I'm a Swede going to Newcastle - help?

This is the first post, but not the original one. I thought I was going to Newcastle, but that's not the case anymore. Don't waste you time here :smile:

Newcastle actually has a really compact city centre so you don't need buses to get around the central area. There are however plenty of buses going to the suburbs and nearby towns, and also a Metro (underground/light rail) system which takes you out to the east coast and the airport.

I personally really like Newcastle - it's a lot cheaper than many other cities and as I said, it's small. It has everything you might want in walking distance.
As there's 2 universities in Newcastle (also both right next to the centre) it does mean there's a lot of students, and therefore lots of things aimed at students - bars, clubs, restaurants, shops etc.

But I guess it depends what you like - if you're wanting a really huge city then Newcastle isn't that. But it ought to have everything you might want while living here.

Everything you've said this far seems great. I don't think I need a huge city, but what I do want is a vibrant and lively city...:smile:

You've just described Newcastle there.

It's well known for being one of the livliest places to live as a student in the UK.
