Durham University Offer-Holders 2023

Original post by Anonymous

Brilliant idea. My daughter has an offer for PPE and going to the Offer holder day in March. So far she's interested in : Chads, Cuffs, Mary's, Hatfield, Johns. She wants catered. So we are going to be looking at what appeals when we get there.

So far I'm interested in Ustinov, Castle and Hatfield.

This seems like a really useful thread. I recently got an unconditional offer for Natural Sciences. I'm going to the Offer Holders Day at the end of March. I've applied for Hatfield, John's, Chad's, Castle and Cuth's as my top 5 choices.

Hi everyone, congratulations on your offers! I know this may sound silly, but on what basis/ criteria are you choosing your colleges?

Hi, I’m choosing mine primarily in terms of how close they are to my lectures (Elvet Riverside). Top are Cuths, Johns & Hatfield.

I see, that makes sense. Thank you!

I chose my colleges based on their size (mostly), St. Chads and St. Johns are my top 2 as I would prefer a smaller college. I also made sure I had a couple of self-catered options as well near the top, just in case. So I put John Snow and Cuth's in there too

I haven't got an e-mail for college allocation yet, does anyone know how the whole accommodation process works?

Of course, though I'm undergrad.

I think we should make groupchats to get to know people before Uni?

I love the idea of groupchats! I've just got an offer for English Literature and History and, as someone from a working-class background, I'm a little bit worried about the classist rumours I've heard about Durham and making friends. So I'd definitely feel better about knowing a few people beforehand.
