Heya! I'm considering doing psych and education studies in Durham. Its kind of in the top two unis for me right now. Really confused with the colleges, though. From what I understand, the closest to my department is St Hild and Bede (sorry that I'm shortening it) but I kind of like St Cuthbert. I'm also considering University, St John's, St Chad's and Hatfield, as they are relatively close to the School of Education. Any advice on the colleges? Thanks in advance!

Firm / Insurance: I'm a gap year applicant (Got A*A*A in my A2s, on top of AAAA in my AS), so I would firm Cambridge as my first choice, then Durham, and then Lancaster.

Thanks! I chose it for a few reasons. 1) It's actually a really good university, though an overlooked one by most - it's no.9 in all the rankings. 2) It's a campus university and a beautiful one at that. 3) The course is really good for my interests. 4) It is based in the North, which is nice for me as a native of Durham.

Yeah, I’m okay with that! I mean, so long as you don’t get stuck with someone you just don’t get on with, I think it’s a really good way of giving you a leg-up when making friends. But then it’s also so touch and go aha!
