University of Durham

The nightlife isn't great in Durham. Most people stay within university colleges, which have their own bar's, or make the short trip to Newcastle, which has much better nightlife. Durham is a pretty place with a very old cathedral, which is the focal point of the city. All the sporting activities are organised through the individual colleges, which makes for a lot of sport should you wish to take part.

if you're looking for student-only venues, then Klute night club is for you. You have also the Student Union events which are pretty good with unbeatable prices! Not far is Newcastle for a good night out. If you want to chill out in front of a glass of wine, Venels is perfect. What is worth visiting is the cathedral and the castle.and do not miss the boat ride in spring and summer time!

My nature of study was such prohibitive that it was impossible to enjoy most of these during my study

night spots: Fabio's, Revolver, Bishop's mill, Loveshack. Best pubs: New Inn,Bishop's mill Best bars: DSU bar, Caffè Nero, Vannels Best Restaurants: Chapters of Durham

Jimmy Allen's is the best it gets; it's very nice. there are about 3 places to go in durham, or else you get a train to newcastle. only takes 15mins, but sometimes thats not the point. Saturday night revolver is also good, for those like me who cannot stand cheese (a favourite term amongst durhamers).

Well, not much choice in Durham itself but Newcastle is just 12 minuts away. Worth the hassle
