Durham is a very beautiful city and its castle and church are amazing. The school's new business school facilities are very good, comfortable and modern. The school library has a good learning atmosphere. In addition, the school provides a lot of study and internship opportunities, which is really great for international students. I wish Durham University remain in the top 100 in the world!Keep on working hard!

Q
Which university is good to study logistics and supply chain management?

Q
I'm an international student interested in studying PPE in the UK. Durham has been on my list for a while but I've read/heard some concerning things about the administration, diversity, and privilege of the school. Is that problematic reputation earned? Will I only be around white British elites?

Hello I'm an international student and would start at Queens Campus for the International Foundation Year. I am nervous that it is 45 mins away from the main, any other American students or anyone from another country able to tell me how this has worked out? Do you feel isolated? Has it been easy to make new friends? Looking at comp sci degree.

The facility is good but can be isolating for international students because there’s a distinct separation between home students and international students. The colleges do matter, it can determine your social life, so choose wisely. I would recommend finding your crowd and a comfortable spot between your social and academic life.

A good university - I am glad I chose here! The campus is good - just the building I study in is vastly out of date and now cramped before lectures. The SU is also good, just out of date. Not really had much experience with the careers' service, that's why i'm rating it like this

They do offer a great deal of support for those struggling mentally. People are understanding and helpful. I have nothing to say about support, but if you can’t afford the societies there won’t be much help there. Everything you need to pay for. Laundry (which gets more expensive every year), gym, book clubs, formals, your food for the formals the drinks. And it’s not that great either at least in my opinion, good if you want to build connections, but not diverse enough or interesting enough.

I have not looked deeply in the career aspect yet, so I am not sure what i could say about it.

I am very glad I chose DC at Durham. I have studied in the UK for two years and stayed at more than three different student apartments (both in London and Durham), and I have to say DC is the BEST! Large house, new equipment, quick service (Steve can do everything !!!), and very very very kind reception! I have to move to Newcastle next year due to academic reason, and I will miss days at DC so much…

The experience of living here is amazing overall. Ernest Place is very close to a big Tesco and other shops around. All the staffs are very friendly and helpful and solve problems promptly, making me feel like home. Also, the public areas are always clean.

I am now a third-year student and I am very satisfied with the learning and infrastructure at Durham University. In particular, the library and the study area on the third floor of TLC meet the needs of students

Durham is a brilliant institution. As a physics student I enjoy fantastic facilities within the physics department and across the entire campus. I Particularly love the collegiate aspect of the university; it’s one of the main reason I chose to come here. Each college is unique in its own way and each offer many sports and societies to get involved with. I have really enjoyed my time here at Durham so far.

Some aspects are good, like student societies and flexible part time job opportunities with the university. However, the university itself struggles to maintain a good student experience due to the housing crisis, cost of living crisis, separation and elitism both in departments and in the University as a whole, and overall inability of the university in mitigating and improving these issues. From a student perspective, the university as an institution doesn't care about the livelihoods and welfare of students, and rather the revenue and leaderboard scores generated from them. Colleges and most (but not all) societies are very welcoming and are great for welfare, inclusion and community but are let down by the institution.

Durham university's buildings are in good condition, if sometimes hard to navigate. The Bill Bryson Library is an excellent tool for any student. There is an excellent selection of clubs and societies for any interest a student may have.
