Durham Postgraduate Offer Holders 2016

Maybe 26 or 27 of September since my flight might last an entire day (the more direct the flight the more expensive it is. As soon as I have my visa I will literary run to buy my ticket. I heard you can find great offers near midnight so fingers crossed for my August bought. I'll receive my answer about my government student loan in 16 days so as soon as I get that loan (or a bank one if I get rejected) I'll start applying for my visa. I'm under a lot of stress not knowing..

Do you have everything in order? I really hope we can all meet there. Not kidding. I obviously know no one there and will be so far away from home.

Yeah.

Most students are house hunting right now so if you are British I guess you could go to Durham and in a week you might have found what you need. An Italian guy from my course got me into this facebook group. You write what you wan and other members reply with offers or just publish the houses and rooms that are available. Good luck house hunting

That's cute. One can imagine the view in the "durian estates". Guess we have lots in common! I'm also be arriving Manchester around noon on 28th and hopefully get to the campus before sunset. Really looking forward to meeting you and Azuero! It feels nice to be able to talk about our feelings and all that.
Just wanna check with you, have you get the school's accommodation contract yet？We have this little St.Cuth's group chat of Chinese pg students and most of my college mates have got the email so I'm a bit anxious. Also, I booked lots of things (pan, knives, the rice cooker we talked about ) from a girl who's currently in Durham doing my course. It's rather lovely to find a comrade and buying secondhand things are surely cheaper. Hope all is well with your exhibition！wish I could be there.

Thanks guys! Seeing the existing facebook groups I kind of feel like I'm the only Colombian and one of the few latin american people which is nice, I feel special and I'll learn a lot from different people. I've kept in touch with an Italian doing my same MA so buying his old stuff is a great idea. I don't really like the idea of living on campus. Too many people sharing your space and never living the university. I like houses better, plus college accommodation is too expensive and I rather cook at home. We'll see what happens. As soon as I get my visa I'll start house hunting. Now, in terms of cooking, don't want you to think I'm some chef; I can only cook few thing that taste really nice, it's just that a couple of years ago I was hopeless.

I'm getting some advice from a friend's cousin who lives in London in terms of what to pack, like the adequate clothes and specially shoes. I can't take 10 pairs for every occasion. It needs to be practical packing with multi-use items and space-efficient.

Hey guys ! I enjoyed reading parts of your conversation. I am an innternational student from kurdistan and will be studying masters in anthropology . Would love to make friends even before getting to Durham

Hey! I'm doing the MA in Socio-Cultural Anthropology - what are you doing? I'll also be living in Van Mildert

That is just great. I am also doing an MSc in Development and Sustainability included in Social Anthropology at Durham. I don't know yet which college I have been allocated to but it is certainly not yours. Are you from UK yourself?

Just received an offer for MA English Literary Studies I am also planning on renting privately in Newcastle as I did my BA at Northumbria and just getting the train up to Durham. No idea about college membership yet - it's a little intimidating!

Hi everyone! I'm doing an MA in English Literary Studies! Glad to see a few others here! I'm staying at Hild bede. Just wondering - has anyone got an actual official letter to say their offer is unconditional? I sent a copy of my degree certificate to prove my result which they said was fine - but no official letter? Also, did anyone get that email about joining the postgrad fbook group but it required an email address/password- anyone know where I can get these details? So excited to start!

Hi Guys,

I have go an offer to do PhD in Civil Engineering under Marie Curie Fellowship. I would be getting a allowance of 2026 pounds per month. I would be accompanied by my wife and son to Durham. As an overseas student and new to UK, I need to know whether the above pounds would be sufficient to live in Durham.

Please advice!
