St. Cuthbert's Society

I'm an international student so I have never been in Durham. Do people at Parson's field who opted for part-catered have to go to Bailey for the meal?

Yes- there is no canteen at Parson's field so you would have to go to the Bailey

Is it hard to get a single room at Bailey?
My last question, How common do you see people at Parson's field opting for part-catered?

Recently got the accommodation form in the post;

Regarding the 'relevant information' section, should you put smoker/non-smoker in there?

As other's have said this thread is a Godsend.

I'm pretty sure I'm at Cuth's, they e-mailed me saying I was and about the open day though i ended up not going in the end. I only have a couple of questions...

First is about preferences, earlier in the thread I think you said they're after results, but on the website FAQ and the poster a couple posts above, it mentions that you're supposed to receive a pack to list your preferences and reply to them...I have never received anything of the like? Can you clarify what the process is, or at least yours was for listing preferences? Cheers.

About nightlife, it seems like there's a good vibe in Cuth's anyway which I'm really liking the sound of, but are there any actual night clubs in Durham? They don't have to be massive ones but basically just pubs with maybe a club floor upstairs or the like if you know what I'm talking about?

Also, are there many (if any) students from Ireland/Northern Ireland there?

Hi there!

1) Cuth's only offers the chance to purchase a bedding pack if you are an international student. It includes a duvet, duvet cover, pillows, pillowcases and linen. For international students only...not sure on the price however.

2) It's a standard single bed. I'm 6'2" and my legs did not stick out the end.

3) Yes, absolutely! Cuth's (and university in general) is not a 24/7 party so you will be able to study in peace. If people do end up being too noisy at unreasonable hours, the porters are on hand to usher the revellers away!

If you have facebook, we have a group for incoming Cuth's students: https://www.facebook.com/groups/cuthsfreshers2014/

Scottish applicant for 2015 entry. I was just wondering, my Standard Grade results were mediocre but my Highers were AAAAB. Would my Standard Grades jeopardise my chances of getting an offer? I want to study Law at Durham and love the look of St Cuthbert's. My primary school was named after St. Cuthbert and our local church is St Cuthbert's thus influencing my attraction to this college. Not only that, it's a very, very beautiful college and I hope I have the opportunity to hold a place there next year.

My school is considered deprived.

I'm sitting 2 advanced highers in English and History and 1 higher in Modern Studies.

Thank you for all the help on this thread! I have a few questions:

1) HONESTLY, how long is the walk from Parsons to the History department?
2) Does the fact that there is no shop on site inconvenience you in any way?
3) Are there formal dinners with fancy cloaks?

Hi- just a quick question;

What's the possibility of me being allocated a standard self catered room in Parsons Field? I won't be able to afford an ensuite or catered- only a standard in Parsons Field- and I noted that the website said that there were a small number of standard self catered rooms- is there a big possibility that I won't get one?

Thanks in advance!
