PSi, my college is in South Shields. Will you be studying at South Tyneside college, as that's where I am now, but I leave this Summer.
6 years ago I was 11, so I can't tell you much about the area changing. Seems the same old North East.

Job situation?
There are no jobs here. We have the highest unemployment in Britain. In the height of the unemployment in the 1980s the London football supporters used to throw coins at the Newcastle away fans. Bastards. In a famous march in 1936 the people of my home town, Jarrow, walked 300 miles to London, to request government help in the North East. They were given a suit and a train ticket home - effectively told to fuck off after walking 300 miles. To this day the situation has not changed, and the shipbuilding industry we once had is effectively dead. Londoners come to SOuth Shields to one of the best marine colleges in the world, and take their naval skills to other cities to look for work. The North East got royally shafted. Any wonder geordies don't tend to like Southerners?
