Soooo much walking, Hild Bede

walking is good for one's health.

Oh ffs, it's not 2 hours at once, and you don't have to come back for meals if you're really that lazy. It's only about 20 minutes to the science site anyway. Hild Bede rocks and no one I know gives a damn about the extra 5-10 minutes scientists have to walk each way.

At least at the end of it, you are walking back down the hill as opposed to up it :biggrin:

Hild bede to science site is 20 mins max. I have done that for nearly two years, it really isn't that bad.

Someone was exaggerating...

People only say Hild Bede is miles away because it's 'on the other side of Durham' to the other colleges...but Durham is so small that it barely matters.

Exactly, its about 5 minutes further than any bailey college from the science site and it is much closer to town than all the hill colleges.

The Science site is all about Mary's. Or Grey...

They're not :confused:

they have some of the nicest grounds in the whole of Durham. If anything, the bailey colleges are all stoney and cobbley with no grass or trees...ergh...though Hatfield is probably the prettiest out of them.

Hild Bede has a mixture of grass, trees (and a pond), historic nice buildings, an art deco chapel and some nice 1960s architecture as well to round it off! Something for everyone. :biggrin:

Mary's Ferguson building is pretty good looking. Though Williamson isn't. It is probably the nicest college on the hill to look at.

Who exactly is the 1960s architecture for?
