Audrey

Durham University

BA English Literature (Q300)

Hi! I'm Audrey, a year 2 English Literature student from Hong Kong. My college is St. Mary's, and I highly recommend it - most of the friends I've made here are from Mary's as well, the community is very nice in general (I'm currently involved in the Book Club, but there are so many more societies!), and the cherry blossoms are beautiful in the spring. I'm open to discussing anything about Durham, from adjusting to the teaching and learning methods from a non-A-levels background, to the collegiate system, to food and weather (it actually rains less than you think). I'm also one of the student representatives for the English Department, so feel free to approach me with any questions about the degree!

I'm Bella - an undergraduate Law student who moved from Vietnam to Durham to start the next chapter of my life :).

Feel free to ask me any Durham / course related questions :)

Carmen

Durham University

LLB Law (M101)

Hey there! I'm Carmen, a second-year law student at Grey College (one of the best ones!). I'm originally from Malaysia, but I've fallen for Durham's charm and history. As a welfare officer at my college, I'm always here to lend an ear and create a safe space for everyone. I also juggle a part-time job at the uni, so I'd love to chat about balancing work and studies. Being an international student, I understand the challenges of adapting to a new culture. I also identify as disabled and queer, and I'm always open to sharing my experiences or offering support if needed. If you're up for a chat about life at Durham or uni life in general, I'd love to get to know you!

Hi! I'm Harry and I'm a UG Chemistry student at Castle. I am an active member of Castle JCR, and I'm involved in numerous peer support projects here at Durham. I am the current president of the Disabilities and Carers Society and I rebuilt the Castle Pride Society from scratch, introducing the college's gender affirmation fund.

I enjoy going to the gym and playing video games in my free time away from my degree. I am currently training for a half-marathon.

I am hoping to transition to a career in engineering when I graduate, as I often work in this industry over my summers away from Durham. I initially started on biology and chemistry natural sciences and I now specialise in physical chemistry, I have taken a year out and transferred colleges so I have definitely taken the scenic route! I have academic specialism in computational chemistry and quantum mechanics, materials, and fluid chemistry.

I remember how scared I was of applying to university and settling in, so please feel free to ask any questions about my course, or wider university life in general!
