Private Accommodation
Accommodation which is not purpose built for students and where students live in furnished flats or houses is called private accommodation.
Newcastle College does not carry out any checks on private accommodation and students and parents or guardians need to satisfy themselves that the accommodation is acceptable.
Most continuing students at the college live in furnished flats or houses.
You will need to:
- Check out the Student Housing magazine, which is available in the International Office.
- Phone landlords and make appointments to view properties. You should take details of many addresses as by the time you get to see them, some will have already gone and others may not be very good.
- Visit landlords, inspect properties. If the current students are still in occupation, ask if it is alright to have a look around. Most students will not mind. Ask the current occupants about any practical problems they may have had.
We recommend that you take a friend with you on all viewings and that you do not accept any property until you have inspected it. If you are looking at the database from overseas, we advise against committing to property until you can inspect it yourself.
The Student Housing magazine is a commercially produced magazine – listing student accommodations in Newcastle. The accommodation advertised in the magazine is not endorsed or recommended in any way by Newcastle College. However, only property registered under the House in Multiple Occupation Licence or Accommodation Accreditation Scheme are advertised through the International Office.
Should you need any advice or assistance, please call into the International Office – we are open Monday – Thursday 9.00am – 4.00pm & Friday Friday 9.00am – 3.30pm.
