Made my durham life so much going on and so friendly
No reception but internet is amazing. Clean facilities, friendly people, great food!
St. John´s is a lovely place to live. The community is great, people are very friendly, and you get supported very well. It´s a small college, so you get to know most people who are living there very quickly. The only downside is that there are often not enough study spaces, and it can be very loud and crowded and sometimes the working spaces are either very cold or very warm. In some years there will be the learning ressource centre, which is now being planned, and then this problem will hopefully be no longer an issue.
A warm, family-like college with a tight-knit community and wonderful smiley college staff
Excellent,friendly college. Such a beautiful location on the old Bailey. The staff go above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect and there is everything you need, also the food is the best in Durham!
A fantastic college with lots of friendly faces and opportunities in front of you. Strongly recommend that you should apply here.
Pretty good accommodation but other colleges do offer more for your money
Love this cute college, it makes such a supportive and friendly community. The food here is really good, especially during our formals. It's located conveniently for lectures and going to town centre, has rooms looking out onto the cathedral and bailey, and you get to know everyone -including the lovely staff- so well.
