As hundreds of students head to the North East to begin their studies, the region's universities have pledged to keep freshers safe.
It has been two years since the tragic death of undergraduates Jeni Larmour and Nathaniel Pavlovic who died just hours after arriving in the city.
Newcastle University student Jeni, 18, from Northern Ireland, was found unresponsive at her halls at Park View Student Village, on Richardson Road, during the early hours of Saturday October 3 2020. She was sadly pronounced dead at the scene and fellow student Kavir Kalliecharan was later charged with possession of MDMA (a class A drug), possession of ketamine (a class B drug) and possession of cannabis, as part of the investigation into Jeni's death.
