Open day who's coming?

yeah right there with you as a fellow collingwood-er (i know that's not a real word...) What are we going to do?? At my interview at Oxford they said entertainment would be arranged in the evenings yet all we did was sit around while they stuck shrek on...it was the most boring 3days ever...and i got rejected. I dont hold out much hope for here! xxx

A pub crawl would be good...

Sadly as most open days seem to be starting early (and there may be 17 year olds which I'm sure would stir up all sorts of legal issues), I don't think that's going to happen.

I just hope it doesn't involve sitting in a circle playing "duck duck quack quack" or whatever it's called. Or running around the JCR playing "it".

Oh my god! Read the rest of the thread which gives details from various current Durham students about what goes on during the open days!! Come on, what do you expect 'fun and games' to be? I think everyone that has posted in here about their open days has said they went out to pubs and clubs, or stayed in college if they didn't want to do that.
And Durham open days are so much better than when you stay at Oxford or Cambridge for your interview because nobody's cramming or stressing about interviews. It's purely fun.

We have better things to do with our time than repeat ourselves for people who cannot be arsed to help themselves.

A pub crawl would be good...

eeek on a lighter note

is anyone else a fellow newbie hild beder? if so..i am actually already 18 and up for partying any one else with me on tht?

Come to Mildert and join our ultimate pub wastage-ness!

Hehe, I had to force myself to get up I was sooooooo tired on the morning of my open day.

You can see the schedules for all colleges and departments here.

How are you going to get up in the morning?

After a good night on the lash I can't stand up until about 3 o clock. Yes I know that's pathetic, but still.

OK so looking at the college open days it looks like Butler is the ONLY COLLEGE messing the whole system up and being weird.

For any other college it still goes...

You arrive on Monday, you do collegey stuff all day, you do collegey stuff in the evening, the next day (Tuesday) you go to departmental open day for 10am.

For those of you who have departmental things on the Wednesday, then you arrive on the Tuesday, do collegey stuff on Tuesday, then stay overnight for the Wednesday.
