There is so much to love about Newcastle from the community to our campus to the city; Newcastle truly does haves the ability to make anyone who steps foot within the city fall in love. The city feels like it belongs to each and every single resident as with a diverse culture there is truly something that everyone can find to love about Newcastle. Here is what the Courier Editorial Team love about Newcastle:
Libby Griffiths, Editor-in-Chief – “My favourite thing about Newcastle is the community! Everyone is so friendly and loving and welcoming whether it’s students or locals or tourists or anyone. No matter what street you walk down or cafe you have lunch in or shop you browse in; everyone will always have a smile gleaming from their faces. People from Newcastle truly do prove the assumption that people for the North are friendly! Even if you are not from Newcastle the residents of the city have the ability to make it feel like home for anyone visiting.”

Aarya Shenoy, Sports Sub-editor – “I love the Millenium Bridge! Sitting there at night with a few friends, just talking in the city, or listening to music in my headphones sat by myself. I’ll miss living so close to it but it’s always going to hold fond memories from my first year. Although, it will definitely be a spot that I return to frequently throughout my second year!”
Newcastle has this rare mix of big-city energy and small-town warmth
Jess Mooney, Head of Current Affairs - "I honestly think it’s one of the happiest places in the world. You’ll find people from all walks of life, a mix of cultures, and a wide range of experiences being shared and celebrated. That diversity gives the city a richness and openness that I absolutely love. Newcastle has this rare mix of big-city energy and small-town warmth, and that combination has made it feel incredibly special to me.”
Adam Lovegrove, Deputy Editor - “I love how much there is to discover in the city centre. I’m heading into my fourth year in Newcastle now and still find new places every week: food spots, coffee shops, charity stores, pubs and bars, you name it. The city centre is so compact that traversing it is so easy, while also feeling so expansive that it can seem impossible to see it all. I have my selection of places that I always return to, but it’s nice how easy it is to find a new favourite spot with just a little exploring.“
Scarlet Palmer, Campus Comment Sub-editor: “I absolutely love how friendly everyone is and how welcome the community makes you feel as freshers and as university students. The campus has such a lovely feel and the flowers and bright colours make it feel so warm no matter what time of year, and of course the clubs are always a good time!”
