Durham is TINY for people coming from big cities. i came from london and still havent gotten over the shock! no diversity (majority are white middle-class and privately educated, which isnt a problem, but when there is not much else it gets stifling and also is quite conservative). Nightlife is non-existent; i found it quite dull to be honest. newcastle is much more exciting, though it's not hard to be.

Nice town/city, but you could do a day trip and see it all in an afternoon; to spend 3 years here is quite different. if you want something VERY different or you think you could get used to it, go ahead; if you want diversity, and a proper university experience, go somewhere better!

You can walk across durham in about an hour, it seems! a bike maybe for living out, but otherwise you can walk everywhere. train station's close for emergency getaways , i.e. when you will actually die if you're not exposed to something that even mildly resembles culture soon (not durham's strong point). it's an experience, like everything, i suppose...
The college system is quite restrictive and treats you like a child, as does the 'welfare team'. The cleaners worked really hard, cleaning rooms once a week and emptying your bins about 3 times a week. Personally, i felt that at the ripe old age of 18, i could probably clean my own room and was uncomfortable about the idea of someone having to clean my stuff - somehow a little elitist? Catered accommodation, so you have to go and line up at a certain time for lunch, breakfast, dinner - grrrr! a little annoying, and the formals are very high on the elitism scale!

Jimmy Allen's is the best it gets; it's very nice. there are about 3 places to go in durham, or else you get a train to newcastle. only takes 15mins, but sometimes thats not the point. Saturday night revolver is also good, for those like me who cannot stand cheese (a favourite term amongst durhamers).
