Welcome to John Snow! Being involved within our college community and JCR is one of the best experiences you can take away from university and at John Snow College our spirit and inclusiveness make this easily accessible and a lot of fun! The JCR is the undergraduate body of students. It is a student-led organisation that is self-governed by a committee of elected students who each lead a different aspect of JCR life, to explore further visit the following link https://www.johnsnowjcr.co.uk/

Your first week in Durham – University Induction Week Events Timetable

The Timetable has been designed so College events don’t clash with any of your academic departmental events, but offer you lots of opportunities to meet your fellow Freshers, find your way around and settle into student life.

To help you keep track of where you need to be, and what you need to do during your first busy days at university, in your College and your Department, we have created a day-by-day University Induction Planner. This should help you to plan your schedule, so you don't miss anything - from being issued with your Campus Card or meeting the staff in your Department, to trying out for a sports team or joining a student society.
