the best thread i have found is the durham applicants 07 thread.

is there not a thread solely dedicated to the stockton campus?

Make one!

Try Queens campus

OP

nope. brings up basically the same threads.

so, from now, could this thread be dedicated to info about the Stockton/Queens campus?

what is the accomodation here like? what are the sizes of the rooms?

Rooms are quite modern built after 2001 with a sterling view of the River Tees. Many parking spaces and some lawn.

Just a few links for you.
Seriously, there are loads of threads on this topic, you just have to look a bit harder. It takes 2 minutes.

i am applying for business, and i believe the business departments are at Stockton, so does that mean i have to be at stockton campus? or could i go to one of the 'better' Durham accomodation?

no you have to be in a stockton college (Stephenson or Snow)

though some (and i mean very few) choose to live in durham after the first year, but it really isn't practical..as its 30mins in the car, and 40mins by bus...not really convenient for getting to lectures.

without wanting to push the uni im at...id choose wisely. If you can get into do Business at Durham, its a lot higher respected than Marketing Management and Huddersfield are. So would give you better job prospects in the future.

also the course has management and marketing modules, so you'd cover a lot of the same material anyway.

You can use parking spaces.

The Queen's Campus accommodation is newer and larger and I know no one who has to share a room unlike in the city of Durham

Durham was voted 18th best Business School in Europe by FT in 2006 and 3rd out of all the UK business schools that have an undergraduate department. Huddersfield is not really a good university; in fact most people haven't heard of it unless they're from the area.

Stockton is meant to be very cheap as well! This is why I am very happy to get an offer as I'm not really on spending too much money whilst at Uni. Accomodation is dirt cheap also!

it is, you can get houses for £35 a week (3 bed terrace houses, only water bills included) or 4 beds with bills included for just under £50. That is a lot cheaper than other unis and Durham itself.

Seriously? I hope the economy in Stockton is still **** when I go there so I can get cheap accomodation. In regards to nightlife, Newcastle isn't far away... Yes!
