      Student Accommodation In Durham

      Durham is a cathedral city and a county town situated in the northeast of England. The picturesque city sits on the banks of River Wear and was considered a centre for pilgrimage during the medieval period.

Durham University also has its own dedicated sporting teams which are very active all year long! The city centre itself is bustling with activity and is a place where you can spend your days shopping, sitting at cafes, walking along the river or going to a club!

      Durham is home to Durham University and several other notable universities and colleges and its student population make up a considerable percentage of the total population. Therefore, you will find no dearth of student entertainment or student accommodation Durham.
