Living out of College

Our students are diverse, with different housing needs. We recognise that no one type of housing meets everyone’s needs.

The Durham student housing market is accessed by different groups of students at different times of the year. There are a wide variety of providers, housing types and locations serving the different needs of our diverse student population.
