Difference between Northumbria & Newcastle Uni?

Sound, I know I'm going to sound like a dope here but what do you lot define has a rah again...

very public school... think ugg boots, gilet's, pashminas and jack wills

if your worried about meeting people go to catered halls (but not leazes!).

Are catered halls better for meeting people?

I thought the best social/party scene was at the non catered halls, like Ricky Road?

Just wondering

At catered halls people from different flats find themselves together in a room every day, so in that sense yes there is a better chance for intermingling. However at Ricky road they have communal kitchens (and bathrooms i think) between several flats, so this helps people socialise with people from other flats.

In all honesty it depends what you make of it, even in fully self contained flats you can always just walk next door and invite your neighbours over. I know plenty of people who are in flats which have close ties with flats on either side/above/below them. So much so that they just sort of freely wander between them, even if the neighbours aren't in!

Oh, and to actually answer your question rather than rambling; yes, the general consensus seems to be that Ricky Road is the best for socialising.

No, it's self-contained flats. 6 people sharing a kitchen and shower room.

I think St.Marys was the best accommodation personally. Very high standard, cheap, good mix of students: international and British.

Rar = 'riches and royalty'

Basically, private school, mummy and daddy buy everything for me kinda person.

They seem to take the business / finance courses more than anything else.

One's the poly, one's the posh...

Ultimately there's little difference, Northumbria is better for more vocational subjects eg. Nursing but Newcastle has a better reputation for more traditional subjects.

There will be more rahs at Newcastle.
Northumbria people have always seemed nice, but some have a chip on their shoulder against Newcastle.

Don't know anything about Northumbria accomm but Ricky Road is probably the main/only party hall at Newcastle.

No-one goes to the Newcastle Union. Ever.
The Northumbria Union is meant to be good and they advertise at Newcastle too but I've never been, nor do I know any fellow poshies who have.

I know someone doing Communication, seems a bit of a doss to be honest, she has like 4 hours a week contact time. But yeah they both seem fairly good for going into advertising with, and as you are coming all the way from Eire for a ****up, I doubt this is bad news for you.

They don't stick internationals together, often people will stick with others from their own country out of their own choice.
