Newcastle University Accommodation Alternatives: Stay Central with HNFC Stays
Newcastle is one of the UK’s most vibrant student cities, with not one but two major universities.
Each September, the city fills with excitement as new students arrive for freshers’ week, while parents and friends search for nearby Northumbria or Newcastle University accommodation to be part of the excitement.
Back to University: Where to Stay During Move-In and Freshers’ Week
It’s officially Back to Uni season, and for many parents and friends, that means a trip to Newcastle. While your loved ones settle into their Newcastle University accommodation, you’ll need somewhere nearby that’s comfortable and convenient.
Whether you’re sticking around for Northumbria University Freshers Week 2025 or are simply looking for accommodation near Northumbria University, Newcastle has plenty to offer.
Hotels can be pricey and student halls are usually off-limits for visitors, which is why short-term rentals like HNFC Stays are such a popular choice.
Studios and Short-Term Rentals in the City Centre
In Newcastle, student accommodation studio is a common format, but we’ve taken the idea further. At HNFC Stays, we’ve repurposed central studios into private spaces, perfect for solo travellers or friends visiting during university events.
If you’re after a bigger place, our Grey Street apartments can welcome a family of 6 and are 10-15 minutes away from Northumbria and Newcastle Universities. You get more privacy and flexibility than you would in a hotel — plus modern interiors and everything you need for a relaxed stay.
Our locations put you within easy walking distance of both campuses, meaning you’re never far from the action.
Whether you’re dropping your son or daughter off at university, helping a friend get settled, or simply soaking up the atmosphere of a buzzing city, we’ve got a place that fits.
A Warm Welcome Year-Round
We’re here beyond freshers’ week, too. From move-in weekends to graduation ceremonies, you can always count on HNFC Stays for convenient alternatives to Newcastle University accommodation.
