I'm surprised to see how many people actually like Newcastle. I've lived here all my life and I'm really sick of it now. The geordie culture and drinking culture are really idiotic to be honest and get boring quickly.
As with most cities there are some nice areas and some really, really rough areas too.
I lived in Jesmond whilst I was at uni and whilst people have said it's a great area, it is nice as long as you can tolerate the snobby student types that it attracts. Basically Jesmond is the area that the more well off students can afford to live in and from living in that area I found them to be very selfish.
I live in Fenham now though and it's by far my favourite area of the city. There are lots of students living in this area but they are way more considerate.

Haha I forgot this thread might of brought on some entertaining Newcastle/Sunderland banter!
At least I know have some sort of understanding of which areas would be best to look for. Swaying towards a shared house because I think it would be a good way to meet people and a laugh.

I've not checked out Zoopla just yet only Right Move. You reckon it's filter would be good enough to refine that search?

I'd say Newcastle drinking culture is heavily influenced by the number of stag, hen and out of town visits. Loads of people love drinking up in Newcastle and I know from getting train fromsScotland on weekends loads of people go for wild weekends.
Although geordies do love a drink, but no more than anywhere else I've lived.
Regarding the metro, it's great for commuting and it's been reliable for my own mother for many years and was reliable for me for 6 years. Can't complain about it at all considering other city transport links are no better.
