Hey Pinktable,

I've just accepted a last-minute postgrad offer at Newcastle and am scrambling to find some accommodation - did you manage to sort anything out? Would be grateful for any advice or leads on decent places to stay. Cheers.

Hello, are you still looking for accommodation in Newcastle? :smile:

Hi ishawa,

Thank you for getting in touch. We are hoping to open accommodation applications for September 2020 in the coming weeks, as we continue to monitor the current Covid-19 situation. Our offer holders will get an email inviting them to apply once the portal is open, so please keep an eye on your inbox.

In the meantime, you can find all about our accommodation sites here: https://www.ncl.ac.uk/accommodation/.

Hope this helps :smile:

Can someone tell me if they know of any student accomodation that does not require a uk guarantor. I dont have any close people in the uk so i am having a hard time finding any rooms. It doesnt help that in most cases, it is hard to find information about whether an accomodation requires a guarantor or not.

Hi Angelargi,

Have you looked at Fresh Student Living? We require a guarantor but they can be anywhere in the world!

Hope this helps. :smile:

Hi,

I've just firmed Newcastle for 2021/22 and now looking at accommodation. I have a few questions, when can 2021 students start applying for accommodation as at the moment it's still showing 2020 applications on the website? Also, any recommendations of accommodation to go for? I know there's loads of options both private and uni-managed but I'm still confused where to look. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hello, I'm at Market House this year and booked early for next year but have decided not to go with it now due to change in circumstances so have to find someone to take over the room.

The room is a Platinum Studio at Market House right in the city center. It's 27sqm with its own kitchen, double bed, ensuite 32 inch smart tv and a large desk. Its on the 5th floor with a great view of the river and great sunrises. We booked it with a £300 discount.

It's a great, spacious room and they're really friendly there. Its privately managed by Fresh Student Living.

I really recommend it.

Accommodation booking usually opens in July. Park View halls are nice. They are new, have flats of 8 and are en suite. They are next to the medical school. Castle Leazes is old and a bit shabby. There is a choice of catered or self catered. One of my friends had catered and had to ruch off after a late lecture or she would miss tea. The food wasn't very nice.

I hope this thread is still monitored!

I am hoping to apply to Newcastle. I am a keen pianist (diploma standard) but I've heard that the practice rooms on campus are for music students only. Which halls have music practice rooms (the website doesn't say). I head Castle Leaze did but I don't know if it still does.

Thank you so much

Thank you for your interest in Newcastle University!

You are correct that our Music Facilities are reserved for the exclusive use of our Music students and ensembles.

We recognise that many of our students do not have easy access to a piano whilst they are on Campus. Therefore, we have some pianos around campus for anyone to play. You can see where they are currently housed here.

I hope this information helps! For any further information you may wish to contact the School of Arts and Culture directly via: [email protected]

Hi Everyone :smile:

All Offer Holders can now apply for Accommodation for the 2023/2024 academic year!

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them in this thread and we would be happy to help you as much as we can.

Please find some helpful information and links below to help you apply for accommodation.

Accommodation choice

We have 11 Undergraduate and 4 Postgraduate accommodation sites available across Newcastle. Please visit our Accommodation website to view them all. Each accommodation is unique and we would advise all applicants to check out each of them before they apply. Some accommodation sites have virtual tours allowing you to get a real life feeling of the accommodation.

Applying for Accommodation

Applying for student accommodation with us is straightforward. Check out our handy step-by-step guide. We do not assign rooms based on the date you apply, so there is no rush to complete your application. Just remember to submit your application by 31st July to be covered by our New Student Guarantee.

New Student Guarantee

We guarantee all first-year undergraduate and postgraduate taught students' accommodation through our New Student Guarantee. We will try to allocate you based on your preferences; however, this is not always possible. The New Student Guarantee is an offer of a room which may be University-owned, a managed partnership, or occasionally with a local accommodation provider. For more information on the Guarantee and to check whether you are eligible, please follow this link.

Book Now

Book Now is available to students who have an academic status of ‘Unconditional Firm’ at the time of applying and meet the other conditions of the accommodation guarantee. Book Now allows you to choose your accommodation immediately. Book Now will be available until 30 June, with 20% - 40% of each University residence made available during this time. Rooms may be released in stages up until 30 June depending on demand.

Payment Guide

You can find information on how to pay for accommodation, payment schedules and much more by visiting this website.

What happens next?

Our rooms are not allocated on a first come, first served basis, with the exception to rooms reserved through the Book Now process, to ensure we can assign rooms in a way that is as fair as possible to all students that have met the conditions of the New Student Guarantee. Instead, you will be assigned a random number in our system after the application deadline. We will then process applications in this numerical order. We will make every effort to assign you accommodation according to your choices, but in some instances, we may need to offer you an alternative. Don’t worry, you’ll have a great experience wherever you live. When allocating accommodation, we aim to create a diverse mix of students in each flat. If you are a mature student, we try to place you with students of a similar age where possible. We will allocate rooms after A Level Results Day.

For more information on what happens after you apply for accommodation, please follow this link.
