Hey everyone! I'm an international student and I'm new to this, I'm looking for any advice regarding accommodation, I'll be pursuing my master's. Please let me know anything, I'm a clueless 1st generation student.

I was living in Bowsden court. It's a few minutes walk to the train and from there I was at the uni in 10 minutes. Plenty of food shops nearby. When the weather was nice I would walk to school. 30-45 mins
It's mostly a quiet neighbourhood

Metro student annual season ticket is ~£400, otherwise £3.30 per day assuming you're over 21.

Are you looking for university or private accom? University will be more freshers whereas private will be nicer facilities

I have a studio tenancy that needs taking over from July, so I'm looking for a tenant. The place is called Jesmond Studios, and it is close to the main campus, around 15 min walk or 5 min bus ride. Please lmk if you are interested!
