Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ideal time to look for student accommodation in Newcastle?


You should start looking before 3-5 months for Newcastle student accommodation once you submit the university application. While Casita is there to help you with most of the steps; the room type, the amenities provided, the location, and proximity to your university, thorough research is still an essential step to ensure a smooth booking process. Also, if in any case you don't receive your university acceptance letter, Casita gives you the liberty of free cancellation with no hidden charges.

Can you suggest any Newcastle student residences that are pet-friendly?

Unfortunately, it does not seem that any of our student accommodations are pet-friendly. However, our options are constantly updated, so contact our expert staff and keep track of our website for any updates. 

When is the best time to start searching for housing in Newcastle?

It is best to start looking for accommodation in January or February for a September start. Early booking often secures better rates and ensures you get your first choice of room type in popular buildings.

Can I tour my chosen accommodation before I commit to a contract?

Yes, most Newcastle student housing providers offer both in-person tours and detailed virtual walkthroughs. You can coordinate with them to schedule a viewing to ensure the room meets your specific needs.

What are the pros of choosing off-campus student housing?

Off-campus apartments often provide more modern facilities like cinema rooms and private gyms compared to traditional dorms. They also give students a chance to live in diverse residential areas outside the immediate university bubble.
