Your own bathroom, a shared kitchen
En-suite rooms in Newcastle cost noticeably less than studios. You share a kitchen and lounge with your flat, usually in a building a few minutes from campus.
Before you chooseAsk how many people share the kitchen and whether the flat mixes students from both universities.

Flats for friends in the city centre
Newcastle has a small choice of student apartments. They suit friends who want their own kitchen and lounge without renting a private house in Jesmond or Heaton.
Before you chooseConfirm if the rent is per person or for the whole flat.

A smaller choice at a lower rent
Only a couple of Newcastle properties on our site offer non-ensuite rooms. You get your own bedroom and share a bathroom with others.
Before you chooseAsk how many people share each bathroom and what the weekly rent includes.
See Newcastle non-ensuite roomsNewcastle's two universities sit side by side in the city centre: Newcastle University off Queen Victoria Road and Northumbria's City Campus a few minutes away. Most private student properties we list are within a mile of both. Rooms start at around £105 a week, and shared houses in Jesmond and Heaton are the other big choice.
Newcastle University's main campus sits just north of the city centre, with the Helix science quarter to the west. Read about the streets closest to campus, Leazes Park, the Helix, Jesmond, city centre living and quieter rooms for postgraduates.
Newcastle University's main campus sits off Queen Victoria Road, NE1 7RU, beside Haymarket Metro. The best base for most courses is within ten minutes on foot, either in the city centre or the streets just north. Check which building runs your course before you choose.
Strawberry Place and the streets around Leazes Park sit between the campus and St James' Park, the football ground. Several newer student blocks stand here, a few minutes from lectures and the shops. Expect crowds and noise on match days, so find out if your window looks onto the stadium.
The Helix, west of the main campus, is home to the Urban Sciences Building, where Newcastle University teaches computing and data science. From Pitt Street or Westgate Road it is only a few minutes on foot. If your course is based here, it beats living on the north side of campus.
Jesmond, just north of the university, is a classic second year area of terraced houses, cafes and Osborne Road bars. It sits a 15 to 20 minute walk from campus, with West Jesmond and Jesmond Metro stations close by. Shared houses here are let by private landlords, so check the bills.
More of our Newcastle properties sit in the city centre than anywhere else, many within a few minutes of Haymarket and Northumberland Street. Living centrally means both universities, the station and the shops are on foot. Older conversions here usually undercut the newest blocks with gyms.
Postgraduates often want a studio, a quieter floor and a contract that runs into the summer. Oxford House is one Newcastle property that says it suits both undergraduates and postgraduates, with studios of around 17 to 27 square metres. A 51 week tenancy covers dissertation months without a move.
Student houses Newcastle is one of the city's biggest accommodation searches. Below, we weigh houses against purpose built blocks, and look at Jesmond, Heaton, Sandyford, Fenham and Shieldfield.
Not always. A room in a Newcastle shared house can cost less per week, but you usually pay gas, electricity and broadband on top. Purpose built properties bundle furniture and bills into one weekly price. Add realistic bills to a house rent before you decide which is cheaper.
Heaton, east of Jesmond, has rows of Tyneside flats and terraced houses that many students share from second year. Rents are often lower than in Jesmond, and Chillingham Road has shops and takeaways. The walk to campus is longer, so check the bus or Metro from your street.
Many older Newcastle homes are Tyneside flats: two separate flats in one terrace, one upstairs and one downstairs, each with its own front door. They suit groups of three to five friends. Ask which floor you are viewing, as upstairs and downstairs flats can differ a lot in layout.
Sandyford sits between Jesmond and the city centre, close to both universities on foot. It mixes older houses with a few purpose built student blocks, so you can find either type here. It is a good compromise if you want house life without a long walk to lectures.
Fenham, about a mile and a half west of the centre, is quieter and often cheaper than the areas next to campus. St Mary's there has offered some of the lowest rents on our Newcastle pages, including rooms with a shared bathroom. Budget for buses into town each day.
Shieldfield, in NE2 just east of the centre, holds one of the biggest clusters of purpose built student properties we list, under a mile from both universities. Rooms here come furnished with bills included, which keeps first year simple. It sits close to Northumbria's City Campus too.
Northumbria splits its teaching between City Campus, in the centre, and Coach Lane in Benton, three miles east. This tab covers both sites, the Ouseburn, the Metro and buses, and shorter contracts for placement students.
Northumbria University's City Campus sits in the city centre, and the university names Haymarket as its nearest Metro station. Many private properties quote a walk of under ten minutes to its buildings. Treat those times as a guide and walk the route yourself if you can.
Albert Street, Tower Street and the roads around Northumberland Road sit right beside City Campus and the business and law buildings. Rooms here put lectures, Haymarket Metro and Eldon Square within a few minutes. Expect city centre prices and some late night noise from nearby bars.
The Ouseburn valley, east of the centre, is Newcastle's creative quarter, with music venues, studios and pubs along the burn. Several student properties sit on its edge around Stepney Bank, a short walk from Northumbria's City Campus. It suits students who want character over the newest blocks.
Northumbria's Coach Lane campus lies three miles east of the centre in Benton and hosts health, education and community courses. Students based there full time can still live centrally, but should time the daily journey first. Placement students may prefer a room nearer Benton itself, out on the campus side of the city.
The Number 1 bus runs between the city centre and Coach Lane every 8 to 10 minutes and is free with a university pass, Northumbria says. Four Lane Ends Metro is also close to the campus. Build the trip into your timetable, especially for early placements.
Some Newcastle properties near Northumbria let rooms for a single term or from January to July, which suits students on placement for part of the year. Albert Place is one that has offered both a 13 week autumn term and a 27 week spring contract. Ask early, as these rooms go quickly.
Newcastle sits in the middle of UK student rents, with almost every property we list including bills. Here you will find the typical weekly rate, the cheapest rooms, studio prices, couples, upfront payments and the top end of the market.
Newcastle's middle rent sits at around £185 a week, with en-suites from around £125 and studios from around £145. Bills and Wi-Fi come inside the rent nearly everywhere we list, which makes the weekly price easy to plan around. Food, travel and course costs come on top.
Newcastle's lowest rents start at around £105 a week, usually for a bedroom with a wash basin and a shared bathroom in a small cluster flat. St Mary's in Fenham has offered rooms like this. Expect a bus ride into town, and check what the shared bathroom ratio is.
Studios in Newcastle start at around £145 a week for 12 to 18 square metres, with a kitchenette and shower room. Higher grades add a washer dryer or more space, and the largest studios pass £240. Weigh the extra privacy against the social side of a shared flat.
Yes, where the provider allows it, so read the tenancy terms. Roman House on Hanover Square is one Newcastle property that has said its classic studios fit a couple without a surcharge. Terms shift from year to year, so get the second person's cost confirmed by email.
In Newcastle the same sum, often around £100 to £150, can be called a deposit at one property and advance rent at another. Some studios take two weeks of rent upfront. Ask which payments come back at the end and which go against your rent.
Newcastle's dearest studios cost close to £500 a week, with 30 square metre layouts, dishwashers and corner sofas. Vita Strawberry Place, near St James' Park, is one example at the top of our range. Advance rent there can equal two weeks, so budget for it.
Newcastle is easy to get to know, but a little guidance can go a long way. Our student guides help you navigate everything from choosing the right area to settling into student life and making the most of your time in the city.
