John Snow Accommodation 2021 - Durham University

Not sure but I think the townhouses are on the same site, just a different shape of building to the buildings with the single, en-suite rooms. They are not ‘in town’ or away from the main college site.

So are they on the mount oswald site?

Yes I think so. Some colleges have had to split up students onto two different sites due to the high volume of numbers, but I haven’t heard that that is what South is doing (unless that is what you have been told specifically) The ‘town houses’ on the South College Mount Oswald site are just a different style of accommodation on the same site.

*sorry I meant John Snow not South ! I think both colleges have similar concepts of flats and also town houses

My son received confirmation of an en-suite room at John Snow this evening, I understand a number of students received an email at the same time this afternoon reallocating them to Town Houses. I hope you don’t have to wait much longer, it’s been a a stressful month since A Level results were out 🤞

Are the John Snow townhouses with shared bathrooms ok for undergrad students please or are they more for postgrad students. My son has been allocated one of these and after reading on the JS website he/we are a bit apprehensive. Also are the rooms the same standard as the JS ensuites he viewed on the Open Day or any other differences other than a shared bathroom?

Hello, does anyone who stayed in JS last year or any parents know the size of the boxes required to fit in the wardrobe shelves/spaces please? Just so we can get some collapsible boxes in advance of our son going next weekend?

Also approximately how much storage space for crockery pots and pans do they have (roughly what would fit in/or how much would fit in)?

Our son has been allocated his own room with a shared toilet which we believe is between him and one other student can anyone comment on these style if rooms and how many students in each flat etc. Are these shared toilets cleaned by cleaners or do the students share cleaning?

Thanks

PS any other info or top tips would be appreciated for JS/Hill College students/Uni student life in Durham.

Thank you would really appreciate it

Thank you was getting a bit worried reading the description on the JS website and thinking the atmosphere and dynamics in the townhouse would be a lot different if older post grad students and academics were in the mix with young under grads.

Anyone know the cost of JS launderette? Also is it cash?
