Quay Point Studios Newcastle Student Accommodation

Choosing student accommodation becomes easier when the room suits the way you actually want to live. Some students prefer having their own kitchen and bathroom, while others want a little more space for studying, relaxing and settling into a routine. Quay Point Newcastle offers both studios and one-bedroom flats, giving students more independence while keeping Northumbria University, Newcastle city centre and local transport links close by.

Located on Melbourne Street, the property is well placed for students who want to spend less time travelling between home, university and the city. The accommodation comes with furnished rooms, bills included and shared facilities within the building, so most of the practical details are taken care of from the start.

About Quay Point Studios

Quay Point Studios is suited to students who prefer having their own space rather than sharing a kitchen or bathroom with flatmates. Each studio has its own kitchen, bathroom and study area, giving residents more control over their daily routine.

The property also has one-bedroom flats for students who want separate sleeping and living areas. These provide a little more room while keeping the same sense of privacy offered by the studios.

Having your own space does not mean being completely removed from student life. Residents can use the common room, cinema room and other social areas when they want to meet people or take a break from studying. There are also dedicated study rooms for days when working in your own room is not quite enough.
