also, the kids are dangerous. lived in west philly for 3 years and never ran into quite so many bold, feral, truant kids as i did in the byker metro station.
Byker Metro is a bit - well feral is a good word for it.
I teach at Northumbria as well - we have a decent set up for cycling staff here, with storage, changing facilities and a cycle to work scheme. Which school are you based in?
There is a staff freeads thing on our intranet where people advertise acomodation to other staff - will keep an eye out on it for anything and pass on details etc.
Heaton, Jesmond & Gosforth are very big student areas, with Fenham a rougher, cheaper option. Theres always plenty of accomodation in Newcastle - as well as decent boozers etc. Heaton is probably your best bet though.
