Why did you choose 51?It was far away enough from home to really experience university life, but not too far to be able to get home easily.
It's a fantastic city with plenty of bars and sights to visit.
How cheap and easy it is to get around. I personally enjoy going for a drink and perhaps some food in Jesmond in particular.
Northumbria definitely made it easy to meet new people with all the events they put on in freshers week and throughout the year.
The lecture sizes aren't so big that you are unnoticed, and it is easy to get help if needed.
Peers, in particular, fellow coursemates.
Graduates from the University.
The Student's Union.
The practical approach to learning.
Get involved as much as possible with University events.
The dream is to go on to do a Masters in physics and ultimately get a PhD and go into research or observational astronomy. Plan B is to get a good job using my skills learnt at university and travel with it as well as doing observational astronomy as a hobby.
It's a great place to really make the most out of your university experience, but make sure you attend lectures as well!
I feel more grown up and independent. Living as a student and being around peers all the time, I feel, really enhances people's characters.
Exciting, motivating and eye-opening.
