About Newman University

PROS

  • A recurring source of praise from students is that the career office provides excellent service. Popular aspects of their support include StrengthsQuest, workshops, and work experience placement programmes.
  • Newman offers various accommodation options at different price points. Their halls include Carrocci Hall, Beata Hall, Merlini Hall, and Fugate Hall. Applicants should be aware first -time students have priority in Carrocci Hall.
  • Something that many students praise is the strong sense of community at Newman University, in part thanks to the shared vision of a Catholic institution among students and staff.

CONS

  • The food sold at the canteen is not at the standards students expect. According to the students, this is due to poor quality, a lack of variation, and elevated prices.
  • Many complain that the IT system goes down often, so the students are left without internet or e -book access.
