Decorate your uni room in style
Be the trend setter of your uni friends with these interior design trends perfect to brighten up your uni room. If you have got into your room and are thinking you have no idea what to do with this huge bare room, fear not! We have some great ideas to help you make the most of your room and show you how to decorate your uni room in style. Add lighting While natural daylight is great, it is always good to have some additional lighting to your room. Most girls go for the fairy light effect, while boys find it harder on choosing additional lighting. We would suggest the Pixar style lamp, these are cheap, and look great too! Add a rug A rug tends to finish off a room, they not only look good but they are also very practical. As you are in university accommodation, any marks or damages will have to be paid for, and so a rug will help clear any spillages on the floor, meaning no charges will be coming your way! The in-trend rugs at the moment are the geometrical style. They draw your eye into a focal point, allowing you to […]

Student guide to moving into your new house
It’s getting to that time where you are moving into your new house, ready to start another year of uni! You have found the perfect new home, now it’s the hard part…trying to fit all your possessions into one car. Once you have managed to play Tetris with it all, it is time to head to your new house. It can be daunting moving into a new house. So we have tried to make it easier for you and created a list to help make sure you haven’t missed anything! Make sure all paperwork is signed before moving into your new house Before you move in, every tenant from the house needs to make sure they have completed all their paperwork. Otherwise no one can collect their keys. This includes all the tenancy agreements must be signed, all references checked and guarantor forms to be completed. So we advise to get these done as soon as possible. Remember your passport With the new Right to Rent legislation, you must provide us with your passport and if needed a residence permit. This is essential for you to be able to collect your keys. Make sure you do an […]

Student guide to help setting up your utility bills
Moving into a new house can be difficult and stressful. Therefore you want to try and make the move as stress free as possible. Setting up your utility bills for a house share can be difficult, especially if you are living with multiple people. It is important you think about when your bills are due and how you are going to pay them on time. The best way we would suggest is to split the responsibility. So everyone is involved with prioritising the bills and making sure they are paid on time. Split the responsibility We would recommend splitting the bills as it involves everyone and no one is left with the sole responsibility. For example, each tenant takes on the responsibility of either gas, electricity, water, Wi-Fi or TV licence. Then when each of the bills are due, each tenant collects the money from each housemate. This makes it quick and simple, and is fair for each housemate. One thing to remember if taking this approach, each tenant must have enough money to pay for the whole bill unless you get payment upfront.

Let’s go to the Beach!
Most students have probably left for the year now, however, if you are one of the few who have stayed in Newcastle, then don’t worry there is plenty to do here in the North East. Newcastle city centre is great, full of life, but sometimes you need to escape the hectic centre! So why not go to the great beaches we have to offer in the North East. The North East coast has great transport links, so it is easy to get to even if you don’t have a car! Tynemouth If you are heading by metro, be sure to get off in Tynemouth on a Saturday and Sunday. Every weekend Tynemouth metro station comes alive with market traders selling everything you could imagine! Then head to the centre and grab yourself some fish and chips along the way down to the beach. We suggest Riley’s Fish Shack, its famous for its local fabulous fish! Right on King Edwards Bay, so it can’t be missed! Tynemouth has a beautiful priory for those looking to inject some culture to their weekend! If you are looking to have a drink, take a look at Lola Jeans, they do great food […]

The best student bank accounts 2017
So you have got into university, something that probably isn’t top of your list is student bank accounts. The bank account you have now possibly isn’t the right option for you when in higher education as it will not have the necessary features required for you when in university. Like an overdraft or freebies that you wouldn’t get if you didn’t switch to a student account. Getting an overdraft is always a good option. Many student bank accounts offer 0% overdraft. Overdrafts can be scary to many but on occasions it may help your cash flow. Therefore, many banks do offer 0% overdraft, most students aim to get the biggest and longest guaranteed 0% limit, as this will help you throughout your time at university in case loans or accommodation don’t arrive on time or in case you buy too many drinks at the bar one night. However, other banks offer freebies to try and entice students. The main catch is a free rail card, rail cards are particularly useful for students who are living far away from home. These rail cards offer 1/3 off the usual price. Santander Many university campuses have a Santander bank on site, this […]
