Durham Student Housing & Accommodation | durhamStudent™
Durham student houses: that bastion of the student lifestyle. Pizza box covered living rooms, damp walls and arguments about the cost of the electricity bill.
Whilst Durham freshers will be allocated a room in one of the university's colleges, those in the second or third years of their degree can 'live out' - that is, live in rented student accommodation in Durham. Whilst there's usually a rush to find student housing in Durham between December and Feburary, don't panic and definitely don't rush into signing a contract - there were an estimated 300 spare beds in Durham in 2006, and some of the colleges have rooms standing empty.
