Durham currently has 16 colleges and a brand new 17th college South College ,is being built to welcome new students arriving in 2020.

New college developments

To help achieve our University Strategy, 2017-2027 goal that 50% of our students will live in college accommodation, our new 17^th College, South College, will open in 2020, along with a new home for John Snow College (Illustration of the new site pictured above).

The colleges will between them have 1000 student beds on a high-quality purpose-built site, and each college will have its own unique look and feel with its own common room, support offices and café bar. The site both Colleges will occupy, close to the main University Campus and other Colleges, will also have a Hub with an events hall and a Multi-Use Games Area and benefit from good public transport links to other Departments and Durham City centre.

For 2019/20, John Snow College will be based at Rushford Court.
