Hiiii *waves*

Sorry I haven't been posting for absolute yonks.
Just got a quick question for you lovelies.

I've started the joyous job of looking for uni's (yawns) I've found a few I like(apart from the disgusting requirements)
This is where you lovely lot come in.
What's the general gigging/night life/general life like in Newcastle and York??
I've been to both places alot but never really gone out much(I sound like a hermit!) apart from with the rellies.

Ooo also does anyone know any uni's that have good music(General BAmusic) or photography courses.
I've got 3 so far but the school have decided I need to find two more.

Any help would be fabulous!

gigging - gotta be Newcastle

Nite out - depends what you want. York used to have a pub for every day of the year (365) apparently. Newcastle can be as sleazy/non sleazy as you want it.

Seen as you will be staying in and studying then will it matter?

I know a couple of people who have started uni in "the toon" and have said it's the best thing they every did...

Thankies. I'm swaying over to the Newcastle side atm The music part of the uni looks like Hogwarts!

I would have to disagree with Newcastle from a gig perspective... it does have it's fair share of gigs, but to get anywhere else from newcastle is a pain in the arse, so you might actually be better in York as it's only a short train ride to Newcastle, and Leeds/Manchester/Sheffield are pretty close.

For a general pissed up night out, Newcastle wins hands down though. Go for nights out in both cities and get a feel for the places... might help you make your mind up!
