hall is very close to Northumbria (providing you are on the City campus and not Coach Lane). If you want a modern hall then Manor Bank, New Bridge Street and Winn Studios are also good. When you apply for ensuite accommodation you can't actually choose the halls themselves, only 'city ensuite' and/or 'classic ensuite', but there is a box for you to put your preference if you have one. All of the ensuites at Northumbria are self-catered and within a 20 minute walk of the City campus, so if you can't decide just pick 'city ensuite' and 'classic ensuite' as two of your options and don't specify any specific halls.
