I had a very good experience living at St Giles Studios. The studio is comfortable, well-equipped and conveniently located for students. The staff are friendly, helpful and responsive whenever I have questions or need support. Maintenance issues are also handled in a professional way. Overall, it is a safe and convenient place to live, and I would recommend it to other students looking for accommodation in Durham. read more

I have lived at St Giles Studios for three years and have had a very positive experience. The staff are warm, kind, and always willing to help, which has made my stay comfortable and reassuring. The property is safe, quiet, and well managed. I have never felt disturbed by unnecessary issues, and the overall living environment has been very pleasant. The location is also very convenient, with supermarkets nearby and easy access to Durham University. I am very satisfied with my time at St Giles Studios and would recommend it to other students. read more

I have really enjoyed my first year at durham university especially the college aspect as I feel part of a community. The college sport aspect is a true standout as it gives people who aren’t talented enough to represent the university teams a chance to still be able to represent the college. read more

The campus is clean and nice, I've never complained about the facilities although the study spaces on campus do get quite busy, so sometimes it's hard to find a seat. However, you can use your college library instead and that's generally much emptier! I love the societies so much, I've met so many of my friends through them and there is so much to get involved in. Zero pressure for college sports, but you can go competitive and do the DU sports if you want. The music is amazing, the auditioned orchestras are brilliant and go on tour! The SU is okay, I've never really used it though. I've only had bad wifi once in the whole year so that's pretty good. Overall, I love Durham -- it's great!! read more

As a state school student, I felt apprehensive coming to Durham, given its assumed culture of cliquey, privately educated posh people. However, the university for me has been one of the most inclusive and supportive environments I've ever been in. The nature of college life makes it so easy to meet people, join sports teams and take part in societies of ranging interests, combined with the size of Durham itself, it is almost impossible to meet people and make friends. Colleges and the University itself provide masses of help for postgraduate prospects, mental health, housing and so much more. Every lecturer and leader is passionate and helpful, with lectures, seminars and sessions being meaningful and interesting. read more

My college (Trevelyan) is very well situated on campus and I live in a renovated block where the rooms are spacious and have good storage facilities. Though issues can take a while to be resolved (heating issues, low toilet paper stock) the staff are accommodating and there are often events being held for students throughout the week. There are not many washing machines for the college but there are no issues for laundry. The food can get repetitive, but it is mostly good and the portion size plentiful! read more

Great opportunities with careers - I have been involved in a career mentor programme which has given me great insights into potential career paths following my geography degree. The student union isn't a great deal at Durham, because we have a lot to do within our colleges. read more
