Hi there,

So glad to hear you've firmed Durham! You're going to love it here.

I understand wanting to make connections in advance, but don't worry if this is difficult as there will be endless opportunities to socialise and make friends as you enter Durham University. There are a range of great events on to welcome new students, in colleges/course departments/socieites etc. 😊

If you'd like to read about students' experiences in studying theology and religion, you can do so here:

Let me know if you have any questions about studying at Durham!

Hiya!! I've firmed Durham too! Also, my top colleges are the exact same as yours, just a different order (Stevo on top!)
My course will hopefully be geology though, so a little distant from your department building haha :smile:

Are you happy with the grades they've asked of you? Fingers crossed we'll be seeing each other in September 😊
