Newcastle A100/A101 2020 Offer Holders

i think that newcastle accommodation is split between postgrads and undergrads, have a look but there’s definitely accommodation for just postgrads

As far as I’ve seen, if you’re over 25 you can get in with postgrads. I’ll be 24 by September so my plan was to bring the topic up at the applicants day and see if a group of us could get some student housing off campus together

Oh sweet, are you going onto A100 or A101? It looks cheaper just to get a house with random people, but it's finding the random people that is the difficult part haha

i’m a bit confused about where to find the questionnaire and about the dbs check, do we organise that or do newcastle?

Anyone help? If I get an offer from Leeds too I don’t know how I’m going to decide between the two!! I prefer Leeds’ course (dissection, medical language modules) but Newcastle as a uni/city. Anyone shed some light?? Congrats on all offers and good luck to those waiting

Does anyone know if grads can request to live in dorms with other grads? I'm only 21 so it's not the end of the world if I'm living with 18 year olds, but I'd prefer to live with other grads. Thanks 😊😊

I'll be 23 in September: living with 18 year olds is not what I had in mind! Keep me posted on any housing ideas

For sure will do, I've joined the newcastle offer holders page on facebook and I'm gonna just stalk it until September to try and find some housemates haha

I live about 10 minutes from Newcastle so moving out seems like it doesn't make sense, but it works out at about the same price with regards to how much more maintenance loan I would get 😁

For someone who has very little knowledge about housing prices outside of London/Essex, what's the average weekly rent price like in Newcastle (or wherever you would live as a student)?

Is there a date for medicine offer holder day? Don’t want to call up and delay them processing people’s offers 🤣 but I’ve checked website and can’t see anything specific for medicine.

They are sending emails with this info out soon, you should receive a congratulations on your offer email and it will tell you this 😊 well done on your offer!

Ok thanks. Just saw somebody mention an April date so wasn’t sure if this had already been released somewhere and I’m just not seeing it. Congrats on your offer too! 👍

Pleased to have an offer as it is such a long process. Hopefully the offer holder day is somewhen I can make as it would be good to get a bit more of a perspective on everything as I’ve been to Newcastle a few times but never an open day as I haven’t been able to make them

This was the link that mentioned an offer holder day in April! ☺️

If I’m not mistaken, there is no offer holder open day for medicine. The email from Newcastle confirming the offer says “Offer Holder Days are held by departments which don't interview applicants”, so assume medicine does not have one as they interview. Not sure why though as I’m pretty sure there was one last year....
