Hello everyone !

Feel free to stay at our UWC flat in the centre of Edinburgh for a night or do around the academic year (Aug-May). We are four alumnae from different colleges and we do have a couch to crash on as well as a mattress & sleeping bag.

Feel free to contact me if you need a place to stay in Edinburgh!

I am now at uni so usually not in Newcastle during term time, but if you need to stay here let me know. Depending on my family situation we won't always be able to host you but do our best. I suppose the maximum would be about 3 people. We live in a medium-sized house in a pleasant suburb just 10 minutes from the city centre by metro or a nice 45 minute walk into town across the big park in the middle of the city.

The city itself is one probably one of the best cities in the UK for a short-break. It is relatively small but ridiculously close to the coast, the beautiful countryside of Northumbria (where you can find a large amount of Roman and medieval architecture: forts, Hadrian's wall, castles, churches etc.) The city of Newcastle itself has some lovely buildings of varying eras (as well as plenty of not-so-lovely ones...) and also is a good example of a post-industrial city, but you can still also see many areas which though completely safe to walk around have sadly been left behind by 'development', so it is a good place to get a flavour of the 'real' UK.
The people are also known for being some of the friendliest in the UK and there is also a great cultural scene. Local folk music traditions are very popular and for example you can find pubs where they play folk music most nights of the week, and the price of a pint is cheaper than in London or Edinburgh! (Though I would still recommend visiting both those places) As well this there are lots of other types of musical performances, a couple of independent cinemas, fairly good places to eat and lots and lots of nightclubs (MTV filmed the UK version of 'Jersey Shore' here, if anything you should come for the cultural spectacle...)

You can really do a lot in just a few days here as like I said the city is quite compact. As you can see I quite like the city ;) although I might not always be able to host people I will do my best to make sure you get what you want out of your trip to Newcastle. It can be a good stopping point between London (3 hours by train) and Edinburgh (1 and a half hours by train)

when i am home, for now this is june to august an december, i can host 2 people in a nice, cozy cellar bedroom, with a comfortable bed-couch and another bed, lots of books (in german) and some in english, a tv, hi fi, singstar and wii. there's also one big candle.
bathroom is shared with me and my family: we are 4 people plus one labrador called charlie. he is cute and eats ants, not humans.
it's 15 min to the city centre by bus or bike, 2 hours to vienna by train and easily accessible with all means of transportation.
and we'd love to have dinner with you! :)

I've been here since January and will only be here for another month or two.
I'm also not necessarily able to host anyone, as I'm staying with a family here. However, I would love to meet up with any UWC people passing through for internships or travel. Rwanda is a great place to visit and I would definitely recommend it!

In September I'll be moving into a flat in West-End with two fellow students from Glasgow university (one from Pearson UWC). Unfortunately we have neither a couch nor a living room but if you're desperate for a place to stay, we do have a floor ;) Sooner or later we will probably also buy something that visitors can sleep on and I have a blanket :D I could host 1 person whenever I'm in Glasgow.

Can host say 3 people but we can always squeeze in! I'm usually there well all the time but it's best if we discuss that prior to your coming over.

We have a guest room with a double bed, and can have people sleep on inflatable mattress on floor as well, probably a maximum of 5 or 6. We have 2 cats, although they are not allowed in the guest room. We are far from bus lines, so a car is a must.

I'm a student at the college!
Middlebury is a beautiful town, nested between the Green Mountains and the Adirondacks, we have a ski slope nearby, many waterholes, a lot of maple syrup, and really good people. There's no reason not to like this place.
