Night Life

Is it true that durham's night life is terrible?? If i enjoy partying and going out (as well as working hard obviously) is durham the wrong place for me?
As much as all those things are important - you shouldn't be basing your Uni decision off of that (in my opinion). I think it sets off the wrong attitude from the get go, and you more or less get one shot at Uni.

I have no idea but have heard similar things about Durham's nightlife, and whilst I love going out, etc. You can make anywhere a good time, surely it's about you and who you're with in the end in order to have a good time?

Durham apparently sucks, but Newcastle is more then easy to get to.

Jack is right. You go to University for a degree, not a social life. No one realises that anymorw and go to university purely because they think it'll be a great laugh

Thank you! I have chosen durham specifically after visiting the open day and looking at the course I want to study, I haven't been looking at uni's with night life in mind I was just slightly curious after hearing so many negative things..
Night life is definitely going to be something you'll always consider, but don't let it sway your decision :smile: if you're in need of a night out, Newcastle is easily reachable. If you're in need of a few drinks then the college bars seem to be more than good enough :smile:
Nightlife is absolutely DIRE in durham. My sister goes to the university and ive been out there a few times. It's home to the worst nightclub in EURORE (go klute).

The nightlife that you'll see on freshers week will get tired pretty quickly. I've been going out in D Ram for a good two years and I'm still discovering some hidden gems however, for when you get bored of the club scene. I personally think it's a fantastic night, if I was into the whole clubbing thing still then Newcastle is only 20 mins away on the train however

I personally go out all the time here and think the nightlife is pretty good.
