    I was a student at Newcastle University and I can honestly say that the main buildings and…read moreresources available to students could not be faulted. The library and computing facilities were second to none. The university is nicely situated in the heart of Newcastle, with Haymarket metro station and numerous bus services closeby. There are plenty of facilites on campus, as well as the whole of Northumberland street just across the road! As for the general atmosphere of the place - I was not keen. I'm unsure whether I was just unlucky in that the people on my course were not particularly friendly, or whether the university as a whole is like this I was told before going to this university that a lot of the students were so-called 'Durham rejects'. I found this to be quite true although I'm sure those students would not admit it, it was made to be very difficult for the local students to mingle with those student from other areas of the UK. I have no qualms about the level of teaching - the lecturers were very friendly and clearly 'knew their stuff' and the course I did was challenging. If I had to choose again, I would rather have gone to Northumbria University. Although the standard of the course and the entry requirements are generally lower at Northumbria and the campus is less aesthetically pleasing, I imagine that the 'university experience' (which is what most students go for!!!) would have been a whole lot more enjoyable.

    Newcastle has lately been named Best University Town in Britain and I'm not surprised. I studied at…read moreNewcastle University for four years as a mature student and I loved it. There is a huge range of courses, both undergraduate and postgraduate and the range of extra curricula activities is awe inspiring. More than 18,000 students from over 100 different countries choose to study at Newcastle so there is a diverse range of cultures represented in every faculty. There are over 200 full time undergraduate degree programmes to choose from in the following subject areas: Arts Business and Law Combined Studies Engineering Foundation Year Life Sciences Medical Sciences Physical Sciences Social Sciences Newcastle University enjoys strong international collaboration so opportunities are often available for overseas study (dependent upon the degree studied). There are mentoring programmes available for those returning to study, and during your first year of study you are guaranteed a place in University accommodation (certain criteria apply). There are some wonderfully inspirational lecturers there who I would now call firm friends. The architecture in the original parts of the university is superb. There is a great social mix with any number of things to do outside of study - from jazz appreciation to fencing, yoga to wine tasting, scuba diving to martial arts. There is a well maintained gym, a number of places on campus to enjoy bad food, a great student union bar hosting numerous social events and live acts, and it's all in a great city. I'd recommend this university to anyone.

    Woodhouse Grove School is a private school on the boarder on Bradford and Leeds, set in a beautiful…read morestretch of greenbelt land on the banks of the River Aire. Founded in 1812 by the Methodist Conference for the education of the sons of ministers, The Grove now welcomes pupils and staff of all denominations and none. It is a school that values it roots and traditions but it is constantly changing to meet the demands of modern education. In recent years the school has grown (now 700 in the senior school from age 11) but it is still small enough for all pupils to be known well and to make their mark. Academically this school has a great reputation with glowing OFSTED reports and strong A-Level and GCSE results. The school gives pupils tremendous scope to explore all areas of academic life as well as to try out a wide range of sporting & musical activities. It has some amazing modern sports facilities which are admired in the area. Their indoor training facilities are even used by the Bradford Bulls (who are a super league rugby league team). The school has a great sporting record in both Rugby and Cricket & in Netball and Tennis amongst many other sports. On the arts side they have recently had a new theatre and a new music department built to house some wonderful facilities. The school has a very lively Arts community with a wide range of musical, theatrical and art activities running throughout the year. I personally benefited greatly from the excellent music tuition I received at the school. I would not hesitate to recommend this school to anyone in the area looking for a private Day school, but also for anyone looking for a good boarding school as the school has excellent boarding facilities for both girls and boys. It was wonderful to live in such a friendly and supportive community and when you leave the school that continues through the Old Grovians association which is run enthusiastically by a committee of past pupils (old grovians). It's a school you'll be a part of for life.
