Newcastle or Leeds?

Heyy i'd say focus on which course you feel is better for you, I know Newcastle medics learn clinical skills much earlier than at Leeds.

The student experience in both cities is pretty similar so there's not much to compare there, but i'd say look at the courses and the universities themselves. I'd go for Newcastle but then again i'm biased

thanks! haha it's so hard to choose because the student experience/vibe does seem very similar in both cities. how have you found your 3 years at newcastle?

Lol i've had 3 years at Leeds, going to Newcastle in September for 5 years to do dentistry =)

I'm biased towards Newcastle as i've not enjoyed my course here in Leeds but i've loved the student experience here! I've got medic friends both here and in Newcs and they all say they love it, so you have got a difficult decision to make lol, but maybe choose which one you had a better feel for?

You're going to enjoy it either way.

I'm at Newc and I have friends in Leeds. Both are good. I know it doesn't help your indecision, but it's the truth

what course are you doing at newcastle? haha thank you anyway, i think i need reassurance that it'll turn out alright either way!

ohh, i see! lucky you, going to both and congratulations on getting the dentistry offer! what course did you do at leeds? haha you're right, it's a very hard choice but i guess whichever option i choose it'll all be fine! i thiiink in my heart of hearts i'm going with newcastle, but my brain will have to dither over that for several more weeks before committing haha. i may be seeing you next year though!

//my bad, i only just saw your sig! haha. why didn't you like the medical science course?

I'm doing Biomed at the moment. Reapplied to do medicine this year for the third time (hopefully I'll actually get the grades this time).

Just give it time to mull over, you've got however long before you have to make your final decision on the UCAS form, so use as much of that time as possible to decide.

I'm going to be heading to Durham next year (grades permitting), so if you end up in Newcastle, I could catch you from third year onwards.

This is difficult decision for me too...basically where I want to apply for house jobs!

It's just rubbish basically, they've changed the modules so it's not the same course I started on, and they have researchers teaching that can't teach! I guess it got me to where I want to be though

Yeah you've got time yet, am sure you'll figure it out. If you decide on Newcastle which accomodation will you pick?

oh, that sounds awful. i'd be so annoyed if the modules got changed like that haha. but hey, roll on dentistry next year

i've actually already applied! i went for marris house, windsor terrace and st mary's (first choice, washbasin, self-catering) and then central link, windsor terrace and victoria hall (second choice, ensuite, self-catering). how about you?

Does anyone know anything about that? I mean is it hard to find a part time job in Newcastle for a student? Or at least is it harder/easier than in Leeds?

I had Marris house and Windsor too! Then Castle Leazes as third choice =) (all washbasin) with Windsor ensuite as the other option thingy oooh so you might be in my halls!
