Advantages: Good squad, great stadium, dedicated players and fans Disadvantages: Lacking financial clout
...Sunderland have returned to the top division recently with an eye for success - they have an illustrious record which includes 2 FA cup wins, in 1937 and 1973, and an impressive 6 top flight titles, which includes a dominant period between 1892 and 1902 when they won the top division 4 times, and also a win in 1913 and one in 1936. They won the first division in 1999 to catapult them back into the Premiership and are busy re-establishing themselves as a force to be reckoned with within the premiership.
They are aided in this difficult task by their more-than-capable star striker, Kevin Philiips, who many have called for to be in the England squad regularly, as he proved himself at the top level by becoming the Premiership's top scorer last year in their first season back at the top.

Advantages: Loads of interesting local history, Free to visit, fab restaurant Disadvantages: Some things were not working or were broke, looked run down in areas.

The University of Sunderland has changed over the years from being a student and now to an employee. Although previous reviewers have stated their bad times I am going to tell you about the good things on offer. The University has a wide range of course with some excellent accolades.
Pharmacy for one is one of the best in the country, we also now have according to the Guardian the best new Law course and Department in the coutnry. The reason you ask? Sunderland has two main campuses and the old 60's campus has been redesigned and now has a new sports and social building. The law course is based at our riverside campus which was voted by the Government as one of the top 5 campus's in the UK to study at. The law course also is the only course in the country that offers you the chance to complete a Paralegal qualification...
