The Durham College Allocation Thread (for 2015 entry)

I havent heard anything either! :/ when did you get your offer?

about two weeks ago! You? I applied to Castle but its so oversubscribed, what about you?

I got my offer in November so Im kinda surprised/worried that I havent got my college allocation yet! Ahh well, hopefully we'll hear back soon ooh castle is gorgeous! I applied to Hatfield but I think thats pretty oversubscribed as well haha

Well good luck! I hope you get in!

Should I be worried that everyone seems to have been allocated to a college and I haven't heard anything since I got my offer?

Was ur offer before or after the 1st feb? If it was after you might have to waiT a little while longer

Well done!! What course to study?

Does Grey college have good sport facilities? I am interested in volleyball and rowing... Can you play sports at university level and not collegiate level?

Woop woop physics at St. Johns!

Yeah this is my issue as well, I just wanna play sport but I feel like if my college doesn't do it will be difficult to play. I know they play a lot on university level because Durham are 2nd in the BUCS league

The problem is that I don't think I can play at national level, especially for rowing which I haven't practiced before, so from what I have understood, I am limited to College sports. However, from the videos and photos I've seen online, Grey pretty much has one basketball court which is weird because it has a lot of outdoor space there. Does Grey have an amateur rowing team? An amateur athletics team maybe? I mean, it has 900 students, it must have something!
Did you get into Grey as well?
This is so frustrating.

Nope I got into Van Mildert (hadn't really heard of it before I got allocated). I totally agree, I like a lot of sports but I don't play any of them enough to play for University. I just want to be able to play something like badminton with whoever and from whatever college. Hopefully we're not too restricted by our colleges...what subject are you going to study?

Have a look around on this page to get some idea of the amount of College sport played in Durham - it's enormous.

Grey seem to be near the top of most points tables.

I have an offer for law. What about you? I have a friend at Van Mildert and he's having the time of his life there, he is very much a partying guy, and I think he is also in the rowing team.
