Being an international student, I was honestly not very aware of what made Durham different from other universities. It was only when I had spent a couple of years here that I realised how the collegiate system made it stand out – you have another community of your own in addition to all your classmates with a more accessible support system for each student and being a small, mostly student-populated city just makes life so much easier and saves time.
