Durham

city description

Bill Bryson ‘stopped off for an hour or so’ and ‘fell in love instantly’ with Durham. It’s not difficult to see why. The University of Durham, England’s third oldest uni, was named the Sunday Times University of The Year in 2005. The small city is steeped in history; you cannot fail to miss the incredible cathedral smack in the middle of the city. It’s surrounded by an eclectic mix of restaurants, bars and nightclubs to suit all tastes, and more importantly pockets. Chat about life at uni in the North East

Durham is really lush but there isnt much 2 do in the town besides eat n drink. its easy to get everywhere because of the train station though and its a really nice place to live!! added 07 / 10 / 08 10:28

I love Durham! I know I've lived there all my life but I think it's beautiful and if I dont end up at Durham Uni I'll miss it LOADS!
its not too far from newcastle or sunderland and the night life isnt too bad

Having lived outside London all my life shops, cinemas etc have always been at hand but Durham whilst it's not the best at offering all of this gives you better quality of life because you escape the London panicked rush of life up there... not to mention cheaper to live :D added 16 / 12 / 07 04:09
