help with college choice

Hello, I want to apply to John Snow or South college because the accommodations seem new and nice.

In some rooms, the bathroom is shared with one other person, so I suppose it wouldn’t be too bad, but I really want an en-suite.

How does Durham allocate students to an en-suite or a paired room? Is it completely random?

Should I risk it or apply to Josephine Butler instead since 100% of its rooms are en-suite?

I'm currently in John snow and I have an en-suite, the majority of people in my year at john snow did get the option of their choice but for those who didnt and ended up in the townhouses, they say it's completely fine and don't mind at all.

ah thanks.

is there any notable difference between john snow and south? which college should i put as my first choice?

For me when I was choosing out of the two, I made sure to visit them and feel the vibe of the two because they’re completely similar and share all of the same facilities (apart from their bars) it’s just that south is a bit bigger. I liked John Snow better because they seemed more friendly but south was my second and even if I didn’t get John snow I wouldn’t of minded because south was equally good.

i’m international so i can’t visit them unfortunately do you know which one is more competitive/oversubscribed?
