The open days have finished, but I think I am going to do a self guided campus tour on Thursday (I live quite far away, in Kent). Have you been?

You can always apply and then visit the university at one of the post-application open days. Can't imagine the self-guided tour being much fun since you can't properly visit your school, have a look at the accommodation etc.

Yes I agree, tbh it was more to get a feel for the city but they do have quite a few videos, and like you said there will be a post-application day :smile:

I would definitely recommend going - you need to get a feel for it and notice whether you'd feel at home there :h:

What do you plan to study? Make sure you check out the building where some of your lectures would be and email whoever is says is the course lead online or on the prospectus and see if you can have a chat :h:

Why Newcastle University?
I visited the city for the first time when I went to an open day in September. Everyone I have ever spoken to about Newcastle had always said what a nice city it was and I had never heard a bad word about it. When I visited, the university itself was amazing, but the city itself I found out of this world. The people were so friendly, the shops and nightlife seemed good, there was certainly a lot of things to do! I don't think I'll be getting bored if I come to Newcastle :biggrin:

I've got a lot of friends here doing Maths and so far they are really enjoying it. Although they seem to spend much more time in the lectures than any other students, at least it is much more chilled once the lectures are over.
I'm going to be firming Newcastle if I get an offer - the university and city looks so good! Anyone know of any Facebook groups or pages for Newcastle Applicants or UCAS Applicants for this academic year? If so, could you please add me? :colondollar::thumbsup:

Thank you very much. The one thing that surprised me is that their usual offer is AAA but my offer is AAB - but I am not complaining!

What do you think was the best thing about the mathematics course at Newcastle?
