A few years I embarked on a 2 year National Diploma course at New College Durham, studying a couple…read moreof A levels alongside. I was a terrible student and played truant constantly - but even so, I received a lot of support from the lecturers on my courses, and eventually passed everything. The courses were all expertly laid out, something that I've since found doesn't apply to all learning institutions, and even now, I remember the gist of my modules studied, and just how much the lecturers put up with. In one of my modules, the lecturer would drone on and on whilst the entire class surfed the internet and talked amonst themselves. I wonder if he cared - he must have known. He was obviously knowledgable about his subject, so I don't quite understand why he even bothered with a class that wasn't paying attention. Many of my lecturers had a lot of qualifications - PhDs and Doctorates and the likes. The college offers many courses of further education, from GCSEs and A levels to vocational courses in Computing, Beauty Therapy, Health and Social Care to day release NVQ schemes and has dedicated areas for most of them. The facilities are excellent - there is a library the size of a university's, a large refrectory canteen as well as a few coffee kiosks and a shop for purchasing stationary. The college also offers part time courses and now, higher education as well. The college is set among some large playing fields and has many sporting societies. There are a few pubs, cafes and supermarkets in the street immediately to the outside of the college, and Durham city and the Arnison Centre are about a mile either side of it.

Mind you - the university that I graduated from in the US was a small private Catholic institution. I really enjoyed studying there and thought it was a nice place for a study abroad experience.

Today, Thursday the 22nd Day of the Moon/Month of November, MMXVII - 2018 A.D. I read on Yahoo! or…read moreBing News that several United Kingdom Newspapers reported that Mr Mathew Hedges, aged 31, a post-graduate Ph.D. Student/Researcher educated by/or still employed at Durham University, has been under investigation and arrested several times by the Government of the United Arab Emirates, since the 5th Day of May MMXVIII - 2018. Mr Mathew Hedges wife is pictured with her husband in the United Kingdom, in Central London, near the seat of the United Kingdom Government. Mr Mathew Hedges is not identical to the Mr Mathew Hedges who is currently employed a Her Britannic Majesty Queen Elisabeth's Ambassador to Paraguay, and worked as a Diplomat in various positions since before the year MM - 2000 A.D. The University of Durham has not issued any statement on Yelp on Mr Mathews inprisonment. I heard that Professzor Iva'n Szele'nyi, who disappeared from The Karl Marx University of Economics and Politics, Budapest, was teaching us Sociology there, a Teacher at the Sociology Department at the Karl Marx University of Economics and Politics, visiting the United States of North Amerika in 1963 on a one year scholarship, is Professzor of Sociology at the 'New York University of Abu Dhabi' ??, Professzor Norman Stone is Professzor at Bilkent University, and could also be interested in the matter, as they are both personally involved, as I am in researching matters of Internatinal Economics and Politics. Professzor Peter De La Fosse Wiles books on the Economics of the Soviet Union will also give some information on how the situation leading to Mr Mathew Hedges five months inprisonment in the United Arab Emirates developed. When the Irish ITV Television Journalist was taken hostage in Beirut, other people teaching in Beirut were also taken hostage, leading to the Special Envoy of the Archbishop of Canterbury being taken hostage.

A great computer room with ideal air conditioning making the room feel cool to work up sets the standered for the rest of the college.

The Queen Elizabeth Sixth Form College is a very striking building and has a great reputation as a…read morecollege with its results from students. I attended this Sixth Form College for two years and thoroughly enjoyed it, it was probably some of my best years in education so far. The teachers are very warm and welcoming and always have time for you. The atmosphere is slightly more laid back than secondary school and they give your more responsibility and begin to treat like adults. There is a wide range of courses available from business studies to Film studies to biology and fashion! I would recommend this establishment ten times over.

One of the most bizarrely shaped colleges in Durham (and well loved by students and alumni for…read morethis), you will be challenged to find a right angle within these walls. Based on hexagons, the corridors bend and twist and allow old hands to play 'confuse the interviewee', although after a very short time the logic of the place sinks in. The bar is easy to find, situated close to the entrance or cobbles, and the rest of the blocks spread out from there. Trevs was originally an all women college, before becoming mixed in the late 1980s.

Been to see this Uni twice now, as I plan to go here, and I can say it really is fantastic! The…read morefacilities look amazing, and are very state of the art. The people are really friendly, and all of the teaching staff seem really enthusiastic about the course(s) they teach. The student accommodation is really good here as well, as all of it is really close to the Uni itself (I think the furthest is about a 5 minute walk)! It's definitely worth a look as in my opinion I think it's a top Uni. Even if you are going to Uni here, it's worth a look just to see the buildings!

The fellow students comes from different backgrounds, which are great. The class rooms are modern and well equipped. This university expands so fast in the last 10 years. It has just built a new campus in new bridge street (central newcastle), which is absolutely state of the art building. The new building in new bridge street is well architectured and modern. The student union is fun as well. The problem is just the exams and the assignments are not easy, which is good as it shows the quality.
