Which college at Durham should I go to?

I’m a sociable person so I would like a college with formals / people that like to go out. I prefer the modern colleges and an en-suite, and for the college to be pretty sporty. Any suggestions please?

It's a good idea to see where your lectures will be e.g. for the Science building choose a Hill College as it will be more convenient. Collingwood is a big college and sporty. Grey College is the only one which includes most of your sports subs in your junior common room sub. There are lists that show the colleges, no of rooms, whether they do formals etc which can help you order them for preference.

Thank you. I’ll be in the business area

My daughter is in 2nd year and had Collingwood as first choice but ended up with Grey which was her 5th choice so it's probably a good idea to rank them. I think she put them all in order from memory.
