Well firstly who picks a uni solely because it looks like another uni, there's so many factors that should play into deciding which uni you wanna go to eg course structures.
Also remember that these are provisional allocations, they can change after results day.
Trevs is also near a few other colleges so its technically not in the middle of nowhere- at least not at a location like Ustinov, that's where you would say a college is in the middle of nowhere.
And yes, its not castle or hatfield otherwise it would be called castle, or hatfield..
All colleges have traditions behind them, and you never know what kind of people you'll meet- most of them will be as fresh as you to the uni if you were to go
Noones forcing you to go to Durham after all, considering you seem quite opinionated, I'm assuming you have other unis to consider
