Beyond the back gardens, the land falls away into the wooded gorge of the River Wear which winds round our high peninsula — once the citadel of the Prince Bishops and a symbol of Norman power.

Academic success: The College has excellent completion rates, and we have amongst the best library facilities and most extensive study spaces of any Durham college. Our students go on to a hugely varied array of vocations and careers. A majority of our UK students come from the state sector, and everyone who can make the grades is invited to apply.

Size: Perfectly-sized in our view at just over students, the College offers students the twin advantages of being part of a small, supportive, historic, inclusive community, while being fully part of one of the best universities in the UK.

International: The College is particularly committed to internationalism, co-sponsoring, for instance, the Ruth First Scholarship, which brings a postgraduate from Southern Africa to study for a year. We have an active college tutor team and a wonderful Senior Common Room and Alumni community who are keen to support our students.

This is a real community for real adults — some young and some a bit older — who are keen to take personal responsibility and to make a difference, while still having the time of their lives.

Good for them, I guess. For those less familiar, Butler is a little bit like a wholesome cult. A mole mascot, a mound, and adoration for Klute on a Friday night are just few of the many quirks of this relatively young institution. Stephenson College If you think Stephenson is boring and irrelevant, I would heavily recommend you actually visit it, so that you can confirm that it is indeed boring and irrelevant.

Of course, I am biased against Stephenson as a Butlerite, but I think I have good reason to be as such. The whole college is themed around trains which is quite possibly the saddest theme imaginable. Collingwood College Oh look, someone made the jock from every American teen movie into a Durham college. Collingwood prides itself on being absolute sweats in every sport, even their darts teams are required to train for 12 hours a day.

In their very limited free time away from representing the uni at various sporting outings, Collingwood students can be found in their offensively massive JCR, or in their bar with infamously slow service. Grey College As the name suggests, Grey College is just pretty dull. Wow, I am in complete awe of how different you are. Such levels of kookiness are almost too much to bear. My one main criticism is that the college discriminates against tall people; the college bar has an incredibly low ceiling which makes life for beanpoles like myself mildly inconvenient.

H atfield College The college everyone loves to hate, and for good reason. Hatfield exemplifies the worst of Durham with possibly the most annoying student body ever created. Ironically, Hatfield was first created as a college for poorer students.

At least their bar is nice though!
