wanting to connect with people going to durham 2025/2026 🩷

i sat my alevels last year and i’m going to durham in september. i’m looking for other people going to durham university this september.

in year 13 i felt like i spent the whole year waiting to go to uni as i had gone to the summer school at durham but i ended up deferring and now in my gap year - for some reason - i feel more scared than excited. so i want to connect with other people going so that i can get excited about it again 💜💜

btw, im going to be studying psychology and ill be in st cuthberts college.

Hiya,

Congratulations! I'm not an incoming student but I would be happy to help if you have any Durham related questions (also I was also at Cuths) so if you have any questions about that, I'm happy to help! 🙂

Hii,
I will also be starting Psychology at Durham this year and will also be in Cuths! I don't know anyone who's going and I am also nervous about starting in September (as I imagine everyone is at this point). :smile:

hey, i’m not a psychologist and I’m not going to Cuths (although they were my second choice) but i’m also (hopefully) starting at Durham in September! (History, Hild Bede) I think everyone’s scared tbh - I’m terrified about leaving home, but I still love Durham and I’m excited to start!
