Anyone who has been a student at Durham University will be biased towards their own College (unless their experience was awful).
Durham is a small city so all the Colleges are within walking distance of the city centre, departments, and other colleges. Each college has a balanced community of all disciplines. Individual characteristics however set them apart and make them all quite distinctive. Many of the older Colleges (University College; Hatfield; St. Chads, St. John's, St. Hild & St. Bede, St. Mary's) tend to be more traditional (to varying degrees) - whereas the newer Colleges (St. Adian's; St. Cuthbert's; Grey; Van Mildert) tend to be less formal. Style and quality of rooms vary between and within colleges - though with a constant eye on the conference trade all rooms and colleges are of a good standard.
