To the front is Durham Cathedral, and to the back are lawns and the River Wear. The College is made up of the equivalent of fourteen buildings, each of which preserves some of the original detail of these listed buildings. Almost every room in St Chad's is distinct. Wherever your room is, you'll find it well-equiped, and you'll find friendly neighbours. Most second year students live out in rented accommodation, but they are encouraged to come and dine in College and to use College facilities.
Most finalists return to live in College.
We can almost always guarantee to provide you with two years' accommodation. Dining During a survey of student dining halls in 2000, St Chad's was tied for first place for having the best food in the University. The College's Head Chef, Tony Bell, may look easy-going, but he runs a mean kitchen. It is no wonder that the College is one of the chief caterers to functions throughout the University. Lunch and dinner are full hot meals, with salad options.
