Durham Business School

Hey guys! I'm looking for some information on Durham university college membership for postgraduate students. There's so much information out there and it is a little confusing. Also, I'm looking into their colleges and I've shortlisted a few- south college, Josephine Butler, and Hatfield, to name a few and I would appreciate it if anyone has anything to say about these colleges! maybe yours or your friend's experience. I'm open to college recommendations! I'm looking for something with activities and good facilities because I intend to participate and be active. Any input is highly appreciated! Thank you

Hiya

What specific information are you looking for? I can assist you with finding it if you can let me know some more details as to what information you're on the lookout for and for which colleges. As for college recommendations, I would suggest narrowing down your choices based on these considerations:
1. catered or self-catered
2. distance from the department (although this may not be very relevant if you don't have many classes)
3. type of room- ensuite or single with shared bathroom
4. gowned or non-gowned formals
5. size of the college- bailey ones tend to be smaller than the hill ones, and a smaller size means smaller facilities (gym, bar, library) as well

I've linked some blogs here that you may find helpful: Life in the MCR at Josephine Butler ; The living in college experience ; What's it like being President of Hatfield MCR? ; Life at Butler ; Life at South ; Help! How do I pick a college?

Hi! Thanks for your revert. I submitted an application with 3 preferences- Ustinov, John Snow and Josephine Butler. I just wanted to know about the life there and if possible some more images/videos of the same. Thanks!

Hi!! Thank you so much for your revert. I've changed my preferences a little bit- Josephine butler and Ustinov are still on the list, only south college is swapped with john snow.

Hey so sorry to hear that! How long was it if you don't mind sharing?
