• We have one campus spread across County Durham.
• We had a gym, library, and sports ground.
• Lots of ongoing campus festivals, college days, formals, and balls. Summer ball is the best out of them.
• Every possible society you can think of, from finance to ramen noodle society. One can take part in sports for their university or college; there are debates as well.

• For each lecture we had 2 lectures, and we were divided into smaller seminar groups where we had a separate seminar leader each.
• I found the teaching very appropriate and helpful; we got a lot of support from our tutors and seminar leaders.
• Yes, we have a separate careers department that helps with part-time, internship and graduate job searches.
• My dissertation advisor was my most helpful mentor, as she dedicated a lot of time toward helping me reach my full potential.

• Durham University follows a collegiate system. We had 14 colleges. Every college had its own fest, bar, library, gym. There were lot of events where one could participate.
• You can also apply for a part time job at the bar. This takes care of job and ensures that its nearby. However, it was quite competitive to get the job as most of the students would apply for it. 

• I was staying in a university accommodation. The total rent payable for the year was 8000 pounds. The university accommodation is generally expensive.
• The challenges was cooking and since Durham being an english town you do not have access to basics like vegetables, wheat flour, dal etc.,
• If you have roommates you can pick a bungalow and stay on sharing basis. This would be a cheaper alternative. My accommodation was 10-15 mins walk away. 

• The city is the campus! Colleges, departments, accommodations are scattered across the city. 
• Sports centre, Multiple Libraries, multiple cafes, vending machines, cycle stands, parking spaces, printers and photocopier command centre 
• Every college has formal dinners once a week, june ball in Durham castle, bailey balls, oriental museum diwali and so on.
• Durham University offers a vibrant extracurricular scene with over 200 student societies and numerous opportunities for students to engage beyond academics. Team Durham provides an extensive sports program, featuring over 50 sports clubs catering to all skill levels, from recreational to competitive.
• The university also has a rich arts and cultural environment, with Music Durham supporting various ensembles, including choirs, orchestras, and a cappella groups, while Durham Student Theatre hosts diverse performances throughout the year. For debate enthusiasts, the historic Durham Union Society provides a platform for discussions and events.
• The university’s college system further enriches the experience, with each college organizing its own unique activities, events, and traditions, ensuring there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

• I got afforded accommodation from the University. All Masters students got accommodation offer.
• Yearly Rent is 12375 so, that would make it monthly 1037 GB. Facilities include: Laundry (paid), Free Vacuum cleaner, brooms, Steam Press,vending machines, gym, cinema room, study room, common room, Lockboxes. 
• There were no photos available for my particular type of room. 
• There are no lifts, so taking luggage or any other things are difficult 
• Its 15-20 mins walk and 10 mins bus ride from all university campuses 

• * So the college has number of campuses like
  1. Teaching and Learning centre building
  2. Waterside building
  3. Old Business school
  4. Law school
  5. Chemistry building
  6. Elvet building
  7. Mountjoy building
  
  * As Durham University is spread across the county, we have all facilities like sports, library, medical services but they’re all spread throughout the county. We have one of the best libraries in UK, we have one of the best sports facilities centre.
  
   

• I found my accommodation through university only, my accommodation is university accommodation not a private one so college had sent a full brochure of different colleges and we had to apply give our preference for top 3 colleges and out which they were supposed to allocate us 1 of their choice.
• I pay £740 for my ensuite room which includes a bed with mattress and my own personal washroom and a sharing kitchen among 5 flatmates.
• Only challenge that I faced was choosing college at the right location from my university and I found a right college as one of my university building is nearby but the central durham(marketplace) and another building is a little far with uphill and downhill but the people here are really nice and its a safe area as there are many good residential houses in this area making it secure and nuisance free.
• My recommendation for future students would be to check distance from your college building and marketplace as those would be the places you wish to stay nearby to. Also choosing university accommodation would be a better option rather than a private as you might have to pay a little extra amount but you have some many students to connect with, all events to celebrate.
• So Durham has all university buildings spread all over the city, so the old business school is around 10 mins by walk whereas new business school is around 25 mins of walk and I have lectures at both business schools. At Durham isn’t any specific place where major Indians stay, all the colleges and private residencies are have 10-15 minimum of Indians staying.

• The college campus is spread over the whole city of Durham. All the buildings are spread over different locations in Durham, which include the Teaching and Learning Centre, the Palatine Centre, the Old Business School, the Bill Bryson Library, the Waterside Business School, etc.The major clubs here include Jimmy Allens, Babylon, Fabius, Ozborns, etc.
• The major attraction here is the Durham Cathedral.

• I found my accommodation on the college website itself, as I booked for a university-owned and controlled accommodation, Ustinov College. All the basic facilities are provided; the rooms are good enough as per the student. It also has a common area with leisure activities and a bar. Yaa, Ustinov is a good accommodation; it’s centrally located from the academic buildings and the city centre; my monthly rent for an en-suite is here 9250. 
  A good no. Of Indians live here, 30-35. 

Campus infra is superb. Very advanced technology at all places...so much greenery ....mind blowing library which remains open 24x7 during term time ...so many places to sit and read, and Wi-Fi speed is mind-blowing...my university was recognized as sports university of the year in 2023.

I had to pay 10k GBP for 11 months rent (excluding food but including all bills+ wifi) for a en-suite room.
