"everything on your doorstep."

Newcastle is the smallest big city in the UK – but don’t let the modest footprint of the city fool you. Newcastle has so much to offer, and everything is on your doorstep.

In Newcastle you’ll feel welcomed and comfortable the moment you arrive. Newcastle has a fantastic nightlife – it’s wallet-friendly, and you’re guaranteed to find new friends. The most popular spot is the Diamond Strip, where you’ll find the majority of clubs. Or, if you’re on the hunt for cocktails and sophistication, you’ll want to head over to Quayside.

The Angel of the North sculpture stands on a grassy hill under a vibrant sky with orange, yellow, and blue hues during sunset. The large metal angel has outstretched wings and is silhouetted against the colorful backdrop.
"Incredible views of the city."

As well as cocktail bars, Quayside boasts an impressive selection of culture, music and arts venues – including the Sage and BALTIC, where you can take in incredible views of the city, and go to thought-provoking art exhibitions, all for free. If you’re looking for more hands-on fun, Newcastle is also home to boutique bowling alleys, live music venues, and the city’s namesake castle to explore.

There’s so much to see and do in this compact metropolis, but you can also always rely on your Vita Student building to give you space to knuckle down when you need it. We offer more facilities than any other student accommodation in Newcastle with movie rooms, onsite gyms, plenty of sociable seating and tons of study space to give all our residents the space to do their own thing.

    more

    Newcastle is a haven of creativity – come rain or shine, you’ll never be stuck for something to do. Ouseburn is one of Newcastle’s cultural hubs – with great pubs, bars and restaurants, it’s the place to be on a Saturday afternoon and great for a pub crawl. Once a flour mill, the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art is definitely worth a visit if you’re into your art – a really cool spot. The Biscuit Factory is another favourite with locals and visitors alike – take in a range of contemporary art before sitting down for great food on their outdoor terrace. If you’re a fan of the great outdoors, there’s lots for you to get up to. Our recommendation? Head to Ice-Dip Social in the winter months – a freezing cold plunge into the North Sea, followed by a sauna and food. What better way to warm up?
