A first year student from South London was described as “shocked and disappointed” after arriving in Newcastle to find that the city is much nicer than what their peers had assumed anywhere north of the Watford Gap would be. The student in question was supposedly “looking forward to moving somewhere dismal” and was upset to find that the vast majority of Newcastle is much nicer and friendlier then their local area.
The student in question was also reportedly extremely distressed by passers-by who dared to wish them a “good morning” and reportedly struck an elderly man repeatedly for asking for directions.
The student is, however, yet to visit Gateshead.
