I am definitely firming it as Durham has one of the strongest law schools in the country!

I've been allocated to Van Mildert :smile:

studying law. I haven't visited VM (actually applied to Josephine Butler), can anyone tell me what its like? Had a look on the website but it didn't have many pictures of the inside, kind of wanted to know what the bathroom facilities are like seeing as its highly unlikely i'll get ensuite.

Do you actually know if the law faculty is close to VM college? On google maps it says 11 mins on foot but I am not quite sure about that.

So envious there are so many of you on here heading to Van Mildert. Last year there was hardly anybody on TSR that had a place there! Anyway, I'm currently a fresher at VM and if you guys have any questions about the best college in Durham feel free to ask them. Sorry about no photos on the website, it's had a brand new sparkling revamp and they're still sorting out all the kinks.

The whole science site is at the most 10 minutes from Van Mildert (I've made it in 7 minutes uphill in the evenings when the road is deserted). The only factor that will influence your time getting there is the PEOPLE. Oh my god, the people. South Road (the hill leading from hill colleges down to Science site) gets absolutely clogged in the 10-15 minutes before a lecture and the pavement on both sides is really narrow so if you're leaving it late to get there be prepared to push past people. Having said that, your lectures might not all be at the Law faculty as everyone gets spread out, you might even have some at Elvet. I don't think anyone (except maybe Chemistry) have all the lectures in their own department.
