    I hold an offer for politics at Durham but I'm not too sure if I want to go there, as I;ve never visited durham before. What are the strong points/ positives about durham? (apart from it obviously being an academically high up uni!)

    A 44...776 at HL.

    I think the unconditional came because I have done some stuff in international and national politics that only 50-60 people worldwide have done...but I am still shocked!
