Newcastle/Northumbria Accommodation

Hi Everyone!

Just wondering if anyone has any advice for private or northumbria uni halls.

I've heard good things about Portland Green, but with it being privatee, will I still meet people in 1st year?

hi! i'm also starting Northumbria this September, first year! i've chosen to go with the uni accomodations for first year as i know it's where a lot of first years go, i'm also not from Newcastle and don't know the area so i chose to be as close as possible to the Uni. but, if you want to go private do it, there's nothing stopping you from meeting first years as i'm sure others will go private like you. Uni accom was just the right option for me!
please feel free to private message me , i know we're both in the same boat and i know i'm a little stressed about moving and starting Uni x

Aww how lovely! Yes I was thinking the same tbh - although private does look nicer, I would like to go into halls for the first year for that experience <3
