The "Ask a Durham Student" Thread :)

Any idea when they send out English offers and when the latest I can get an offer is? Just want to know when I can stop waiting in anticipation ..

I just got allocated to Collingwood college, after making an open application, but after doing my research I would prefer a Bailey college. I would love to know what people think about Collingwood. Oh, and I'm a law applicant hopefully to start in 2018

Just wondering,Does anybody know if students in self-catering accommodation have to clear out all their possessions as the end of each term? I was told it is college dependant but I can't imagine people having to lug kitchen equipment home etc.

I've researched into the physics course and looked into all the modules and entry requirements etc, but cant seem to find any information on whether you get an interview as part of the application process when applying for physics at Durham (3 year course), an answer to this would be much appreciated.

They do not interview as standard, but they may do if your situation is a bit out of the ordinary (unusual qualifications etc). Assuming you're applying at the normal time with A levels, you won't be interviewed

Just read your previous post about choosing a college! I'm at Durham now and in my 3rd year. I would say that the hill colleges are more the 'party' colleges. I'm in Cuth's and wouldn't say that we're a party college at all, or perhaps that was just my experience! John's is small but has a nice atmosphere as it's on the Bailey. Good luck!

Hi, sorry about how late this is, but I got into Cuth's and have a few questions. Would you know if people on the Bailey have to pack up every term? Also do they take into account your subjects when you're applying to Brooks House/the Bailey? (neglecting order of preference on form). Thank you!

Is it normal to have to wait this long for Maths? People in my school have got offers already for the same subject and our A-level predictions are the same..! I just want to know

yeah that's not the case at all. Butler student

jonnnyyyyyyyyyyy hahahaha

Ok, the number of new threads in this sub-forum has increased dramatically of late and a lot of these could have been avoided with a little research (i.e use of the "search" function). That's not to say that the issues raised in each thread aren't important, but it's just not feasible for new threads to be started everytime somebody has a question.

Having discussed this with the moderators, the new plan is for this here thread, the "Ask a Current Student" thread to be created and stickied in the Durham sub-forum. If you have a question which you feel can be answered quickly and succinctly with just a couple of posts and you can't find the answer you are looking for using the "search" function, simply post your question in here, and with any luck a current Durham student will happily oblige and try to answer.

Also, here's a link to Becca's hugely useful and informative Durham FAQ Thread: http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=130882

I hope this helps unclog the Durham sub-forum and look forward to seeing the thread in use .
