Durham uni college allocation

Hi!
i submitted my college preferences a little while ago now, and we have until some point in may until the deadline.
i was wondering if anyone knows usually when we get our college allocations back? (i know they can change on results day, i just mean these preliminary allocations)
thanks !! 😊
incase anyone was wondering, my top three are st johns, st chats, and hatfield, mainly because they're catered and on the bailey, and as a theology student my lectures are right next to the cathedral so it won't be far at all to walk : )

Hiya!!
So for Durham University, college allocations usually come out in late spring / early summer - most commonly around May to early June once the preference deadline has passed. I cannot give a specific date as these change year to year and to be honest are announced once the allocation process has been finalised which may take some time depending on what colleges are oversubscribed.
A few key things to know:
Your choices sound really well thought out. St John's College, Durham, St Chad's College, and Hatfield College are all great Bailey, catered options and perfect for Theology in terms of location near the cathedral.
So yes, you should hopefully hear sometime in the next couple of months, just keep an eye on your emails! Hope this has helped.

Hi, my daughter submitted her preferences and noticed that some Hill colleges use off-site accommodation, specifically Ernest Place. This was never mentioned when we did the accomm tours on offer holder day and is relatively hidden in 'small print' and less than transparent. Do you know how these rooms are allocated if you have been given John Snow, South and Stephenson?
