Last Friday (the day after Greenwich) was a day trip to Newcastle University during freshers week including a full campus tour. Things we liked: the posh student restaurant, the brand new sports facilities (top class), the quadrangle, the Library (apparently charter marked and it shows), the student computers in the library. Things we didn't like: the building site next to the main self catered Halls (its going to be a noisy year), the building and old school facilities that house the English Faculty (although it will relocate in the next few years), the emphasis on booze, the priority investment in Health, Medicine,Dentistry. I think we felt that it will be a grand place when its finished (£200M investment programme in next 5 years) but you may not want to be part of the building site while it gets there?
