It is awesome! Collegiate system allows you to meet people outside your course! Billy Bry library is the best!
Main campus is wonderful whilst Queens campus lacks a collegiate vibe due to the lack of colleges (only 2) surrounding the area, also the location of the campus is in a roughy area of the country making it unwise to travel alone at night time
Absolutely love it there... Always something to do... Lovely people
Amazing, friends for life and great support academically and emotionally
Truly the most amazing place in the world, where I will be unbelievably sad to leave. A myriad of fantastic opportunities to develop as an academic and an individual. The only thing letting Durham down is the slightly ugly Student Union building!
Durham is honestly a really special place - it has definitely obtained the healthy balance between academic work and stimulation, and an amazing variety of clubs and societies to join. Our students' union does not play as prominent a part in Durham partly because of the collegiate system, so that we socialise in our colleges. I really can't imagine my university experience being any better than this.
You will love it there, it's social, fun, familial, incredibly beautiful, great academically. Don't know a single person who hasn't loved their time here!
Durham University offers a truly dynamic, challenging and rewarding uni experience.
You have Oxbridge but I honestly would say Durham is a better uni. The beauty is that yes you need to have some intellectual ability however they look at all of your qualities not just the academic ones. You become an all round talented person, which I think is what is lacking from Oxbridge!
Great atmosphere and very friendly
Couldn't imagine anywhere better to study!
Like Oxbridge but more fun. Don't have to worry about 10 deadlines a week, but the uni still has great recognition.
A truly amazing place to be. Fantastic atmosphere, great people and a wonderful collegiate system which makes you feel a part of something very special.
Best university in the country due to the collegiate system
the environment is very calm and friendly and I found it easy to settle in due to the process by which they allow students to mingle with one another. I love the fact that in every college they make a conscious effort to integrate every kind of activity that pertains to the different tastes of the vast diverse of students.
The uni spends money on weird things (e.g. £2m of artwork unseen by most students) that makes it feel as though the students are not always the priority. Science facilities (with the new science site) far superior to those of Arts & Humanities subjects, drawing questions over value for money of humanities courses. Sports faciliies and range of societies is great, collegiate system allows everyone to get involved.
Historical campus, really good transport links, but could improve SU.
The collegiate dimension to the university is unparalleled with anywhere else. An incredible experience with huge opportunity.
A wonderful place full of opportunity and the chance to succeed; a huge range of support, academic brilliance and the best time of your life
