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

Durham has been a rollercoaster. I have been able to compete in college sport, attend fancy balls and formals, fight live in front of a crowd of around 1,000 people, and enoy the bliss of summer by the river weir. That being said, I've also had rats in my second year house, a constantly breaking washing machine, the darkest and wettest winters of my life, and the agony of seeing an ex almost everytime I go out into the tiny city of that is Durham. I have, so far, loved my time at Durham. It has been an experience that has helped me grow so much in so many ways. But, the lows are low, and the loose structure of a (not too demanding) humanities course (not for want of academic demands) has not helped. As the summer of 2nd year approaches, and my time at Durham has reached over half way in its completion, I can't help but find myself wondering If i'll reach those highs again - or if it will peter out, into a steady medium of 3rd averageness. Very pretty Cathedral. read more
