I am very glad I chose DC at Durham. I have studied in the UK for two years and stayed at more than three different student apartments (both in London and Durham), and I have to say DC is the BEST! Large house, new equipment, quick service (Steve can do everything !!!), and very very very kind reception! I have to move to Newcastle next year due to academic reason, and I will miss days at DC so much…

Durham university has the most professional education in UK and I can promise that, I gain lots of things and friends in here.
The facilities at CH were excellent! The dishwasher made it a great convenience for me! Hot water and wifi 24 hours without interruption. It was quiet around the apartment and I had a good rest every day. Reception staff were available 24 hours to help and they were all helpful and able to solve all my questions. Especially the staff Caitie, she is already know my needs. And can help in a timely manner! I would choose to stay here if I had the chance.
Durham University is beautiful. The College system is also special. I was able to feel a unique sense of humanity here.
Lots of opportunities to get involved in and people to socialise with!

Lecturer is lovely, packed with knowledge, however the internet around campus is very bad
Good good good good good good good
Friendly lecturers who are helpful
The study experience at Durham is very good, with many colleges throughout the University, which can make you feel very much at home. Durham is a small place, but the landscape is beautiful, the architecture is distinctive and the learning environment is very, very good. The university offers a lot of infrastructure, learning resources and the experience of going to school is very good.
Oversubscribed university, not enough accommodation and private rental market in Durham is crazy, competitive and expensive and uni don't do enough to help with that.
Durham university provide the best study environment for me. The teacher are really professional. They always trying their best to answer the questions student have faced.
I’ve had a good experience at Durham.
Good for learning Good for learning
Like it, very good academic atmosphere
Fantastic place to study. I enjoyed the best quality in education whereby professors have been really useful
Very good experience, if a bit posh at times
Good teaching with good facilities, the sports scene is very big but a lot of societies are based around drinking culture.
Teachers are kind and responsible in sociology departments.
Great uni with good social life, studies and sporting/societal activities
Most facilities are new, teachers are very good and caring
The campus environment is very good, the staff are conscientious and responsible, there are many excellent associations, it is difficult to say what shortcomings,
University facilities are in advance and new
I THINK DURHAM UNIVERSITY IS ONE OF THE BEST UNIVERSITIES IN UK. I AM VERY HAPPY TO STUDY HERE.
Great student apartment with the best location in Durham.
Good！Perfect！It is good for studying
I am very happy to study in Durham University. The professors and staffs are really great. They respond the emails and offer help very quickly. And it’s nice to make friends with your classmates.
Of course I love this small town and people. This is the best university I’ ever been. With excellent teachers and classmates.
Best university gives an unforgettable experience.
Transport is sometimes not very convenient and there are always problems with the wifi
Fun university. inclusive ! many events
Pretty enjoyable place so far :)
A good university with a wide range of opportunities to get involved with
All the teachers and classmates are very friendly, they have helped me a lot. And I have learned a lot of knowledge here. It is a quiet and peaceful place which can give us nice atmosphere of studying. I like here a lot.
All the teachers and classmates are very friendly. I really enjoy living in Durham and am looking forward to the next year. Durham University has given me a great university life.
Great place to focus on yourself and study. Not crowded but have enough support from uni. Love to use Library facilities
Amazing university. I have particularly benefitted from the 'Durham Difference' - the small group tutorial teaching in groups of up to 6. This makes Durham stand out among other unis, we are truly treated as individuals by tutors rather than cogs in a machine.
Good place to start a new life!
Excellent for sports, societies and social activities. Nice city with everything within walking or bus distance. Courses themselves are well ran and intellectually stimulating
It is a good place and location. It is Jan’s hahahaha
Too few lectures / tutorials for law
The professors here are so kind and patient，the basic equipments there are helpful.
Good experience but sometimes difficult to contact due to long reply time.
Very enjoyable experience with great facilities and great professors as well.
Great teaching! Excellent material was provided to students. Amazing facilities.
Greatest organization ever nothing beats it should be ranked above Cambridge
Friendly staff, complete facilities!
Durham is definitely the right place for me, but sometimes it can feel a bit excluding being an international student. But overall, I do find my sense of belonging here
It was an amazing experience taht I truly needed to grow and learn to take responsibility for my work. I was given great access to a great and very reasonably priced accommodation. Both the course and accommodation provides great value for money.
Good teachers and interesting lessons
I think everyone's experience at Durham can be and is very different based on where they're coming from, what they're studying, what they're expecting, etc. As an international postgrad student, the university itself is great academically, but socially and administratively it's subpar. Its quite a small town with not very much to do - so if you can't find your group, then it can get quite lonely. Accommodation and food are more expensive here too. But it is a lush, pretty town! The cathedral is stunning and the nature is underrated. Overall, a mixed bag.
Good university…………………………………….
Durham is very suitable for any person who loves a peaceful yet pleasant lifestyle. University staffs are responsive, professional and supportive. Facilities are accessible and useful. Great experiences.
Absolutely brilliant university with its dedication to inspire every students with different backgrounds! As an international student I find it very interesting and exciting to not only study here, but also get to experience so many things under such a diverse and inclusive culture in the UK!
There is no doubt Durham University is . You will never forget your life here!
Awesome. Great course; the professors are top draw. Location beautiful. It’s a pleasure.
This is my second time at Durham, and all I can say is that I find myself here--intellectually and personally.
The web site to book spaces in Billy B/TLC… such as study rooms, PC desk… is really complicated to use. I tried several times and I’m confused. Another thing; I’m at the business school and we didn’t get a ball when every other school had one.
Outstanding university - excellent experience
Everything is good in Durham, I love the campus in the village with natural views, and the facilities and staffs are excellent.
I love the studying experience in the Durham, I will miss here so much after I graduated
It is good in providing international services
In my experience so far in the months I've been here I would state that my experience is okay.
The campus environment is good.
Studying at Durham University has made me feel very fulfilling, although the homework is difficult, but the beautiful scenery makes me feel happy. Especially, boating in the river to enjoy the sunset is both romantic and free.
Very happy and delighted experience.
I don't wish to write a written review
I love durham university, it has been so special and i look forward to whats to come
Its been a great experience so far. I've made lots of new friends from different countries. And of course the teaching is great.
As an international student it has been great, rewarding and exposing. I have been able to learn new things and acquire knowledge that i am sure would last me a life time. The tutors and Staff are seasoned and academically impactful. I would encourage all to apply and have their own life changing academical and social experiences
Good uni overall, there're plenty of clubs and society you can join, and plenty of opportunities available. Staff are generally great and are very willing to help you with any issues you're having
Colleges are the best part of uni! Such a lovely community feel
nothing’s really special about this place
Love my uni, love my college. John Snow volleyball club #1
The University is adequate but there is little to none student support in general
