About the institution
Durham University is the third oldest university in England and was ranked 5th in The Times and The Sunday Times Good University Guide 2016. It is a residential collegiate university, which many consider one of its best aspects because of the loyalty and community-feel that college life creates. There are 15 undergraduate colleges, each with their own range of sports teams, societies and other extracurricular activities, and students are encouraged to get involved with how their college is run.
