The apartment facilities are very good, super close to the business school, shopping is also very convenient, the staff is very friendly, especially Michael, he is super friendly and helpful, every time we meet, we always say Hi and it is a pleasure to talk to him. He helped me a lot. When I first came to Newcastle, he kindly instructed me how to use the public facilities in my apartment, such as garbage room, laundry room and common room. Thank you very much!

St James' Point Biography
St James’ Point is ideal for students at Newcastle University Business School, as it is located right opposite. It's also only a nine-minute walk from Newcastle University’s main campus and no more than an eighteen-minute walk to the different Northumbria University campuses.
St James’ Point has great social spaces including a social lounge to relax in after university and a garden for when the sun decides to shine. The social events calendar that runs throughout the year is the perfect time to socialise and meet new friends. Residents also benefit from a study room, secure bike storage, and onsite laundry facilities.
St James’ Point offers students a choice of stylish rooms that all have modern fittings and furnishings. If you are after more private space you can opt for a self-contained studio with a fitted kitchenette, en-suite shower room, and personal study space. Or, if you’d like more communal living, the en-suite rooms share a kitchen and living space in a flat of up to five people - ideal if you’re looking to live with friends.

All the Answers You Need About Student Accommodation
What tenancy length do I need?
Some students choose to stay during the academic year, whilst others – particularly international students – require a tenancy that covers the entire year. You can also find student accommodation that is available for one or two terms, classified as a “short stay” on our search filters.
Should I stay in catered student accommodation?
This is totally up to you! Catered accommodation means you will be served meals at set times in a dining hall, and you’ll likely have access to fewer kitchen facilities than if you were to stay in self-catered accommodation.
What is a guarantor and do I need one?
A guarantor is a person who signs a contract to agree to pay your rent if you are unable to. Most university accommodation requires a guarantor, and this applies to both domestic and international students.
Will I need to pay a deposit on student accommodation?
Most likely, yes, you’ll need to pay a deposit. This will be refunded at the end of your stay as long as there is no damage to the room or property.
What bills will my rent include?
If you are staying in university-run accommodation or private halls, your rent should include any utilities such as electricity, gas, water, and internet. Students are not required to pay council tax, however you may need to fill in an exemption form so make sure you check with your local council.
What is purpose-built student accommodation?
Purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) are residential buildings designed for students. They are often located close to campus, boast modern facilities, include all bills, and often have staff on site to assist residents.
Will my student accommodation be furnished?
Student accommodation is typically fully furnished. Your room should include at least a bed, clothes storage, desk and chair. You’ll likely need to bring things such as bedding and kitchen utensils, but we have a full list here of everything you’ll need.

Overall a good place to stay. Common space could be improve with more board games. Took half a year for the pool cue to be replaced. Staffs are nice and helpful so far. (Mark Q)

To be honest all of the morning shift staff are rude and they lack of efficiency except wackey if I am not misspelling his name, he’s a good guy he loves to help. As for the night shift staff( night owls 🦉) They are all helpful, cheerful, and cooperative, and they always strive to develop the place and make it a suitable environment for students. My greetings to all the night shift staff first, and then my special greetings to Michael. I have lived in many places and dealt with many employees, but I have not found anyone like Michael. He is a very special man who adds value to the place. He is respectful and loves to help. If there is a reason for me to renew my contract, it will only be because of Michael!
Hi there, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We’re very pleased to hear you’ve found our Night Owls to be so friendly and helpful, especially Michael, it’s wonderful to know that his efforts are valued by our residents. We appreciate the feedback you’ve provided on our morning team members and will be sure to feed this back to the management team. We value all resident feedback and use this to further improve our services for current and future residents. Many thanks - Student Roost
I think the attitude at the reception is better than before.
The staff are very friendly and always willing to help. Mark is a great Student Roost representative; whenever I requested something he was there to provide what I needed. I literally had a very good time staying with Student Roost Jame’s Point. The place is designed for students to high standards. Compared to other student accommodations, this place is at the very top I would probably rank it 1 or 2 in Newcastle.
Good experience but no social spaces
Amazing close to the university location
Thank you for Leaving us a review and for choosing to stay here with us at St James Point.
i enjoy live in st James point I am check out today, I will miss this place especially Rita who speaks mandarin, she is very helpful!
Very good ,i feel like living in my home.
Great! Especially Rita, she helps me a lot！
On 12th June, I checked in, and found the windows in my room are dirty which full of mud and bird ****, so I asked the frontdesk and they said they will clean in next few weeks. What's worse, when I open the clothes store I found a lot of cleaning tool in there with A LOT OF DIRTS I don't know who leave there and I feel so frustrated, and one thing is great that they are serious about the self-isolation and they provide help for the delivery the takeaway and parcel to your room.
Amazing Staff! even at night, across the road from business school. great place to live
No good. Dirty. Smelly. Aggressive staffs
Very good location. Would definitely stay here next year
The place and especially the washing machines in the main building are filthy. FILTHY. I have reported that issue 3 times now and to no avail. I have also been having problems with noisy neighbours for weeks now and nobody has replied to my emails or tried to help in any way. The walls and floor of my room are vibrating from the bass of somebody's music. And it's been happening every day, all day, only stopping at 2:00am! Like how am I supposed to sleep or study? And I am paying huge amounts of money to stay here. IT'S HORRIBLE. DO NOT RECOMMEND!
Great location and friendly staff.
It has the best location you can ever ask for! 5 minutes to Chinatown, less than 10 minutes to city centre, 30 seconds to business school! Very friendly staffs, maintenance is always prompt and responsive if anything is broken. 24hours security and parcels will always be collected.
Hello, thank you for your review! Our location is one of our favourite things about the property too. We love that all of our staff are able to help you 24 hours a day, no matter what, and that we can make sure you always receive your parcels! We'll make sure to pass on your kind words to our maintenance team and out of hours staff too. Thanks again!
The best student accommodation to stay in Newcastle! Rooms are really spacious with so many facilities! Only minutes away from the business school & main campus. There are so many activities to get involved in-you won't get bored, I promise! The staff go above and beyond to meet your needs & make sure you are comfortable and happy. I couldn't recommend a better place to stay in :)
