Durham University
Lovely Durham is home to one of the country's top universities. The city is picturesque, wooded, hilly and aching with heritage. The brooding Norman cathedral dominates the skyline - and it tells you something about the prestige of the university that one of its colleges is housed in the castle right next door.
Durham is a collegiate university, meaning that student life has a real sense of focus and community to it. There's also more than a whiff of Oxbridge to proceedings - fun, if you like that sort of thing.
If you don't, you'll probably be relieved to know that Durham has put its money where its mouth is when it comes to widening participation. Its Queen's campus in nearby Stockton-on-Tees boasts plenty of local and mature students.
Durham students are well placed for glorious countryside and coastline and there are good transport links - especially rail, since you're on the fast east-coast line here - should you want to leave. Though why would you? |
