About Durham University
Durham University is collegiate, with departments, colleges, and residences spread around Durham City. College membership and accommodation are related but not identical, so confirm both your department and allocated college.
Accommodation planning for Durham University
Most first-year undergraduates live in college accommodation, while eligibility and application routes differ for postgraduates, exchange students, returners, and private renters. Catering and room types vary by college.
- Compare the route from each college or private address to your department rather than one generic campus pin.
- Read the current college-allocation, residence-charge, catering, and contract information for your category.
- For private housing, verify the landlord, deposit protection, bills, licence period, and cancellation terms.
What to check before booking in the UK
The right room depends on your teaching campus, intake dates, contract length, and whether the provider requires a UK guarantor. Treat the advertised weekly figure as a starting point, then compare the complete contract and payment schedule.
- Confirm the campus and realistic route at your teaching times
- Compare total rent, deposit, bills, guarantor cost, and payment dates
- Ask what happens if your visa, course, or arrival date changes

Do You Need a UK Rent Guarantor?
Some UK accommodation providers may ask for a UK-based guarantor or an alternative such as advance rent. Requirements vary, so confirm the exact policy for each property before paying.
If you do not have a suitable guarantor, we can share information about third-party guarantor services. Check eligibility, fees, coverage, exclusions, and cancellation terms directly with the provider.
