During my time as a student, I have independently created two brand new societies at St. John’s College to bridge the gap between sports and societies. Since 2018, I have been running weekly one-hour dance fitness sessions at St John’s, recently with Naomi Wimsett as my co-choreographer. These are always so much fun, a great…
Three months on from Durham University’s first Climate Strike (which you can read about here), students gathered again to urge the University to declare a climate emergency and step up its response to the climate crisis. Poignantly held on Valentine’s Day, this was an occasion for showing love to the planet <3 as we…
I am a member of the College of St Hild and St Bede – I think my favourite thing about Hild Bede is the close sense of community. Being neither a member of the Bailey nor the Hill colleges, it is easy to forget Hild Bede, but that just means that we are much more of a close-knit college. I love the people I’ve met – some…
Thursdays are by far my busiest days; ask any first-year Classics student, and they’ll say the same: we have two of our core modules and two language classes. It’s quite a contrast to my Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays when I have no lectures at all. I found it hard at the beginning of the year to adjust to the variety from…
University life is unpredictable and it’s safe to say that no two days are the same. My time at Durham generally consists of rushing between lectures, work, college, and my house. I wake up at around 6:45 on most days, but admittedly I will push this back as far as I can if I have been working the night before or don’t have…
As a first-year Physics student, I have about 20 contact hours a week. There is so much to do in Durham that every day is different, so here’s a taster of my typical week.
Monday‘s
Monday’s are normally pretty busy. They always start in College, Hatfield, where I meet a friend for breakfast in the dining hall at…
When I talk about my year abroad, it often seems fragmented,
a bit all over the place and it tends to confuse people. Do not stress, I am
here to lay down every step I took in the crazy 14 months I spent away!
First of all, I took my year abroad as a compulsory part of my Combined Honours degree, as one of my subjects was…
Besides getting constantly confused for a fresher and hearing everyone’s music from my room (the only reason I haven’t told the guy living in the floor below me to turn it down is because he actually has good taste in music), living in college as a finalist is nothing like the first year.
I chose to live back in college…
One of the
things that surprised me about Durham when I first arrived here was that I immediately
felt so welcomed. I mean, I hardly expected not to be embraced by the
existing college community, but coming from London – where so many people at my
school shared my ethnicity, cultural experiences, and religious upbringing…
