Hi there, my name is Will and I am the publicity officer for Hild Bede. First of all, congrats on getting into Durham! I have loved my time at Durham and Hild Bede over the past 3 years and I'm happy to let you know what it's like and answer any questions.
Hild Bede is a catered college located on the river and is one of the biggest colleges in Durham. There are multiple accommodation blocks across the site, with sizes ranging from between 12 and 100 people. It is approx. 10 min walk from Elvet Riverside (humanities, languages) and 15 min walk from the science site.
Hild Bede has over 30 clubs and societies, ranging from a football club with 8 teams to a cinema that puts on new films every week, so there is plenty for everyone to get involved with.
I'm happy to answer any more questions you may have!
