Grey College
Welcome to a place where you can grow, learn and develop… Grey is a traditional, gown-wearing college, which recalls the historic traditions of Durham University within modern student life. The College occupies a beautiful location close to the Bill Bryson Library and main Mountjoy sites. The College has a centrally located library, open 24-hours a day and Fountains Hall is a multi-purpose facility housing a chapel, music rooms, as well as an activity room with a fully functioning performance stage. When relaxing, students often find themselves in our award-winning Grey Bar. We have a relaxed, enthusiastic and friendly community, with many great societies for our students to join. Grey is renowned for its annual student events, such as themed formals, Barfest, Grey Day, a massive Fireworks display and the Phoenix Ball, to name just a few. We have a great sporting community where everyone is encouraged

to participate, whatever their ability. Arts, theatre and music are also strong at Grey; we regularly host art exhibitions, and we have our own theatre. Grey Day, our annual music festival, is a highlight of the year. Our students also run an outstanding outreach programme in the local community. The College aims to support and encourage all of its students to excel; adding value to their specialised academic studies and providing them with a variety of opportunities to unlock their broader potential. Grey students work hard to make the College an inclusive and caring place. Student representatives sit on the College Council, and the students’ own welfare committee provides much of the College’s welfare provision. Because of this support and the range of opportunities on offer, our students achieve excellent examination results and engage in a range of activities that help them develop as individuals who can contribute to society when they graduate.
Meet Andrew “Grey provides excellent facilities and a lively student population. There is a wide array of extracurricular activities available at Grey. From student outreach and welfare programmes, to traditional sports such as rowing and rugby, to more unique clubs and societies such as the Ultimate Frisbee team and UkuGREYle (the College Ukulele Club), Grey offers something for everyone. Grey is a welcoming and inclusive community and a lovely place to call home.” Andrew Loucks, Law student.
