I went to Northumbria Uni (well, it was Newcastle Poly at the time).

 

My best mate up there was a mackem, from Cleadon. We went over to his parents house a few times. Now, that's a particularly posh area, so I assumed most of Sunderland was relatively pleasant (like Newcastle). Then we went into the centre, and I rapidly re-evaluated.

 

This was 1989, though, I would imagine it has improved a lot since then.

 

Cleadon only has a Sunderland postcode. It isn't in Sunderland it is part of South Tyneside. So you really didn't encounter a nice part of Sunderland.

Dismissed it in an earlier post, but tbh i haven't been, nor had the inclination to go to Sunderland city centre for years. Unless an NUFC side are playing there, i don't set foot in the city as a rule. The only exception is rarely visiting my wifes' relations in Washington.
