Durham college allocation 2016

I received an offer for English Lit last week and have been allocated to Grey College - email came through today. I originally applied to St Marys as it was an older building and I had my heart set on an older university but it does still have the gowned formals and smaller number of shared rooms and supposedly the 'best bar' of the colleges, which is always a plus!!
I haven't visited Grey, hopefully will be attending applicant days in March, so I'd appreciate any thoughts on the college? It seems relaxed and friendly while still maintaining tradition which is perfect for me, I just wish it wasn't so modern!!!

Geology! Did you get into St. Marys? What course?

There will be offer days in March, all colleges will do so and you'll be invited once you find out which college you'll be at, and you'll stay a night there. There should be a page on the website on this.

I applied to St Mary's, also natural sciences! Visited it on the open day and it was nice and old but not tiny and round the corner from the library/ science buildings!

Trevelyan Natural Sciences, really excited now. I originally applied to Josephine Butler, however, now am worried about how much the catering costs at Trevelyan anyone else find it frustrating how most colleges are catered?

Nice!! I got a place at Mary's for Education Studies with English Lit. Very happy

Me I really wanted Butler, I can't even find prices for Van Mildert accommodation so I'm really unsure about what to do atm

I got my first choice college (grey) but I honestly have no idea why I picked it. I think I just looked on the pros and cons page from TSR :P.

Anyone else got into grey?

Do you have a link to that pros and cons page?

Applied to Castle and was allocated there! So excited! Will be studying law

Got reallocated to Cuths... good college?

I have 2 durham offers (one for BA geog and one for BSc geog), applied before oxbridge deadline and got BSc around november and BA in january

applied butler for both and have been reallocated grey for BA and think i have mamaged to get butler for BSc (checked on the website thing)

however i was wanting to firm the BA and insurance the BSc, (BA is A*AA and BSc is AAA) and also really really want to go to butler

does anyone know what the chances will be of them swapping the colleges round on my two courses, surely this shouldnt be a problem as im a geography student either way so quotas wont be affected? and if so, whether to contact the colleges, uni or some kind of admission secretary?
