Van Mildert College Thread 2016

Here are some other pics (part 2)

Do any of you play an instrument or sing? I'm really keen on starting a band.

If you Google it there are pictures, if that fails if you go on YouTube there are some open day videos and ignoring how cheesy they are they show you all the facilities

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.

Allocated to Van Mildert for law.

Anyone here going to the open day(s) in a few weeks?

Hi, I have some put some pictures of a standard room on the facebook group:

Thank you! They're really helpful, the rooms look a lot nicer than I was expecting

I'm coming to Durham to do my PhD and considering to pick Mildert as my college. I wonder if anyone knows how the PG community is like in Mildert ?

Here are some pics I took last year at the open day (part 1)

Hi, I was just wondering if its easy to get around town with a bike, and from van mildert into town? are there direct bike paths? and are there lots of hills or anything? Thanks in advance!

It's very simple! There is a road called South Road that you can access by coming out of Mildert, and that leads directly onto a road called Church street which will take you into town . There are bike stations(?) (dunno what they're called) at mildert. It's bike friendly!

Hi everyone. I've been assigned to Van Mildert College and I'm really excited to get to know the people I could potentially be living with.

My question for people who already live there is how good is the college bar? (I know, I'm asking all the important questions hahaa)

How fast is the WiFi?

Hi, you can find some useful information about the MCR here: https://community.dur.ac.uk/vm.mcr/

I'm only a first year UG so I don't know that much about the MCR, but I've played table tennis with a few postgraduates and they seem to enjoy college!

Anyone else got any questions ?
