The "Ask a Durham Student" Thread :)

Which colleges offer self-catered accomodation? Personally, I really don't like the idea of catered accommodation but still want to apply to Durham, however I am aware that a lot of it tends to be catered.

(Sorry for being a total noob btw)

Tell me, how do traffic light parties work?

hello

The health stuff gets sent in the envelope you got with the health stuff (it should already be addressed to the correct place).

So do I mail it to that address or do I hand it over to the University Medical Officer personally? The welcome letter wasn't too clear on that. And another question. Can I take my time (within reason) in mailing it as I still have to get my shots done and can't fill that portion yet?

Hi love!!!!

Butler is fully Self-Catered, Cuths has the option to be Self Catered.

OK, cheers, and I gather the rest of them are just catered??

Matriculation any kind of suit should be fine

Careful though, Castle might have some old rule that goes along with it.

yes most likely. bring your passport too just in case. though in durham they tend not to id during term time - i've only ever been id'd twice in my time, both at places students don't usually go. for your normal klute/studio/loveshack night you probably won't need id.

Ah, bless. The reason I was asking is because I don't want to carry my passport around. Thanks.

I would advise taking it with you tbh. They dont accept Campus Cards...

So everyone just carry their passports around? That strikes me as a little odd.
