Looking for accommodation

Hi
I am coming to Northumbria University in September and I haven't taken care of my accommodation yet.
Does anyone know of any accommodation off campus or any websites where I can search for it?
Also is there anyone who still hasn't found accommodation and is also going to Newcastle?

Thanks

Hi Francisco1!

There are plenty of private halls that you can look into, run by various companies. I made a map last year to pinpoint them all - they're the green markers on the map.

Hope that helps!

Thank you very much. Do you also know of any websites that have private renting or some type of accommodation besides private halls and student halls?

You could always have a look at some of the estate agents for student housing/flats that aren't halls. I'm not sure how available they'll be, but I'll list a few of the bigger lettings agencies:

Walton Robinson
Roseworth
Pat Robson
EasiLiving

Hello,
I have the same problem with accommodation yet I'm looking at the options on campus. I have two buildings in mind: Glenamara and Stephenson :smile:

I will be studying Business so which accommodation is:
1. Closer to the library?
2. Quieter?
3. Closer to the Business facility/ies?
4. Sports Hall?
5. Has a stove? I know it sounds silly but the uni does not mention this "tiny detail" in their description.

You could recommend a place based on these criterias too :biggrin:

If you could answer this question, it'd be phenomenal as I do not have any opinions on the topic yet :frown:

Thanks, loads :smile:

We have 3 off campus accommodation options you might find interesting. All of them are brand new for this September and offer a really incredible living experience.

I have included the video for Plummer House which is pretty cool. for any more information, just visit the website www.collegiate-ac.com

I wish you the best of luck in your search :smile:

I'd be happy to!

1) They're both on the same street - almost opposite each other, so they're the same distance away :tongue:

.
2) I'd say Stephenson would be quieter because there are less people in the flats, though it depends on the people you share with. I think there's options to book into quiet sections of the accommodation though too.
3) They're the same, though Glenamara is quicker by literally 30 seconds.
4) Same as 3.
5) They both come with cookers/hobs in the communal kitchens.

Both buildings are only about a three minutes walk to the business campus too, so whichever you choose, you won't be miles away!
