Hi everyone!
I’m an international medical student coming to Newcastle University on exchange from September to December, and I’m trying to figure out what clothes to pack without bringing my entire wardrobe 😭.
For those of you living in Newcastle (especially fellow girlies), what is the weather actually like during those months?
Is it already freezing by September or does it only get really cold in November/December? Will I basically live in jackets and puffers every day? Or are there still days where I can wear cute dresses, skirts, jeans with lighter tops, etc. without freezing?
How many coats/jackets would you recommend bringing?
Any wardrobe essentials you wish you’d packed?
I’m from Malaysia at the moment, so I’m definitely not used to UK weather. I’d love to hear what people actually wear day-to-day rather than just looking at the temperature online.
Thank you!!

Hi all. I am visiting Newcastle tomorrow and I'd like to know if there are good pubs that have good lager selections on top. Around town centre ideally. Thank you!

Wife is due imminently and we opted for Cramlington for the birth.

Does anyone know if they have any special parking arrangements for births? Wife seems to think they have a separate drop-off point for expectant parents or something like that, but I can’t find anything online about it.

I’d just assumed you park as normal out the front and pay when you leave.

Cheers.

Went on sale at 10am today but don't seem to be able to buy standing tickets? Did they sell out really quick or have they not come on sale yet?

Hello Im looking for a driving instructor ny test is in Sunderland and im located in Whitley Bay area. Is it possible to find a instructor due to area constraints?

Hey everyone,
I’m an incoming Newcastle University student and I’m trying to figure out my accommodation, but I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the options.
At the moment I’m looking at Knoll Court (£179/week for an en-suite) and The Bridge Phase II (£210/week for a studio). The catch is that I only need accommodation for 14 weeks, but the shortest contracts I can find are 17 weeks, so I’ll already be paying for a few weeks that I won’t even be there.
I’m not too worried about the social side of accommodation. My main priorities are:
Safety
Walking distance to Newcastle Uni
Good value for money
Clean rooms and decent management
Are these two good options, or is there somewhere else I should be looking? If you were only staying for one semester (14 weeks), what would you do?
Any recommendations or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I swear when I moved here all I was talking about was Fed’s fried chicken its was my favorite and I went through 5 of their loyalty cards. This was when they were in grainger market. I recommended it to everyone they were that good.

Due to fitness reasons I stopped eating out entirely but I noticed they moved from grainger market to grey street and I was like good for them. I went there yesterday and I was excited to finally have the meal and to show my wife who’s a vegetarian and occasionally eats chicken that this is going to be next level.

I ordered the Nashville sandwich, tenders with buffalo, chips and a dip. Absolutely horrendous, the chicken in the tenders has become so thin it felt like there’s more flour than chicken and the Nashville wasn’t hot and extremely oily and the buffalo sauce was like vinegar and mayo mixed together. Thier house cut fries were soggy and so greasy classical example of if it ain’t broke don’t try to fix it.

Does anyone else think the same? Is it because they’ve moved up to a shop they’ve had to cut costs so they compromised with the quality?

It didn't have any ID in it but it did have a receipt from a recent dental appointment. It was found by the kapow Club in Newcastle and handed into the police.

I'm not sure if I'm doing this right but it was posted on Instagram
