Welcome to the St Cuthbert's Society website
St Cuthbert's Society is a College of Durham University; we are a scholarly community offering an unrivalled student experience steeped in history but forward-looking. We celebrate our 125th Anniversary in 2013 and we hope that all members of our community will get involved. We are one of the largest colleges and appeal to a wide range of people; we are the only college to offer a range of accommodation and catering options to suit a variety of lifestyles. Our diverse student body means that people of all ages, nationalities and backgrounds socialise together and learn from each other in our welcoming, friendly environment. As a scholarly community we anticipate that prospective students who choose St Cuthbert's intend to work hard at their academic studies but also to participate in college life. We support and encourage your learning, both in and outside the classroom, and want and expect the best from and for our students.

Why choose St Cuthbert's?

- Historic and beautiful: Originally set up as a Society in 1888 but now a college of Durham University, we occupy a peaceful spot at the far end of the historic, cobbled street - 'the Bailey', a short walk from Durham's city centre.

- But also modern and purpose-built: As a dual-site college, we also boast modern facilities at our Parsons Field site, close to the river and providing single rooms only, many of which are en-suite.

- Double the facilities: With both our sites offering a great range of facilities, our students have access to two of everything; two bars, two gyms, two study rooms, two TV rooms, two computer suites, two laundarettes... We also have an excellent college library on the Bailey site and an excellent music suite on the Parsons Field site.

- Double the options: Our dual-site also means that we can offer a number of catering options to suit you, whatever you prefer: fully-catered, self-catered and part-catered. We also offer 'pay as you go'; just call into the college office to buy a meal ticket.
