Nah mate Durham uni is the place get into the right college and
your halls are in a freekin Castle!! They used to have a pball team
too I think although not sure what the situation is with that now.
if i was you id go to either liverpool or leeds cause they are both awesome student citys in every aspect- chicks, cheap beer, loads of cool bars and clubs, plus you'll have loads of free time so thers more things to kill it with
