Now shopping i can talk on!
Shopping was on my list as one of the major things. Infact, thats one of the reasons I didnt apply for Warwick as it really is in the middle of nowhere.
Durham has all the usual, next, topshop, dorothy perkins etc. plus, if u choose a baily college, u can roll out of bed and be amongst the shops. Again, Newcastle is nearby.
Wat im concerned about is i didnt see a nail bar in durham. Or a tanning place! Not that ill be able to afford it but they dominate SE london and im gunna miss the tacky 80's posters!
