I really have enjoyed my time so far at Stephenson College. The accommodation is spacious and practical, with plenty of storage space in bedrooms. The kitchen is large enough for all 7 of us to enjoy it at the same time, and is cleaned every 2 weeks. We have lovely social and study places around the college, which I use most days.

All the Answers You Need About Student Accommodation
What tenancy length do I need?
Some students choose to stay during the academic year, whilst others – particularly international students – require a tenancy that covers the entire year. You can also find student accommodation that is available for one or two terms, classified as a “short stay” on our search filters.
Should I stay in catered student accommodation?
This is totally up to you! Catered accommodation means you will be served meals at set times in a dining hall, and you’ll likely have access to fewer kitchen facilities than if you were to stay in self-catered accommodation.
What is a guarantor and do I need one?
A guarantor is a person who signs a contract to agree to pay your rent if you are unable to. Most university accommodation requires a guarantor, and this applies to both domestic and international students.
Will I need to pay a deposit on student accommodation?
Most likely, yes, you’ll need to pay a deposit. This will be refunded at the end of your stay as long as there is no damage to the room or property.
What bills will my rent include?
If you are staying in university-run accommodation or private halls, your rent should include any utilities such as electricity, gas, water, and internet. Students are not required to pay council tax, however you may need to fill in an exemption form so make sure you check with your local council.
What is purpose-built student accommodation?
Purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) are residential buildings designed for students. They are often located close to campus, boast modern facilities, include all bills, and often have staff on site to assist residents.
Will my student accommodation be furnished?
Student accommodation is typically fully furnished. Your room should include at least a bed, clothes storage, desk and chair. You’ll likely need to bring things such as bedding and kitchen utensils, but we have a full list here of everything you’ll need.

I enjoyed living in college so much that I chose to live here again in second year. Although it is far away from most shops, that really isn't that much of an issue for me
Not much to do. They have a grow society a book club and they do work towards inclusivity which are good but usually these societies target undergrads. Postgrads are not that many and there isn’t much for them to do there apart from drinking which again I don’t know whats the point of a bar in a college. It should be more about flourishing academically rather than introducing yourself to the drinking culture of England this is for all colleges not just mine. I would prefer piano lessons language courses, outdoor activities with people within the college and more sports. Mind you none of these are free or covered by anyone, so the whole inclusivity thing doesn’t apply to you if you can’t afford it. Location is good, but the rooms are tiny, although someone does come to clean your room every week which is nice given that accommodation is nearly 8k per academic year. However kitchen appliances and cupboards need a refresh. Seating area is not that clean either.
I’m in the cheapest accommodation possible at Durham and it is lovely, it has lovely people. We’ve had some issues accommodation wise but they’ve been solved very quickly by maintenance. It is quite far from the university and city centre compared to other accommodations, but it is by all means acceptable. It would be nicer if we had more chairs around our table as we have 4 in our kitchen for a flat of 8. The rooms are very spacious and the location is very lovely.
The rooms themselves are great and there are excellent maintenance staff on campus, however there aren't any grocery shops nearby

Colleges are extortionate- there is no doubt about it.
I based this on what I've heard as the college moved campus. The amount you pay though is a rip off so make sure you budget well if you're from a low income family or request to live out and travel to meet people in freshers week. There's a £1 bus for all students around Durham for the whole day so wouldn't be hard and you might save a lot of money.
Rooms are lovely with ensuite and the kitchen is very spacious. Stephenson central has great facilities like pool, table tennis and darts
Stevo is an amzing place to live, its so close to lectures you can wake up at ten to nine and still be on time to a nine o'clock lecture!
Brand new, everything you need in once place and right next to the library/lectures
Best halls, great bar, social area is great! So many people can chill watch tf on a huge protector. Play video games, work room, changing room it's bomb
Sometimes I feel it's a bit of madting tbh.
The price for accomodation is expensive but grants are big. Also, the queen campus is far from main university
Close to lecture hall, however college bar is very basic and lack facilities when compared to other colleges. The floor of kitchens is never kept it good nip.
Each room already comes with a wardrobe, desk, chair, mattress and also a bathroom. I found that very convenient as I like to have my own things and not share personal areas with others. The kitchens are good as well, with two stoves, toaster, microwave, ample amount of cupboard space and much more, I would say that the kitchen is one of my favourite places. But the best area of all is "Stevo Central" cause that's where you get to meet people and they have enough infrastructure to facilitate that such as a study room with computers, the bar, a pool table, a gaming section. And a form of lounge where we get to watch TV or movies. The college also plans out numerous events throughout the year that are intriguing to both the extroverts and introverts of the college as well as international and home students.
