What is the most diverse college?

I'm a Pakistani and want to apply to Durham university, and am looking for a diverse college with many nationalities. The last thing I want is loads of racism.

I'm looking for catered accommodation, and am looking to do a science degree. I want some fairly nice rooms.

Thanks,

I know this is super old, but I was wondering if could tell about your experience at Durham as a POC?

Can i just say that it is highly offensive to state that colleges who are not diverse in ethnicity are going to be racist. People didn't choose to be white, neither did they chose all the other college mates to be white. Don't make them feel bad about it. You could maybe not be racist yourself and just mingle whoever is there regardless of ethnicity?

“Outsourced”
This is the phrase that’s repeatedly used to describe those students who can’t afford a catered place at “The Bailey”.
If you grew up in 1980s Britain and think times have move on then you’ll be unpleasantly surprised to find that biting lip service is paid to those other than middle / upper class at Durham University. We visited here on an open day for prospective students 2024. All I can say is visit this University, if you don’t see it then it’s for you.

I’m not sure who you’ve been talking to, but I’m a current Durham student on the hill (who picked a hill college because I wanted the location not because I ever felt like I couldn’t be in a Bailey college) and I’ve never heard this phrase or whole idea before. To me as a student, the Bailey and the hill are simply two locations in Durham, perhaps with colleges on the Bailey that are more traditional (and a couple with a reputation of being quite posh but that does not stop a mix of students being there) and the hill colleges a bit more modern. The idea of people not being able to afford the Bailey is also kind of nonsense, as the prices across Durham colleges are standardised, and only vary by type of room/catering, not where the college is. There are many catered hill colleges too. I’m aware that Durham does have issues, but the specific ones you mentioned here are not something I’ve ever been aware of as a student. I am not saying you are wrong in your opinion of Durham here, as clearly you’ve had a negative experience, but it’s something that I’ve never come to experience myself in Durham (for context I would class myself as middle class but did go to a state school in the midlands). Personally, this is something that I feel you should complain about to the university, it upsets me that this is a representation of a university I love being a part of.
