Well firstly who picks a uni solely because it looks like another uni, there's so many factors that should play into deciding which uni you wanna go to eg course structures.
Also remember that these are provisional allocations, they can change after results day.
Trevs is also near a few other colleges so its technically not in the middle of nowhere- at least not at a location like Ustinov, that's where you would say a college is in the middle of nowhere.
And yes, its not castle or hatfield otherwise it would be called castle, or hatfield..
All colleges have traditions behind them, and you never know what kind of people you'll meet- most of them will be as fresh as you to the uni if you were to go
Noones forcing you to go to Durham after all, considering you seem quite opinionated, I'm assuming you have other unis to consider

Manchester or warwick
durham (foolishly) was my first choice: and they gave me the fugly college.
So Manchester is looking ever-more appealing despite me really liking Durham

Well if you've already decided you dont want to go to Durham and you've already firmed them, you can still call up UCAS to get it changed. There's always a solution to a problem like this

Right.
It’s a Soviet block dump of bricks in a field.
I picked this uni because it *looks* like Oxford
And they gave me my actual bottom choice.
FFS

It’s in the middle of nowhere
It’s ugly as ****
It’s not castle, or hatfield

I’m actually reconsidering taking a gap year: this place is a shithole

Is there any ANY redeeming qualities?

A gap year won’t help. They will hold you to your original allocation.
