What Should I Bring?

You can wear casual clothes at Bitesize Uni - whatever you feel comfortable in. Remember though that 'Summer' does not mean sunshine so make sure you bring a warm/waterproof jacket!

Newcastle University's campus is spread over a large area. You can expect to be doing a lot of walking - so bring some comfy shoes like trainers.

Please don't bring:

  • Expensive jewellery or other items
  • Electrical/electronic equipment
  • Large amounts of money
  • Anything that is valuable or expensive

The University cannot be held responsible if any of your belongings are lost or stolen.

You may want to bring some clothes for the social activities. On the last night we will be having a party in NUSU (Newcastle University Student Union).

Other than clothes you should bring toiletries and an alarm clock and watch!
