Newcastle for Students

The cost of living in Newcastle is incredibly reasonable, especially when compared to Sydney. Newcastle also has several reliable public transport options, with the most widely used is the bus service.
One of the things that Newcastle is famous for, are its beaches. This coastal city has eight great beaches that allow you to indulge in your every ocean-related whim.
If you’d rather spend your time on the arts and culture scene then you’re also in luck, because Newcastle caters to just about every cultural taste imaginable. Newcastle Art Gallery is nationally famous for its permanent collection and diverse exhibitions.
Newcastle Museum has collections that cover everything from history, science and the natural environment to sports, technology and industry. There is also a vibrant performing arts scene, with several theatres (small, medium and large) in the city.
There’s all the usual shopping centres, boutiques, supermarkets, and outlets for retail therapy, but you should definitely make an effort to get to the organic food market at Hunter Street Mall.
