Which Durham College do I apply to?

- i would like to be catered
- decent location
- low chance of being reallocated
- low chance of having to share a room, or if I had to for 1 term that would be ok
- friendly, exciting college with lots of events and things to get involved in
- i don't mind whether it is formal/traditional or not

Any help would be great, thanks in advance

this spreadsheet is pretty helpful https://www.dur.ac.uk/experience/colleges/ourcolleges/
castle is quite popular so you'll have a high chance of being reallocated if you apply there,
chads you basically have to share in first year so :-/

only south, josephine butler, stephenson, and John snow are self catered-

mary's, castle, chads and johns all had a less than 50% chance of people getting allocated there after placing it as a preference (https://www.dur.ac.uk/resources/colleges.se.office/UGPreferencesforColleges-2019Entry.pdf)

Trevalyn would fit- locations not bad its catered, has formals but a modernish college with low chance of reallocation. You would have to share for one term only but can choose which term so you can share with a friend.
