What's Durham Uni like?

Wouldn't it annoy them a bit if you changed colleges? but yeah...st chad wud be v. v. cool if it wasnt so religious

As long as I get into another one I wouldnt give a sh*t... ;-)

hehe thats true. what college are you going to apply to? *hint* VAN MILDERT!!! there are ducks

Oh these world famous ducks... no I would apply to cuthberts, collingwood is very overrun, I doubt I would have chances...

This is turned into a conversation since we are all online right now but anyway, is Cuthberts one of the colleges in town? Or is it one of the hill colleges?

heres some quotes from really really old posts:

"...Chads: also very religious but it is so small and apparently has one of the best communities in the Uni as everybody knows everybody. accomodation is alright but nothing special apparently. again bar is stupidly small and dark."

and

"...It shouldn't really be a problem if you're not religious, although John's is the most religious college in Durham really, even more so than Chads, and quite evangelical."

and

"...Chad's and John's were set up as religious institutions shortly afterwards."


But it might not actually be that religious. and its probably a realy nice college too

You know I dont mind so much, I jsut cant help trying to do everything perfect... guess everybody has that at some time!
I actually worry more about the people applying there, but that is probably a total prejudice too and they are cool like everywhere! ;-)

Solution to how to change colleges on the other post! lol

Solution ?!? ;-)

Err.....................a solution to your problem of not liking a religious college

True! ;-) I know I sound a bit ridiculous...

Has anyone been there or know anyone who has? I heard Collingwood is a great college to live in. Which others are good? Is Durham a nice place? I want to study BA Geography there btw

Just wondering which College does the International Students enrol in? Is there a specific college they must enrol in? or do they mix in with the crowd?
