Excellent quality of life, solid teaching with leading academics, something for everyone in its own distinct style. It's a bit old-world, but very pleasant for being so.

Sports facilities are excellent, there's no problems with the library (and you'll have a college one as well as the main one). IT works fine most of the time and in college there's plenty of provision for music, drama and art.

The careers centre gets by on the reputation of the university. Provision of extra services to students used to be excellent but is increasingly getting squeezed.

Don't bother with the Students' Union - you'll be a member of a JCR and they're so much better.

Durham is an amazing city, small but unique, it feels like its own special part of the world.

Colleges mean you can always find a club where you'll know someone there already, and if you're not very good they're really accommodating and friendly to everyone. The Uni has some of the best sports teams in the country.

Some courses are top rated; mine isn't. Feedback could be much better and prompter to help us achieve more.

Big name, big appeal - recruiters know us and understand that we're hard workers with a bit more than just academics.

Massively overpriced - sharing is still a thing in 2015, and they'll charge you more than anywhere outside of London for it.

While I’ve had some extremely stressful moments and I did contemplate dropping out especially due to my health and the lack of help or recognition from the university. I believe that it’s still been a good experience as most of the modules I’ve enjoyed if I’ve had questions they have been answered. My accommodation and college have been a great places for me mentally as I’m surrounded by people my own age. The library was relatively always accessible and was a great different four walls.

The accommodation is lovely, we live on the newly built John snow complex and the rooms are lovely and so the kitchens; which great for socialising with your flat mates though these been some trouble with the internet and the laundry as some people leave there things in the machine for a longgggg time !

I’m actually struggling with some really really bad mental and physical health issues of current and though they have put some concessions in they haven’t really checked on me.

With the few in person things I had this year for tutorials it’s was nice as we could talk after, however they didn’t always make it clear what needed to be done before these in person thing. All my lectures were recorded this year which is disappointing but covid. Though most was okay and there was discussion boards to ask questions sometimes lectures were as forth coming as I think you could be in person.
