You'll love your all-inclusive en suite apartment room or studio let, conveniently located for the University of Durham, Durham University Business School and Durham centre. This gem of a city may be small but it's packed with entertainment and activities, including more than 200 societies at Durham's Student Union.
Durham is an historic city and its university is the third oldest in Britain, ranked one of the top 100 in the world. Studying here combines tradition with cutting-edge academia and facilities, as the university has 16 colleges and stunning architecture. The Castle and Cathedral is a UNESCO world heritage site. If they already look familiar, it's because the cathedral and its medieval cloisters appeared in the Harry Potter films.
Student culture and entertainment revolves around the university's colleges, which each have their own bar. Foodies will love the farmers' markets and popular brunch spots. Or you could stop in at the world's smallest gin bar, Tin of Sardines. Heading outdoors, you can hire a rowing boat on the River Wear, go hiking in the surrounding hills and forests, and explore the independent shops dotted around the city's cobbled streets.
Your student housing in the heart of Durham puts you side by side with the city's arts and culture. Durham University's own music societies and theatre companies put on hundreds of performances every year, including the Durham Drama Festival. Plus, the Gala Theatre hosts drama, comedy and bands, as well as the Durham Book Festival and the TakeOff Festival of theatre.
Durham's steep, hilly streets are rich in history, from the medieval magnificence of the cathedral and castle to the Victorian architecture of the city centre. Industrial heritage is celebrated in Beamish, The Living Museum of the North, Kilhope Lead Mining Museum and railway museum Locomotion in nearby Shildon. But it's your time studying at one of the university's famous colleges that will make Durham part of your personal story.
