I'm in Newcastle and one of my best mates from home is in Northumbria, he wishes he was in Newcastle, so i'd have to say Newcastle.

newcastle.

I'd say Newcastle, but it depends what subject. Newcastle tends to be more academic... not more hard working, just more academic. Though saying that, I don't mean that Northumbria is for stupid people. Obviously not.

Just tell us what subject you're doing, that might be the best way! :p:

As someone has already said; Newcastle for education, Northumbria for everything else but because we're all part of NUS, we get to experience most of what Northumbria has to offer anyway.

I have to disagree with your latter point. I find the nights at Newcastle so much better, and the freshers' week was by far superior, and better oganised, and the whole layout of the Union is better, and thats coming from my local knowledge about the place as well.

For another point, i work in a bar, and there are as many rahs wearing the Northumbria Jackets, as there are Newcastle students.

Of what use will a sandwich year and 1k pounds/year be for you if you get a degree of lesser quality?
Newcastle Uni being the better one as you already found out for yourself should be enough to make the decision for a firm choice.

Bearing in mind you have to put the uni with the highest grades as your firm choice... I'm presuming Newcastle has higher grades?
Which means if you want to go to Northumbria but you get the grades for Newcastle you have to go.
