Hi I'm Kalena and I study marketing
here at Newcastle University
Today I'll be showing you around Castle Leazes
Castle Leazes is located right across the moor
from our brand new University Sports Centre
Medical and Dental School
It's also just a quick ten minute walk from main city centre
Accomodation is arranged in a number of blocks
ranging from 4 to 9 floors
surrounded by gorgeous courtyards
There are also lifts available in four of the blocks
This accomodation is home to catered
self-catered, en-suite, washbasin rooms and accessible rooms
making it a very social living space
so come with me and let's take a look inside
Castle Leazes has three types of bedrooms
Accessible rooms, En-suite and Washbasin rooms
This is an Accessible room
Accessible rooms are fit to be a bit more spacious
but still full of all of your uni necessities
like free fast wifi
bed, desk, wardrobe and plenty of storage space
take a look around!
This is a Washbasin room
complete with everything you need to get started at uni
you have a desk to do all of your work at
free fast wifi, wardrobe, and a comfy bed
with plenty of underbed storage space
Since your sink is located here in your room
your bathroom facilities are located
right around the hall from the corner
take a look around!
This is an En-suite room
Just like the Washbasin room it comes complete
with all the neccesities like a desk, wardrobe and free wifi
except you also get your own bathroom
pretty big right?
similar to that you also get your own communal area
which we'll head to now
take a look around!
All En-suite rooms are located in a flat
which includes a spacious communal area
complete with a flat-screen TV
it's the perfect place to come hang out
after a long day of classes
The TV license is also included in your rent
so no need to worry about that
take a look around!
Castle Leazes has two types of kitchens
depending on whether you've chosen
to be catered or self-catered
Catered students who live in a Washbasin room
are assigned this smaller sized kitchen
still complete with everything you need
you have a hob, toaster, oven, kettle
and plenty of storage space
so take a look around here
and next I'll show you the larger kitchen
This is one of our larger kitchens
that comes with our En-suite rooms
The kitchen is the perfect place to chat with flatmates
and make all of your favourite foods
Since you won't have your meals pre-made for you
here is the perfect place to get started
you have two 4-hob stoves
a microwave, kettle, toaster, oven
and two big refrigerators
take a look around!
Welcome to the Computer Cluster room
with over 24 PC's it's the perfect place
to squeeze in some study before all the fun begins
Castle Leazes also has printing services
available right here so you
don't need to travel to campus to print
We also have a snooker table room
that hosts many snooker tournaments
and we also have a cinema room, brand new
with a 70" plasma screen TV
there's also a study televison room
if you just want to hang out, study
and watch a little bit of TV!
so take a look around here
and I'll be waiting for you over there
So here we are in Castle Leazes Dining Hall

you'll spend most of your time eating
