DURHAM UNIVERSITY

Dylan - February 2024

Durham is a beautiful city and university with great social opportunities. The traditions are very strong at this school. It feels today like how Oxford and Cambridge were twenty years ago. Sometimes administration can be a challenge, many people have difficulty in knowing how to pay tuition and the university is slow to respond to emails. Also, there are far too many international students and just students in general. The university’s expansion plans are causing a drop in the school’s national and international rankings and causing the university to be in danger of losing its character. read full review
The town of Durham is charming and vibrant, and just generally a nice place to live. Student life may be a little unvaried, but the colleges do a good job of offering social opportunities and building a community. read full review
Durham is a small city so students make up a very large proportion of the term time population, as a result you'll see people you know out and about all the time, something I really like. It also means that no matter where you live in the city you'll be within walking distance of pretty much anything you need.

One problem with durham is its relatively quiet in terms of nightlife, there are clubs and bars but they all close at 2 and the clubs aren't the best. However Newcastle is just a 10/15 min train journey away if you want a big night out. read full review
