Long gone are the days that all Northumbria University and Newcastle University students live in private houses in Jesmond, Heaton and Sandyford.  

Students in Newcastle are now spreading themselves throughout the city, in areas such as the Quayside, Shieldfield, Ouseburn, St James’ and the City Centre. 

The rate of purpose built student accommodation developments being built in Newcastle is incredible. A recent report from Savills informs readers, purpose built student accommodation has transformed the state of student housing over the last 25 years. Furthermore, “the stereotype of students staying in cheap digs is no longer a reality”. Undergraduates, placement students and postgraduates are now looking for more and this has meant the standard of student living keeps getting better and better.  

As a result this has meant students no longer should fear:

• Damp
• Mould
• Infestations
• Cold showers
• Rogue landlords

Instead students in 2016 should be looking forward to student accommodation that is safe and secure and includes:

• Minimum 100MB broadband
• Cinema rooms
• Gyms
• SMART TV’s
• Study and social areas
• All inclusive bills
• Car parking
• 24 hour management teams

Students now have the opportunity to be living with large communities of like-minded people, making it easy to make friends and enjoy University life to the full.
