John Snow College is a modern, purpose-built college situated in a great location for Stockton town centre, and a short 10–minute walk to Queen’s Campus.
Many of our students take part in competitive sport at College and University levels and benefit from the campus’s state-of-the-art sports centre and boathouse.
“My college experience has been truly amazing and I have been involved with so many things along the way. One huge highlight for me has been getting involved in the College sports teams. I have had the best time and met so many people from playing on multiple teams and it’s helped shape my College experience tremendously.
Our friendly, enthusiastic students provide a dedicated ‘move in’ team to help new arrivals quickly feel at home, and all new students are allocated a ‘college parent’ (a second- or third-year student) to help them settle in. High-quality, self-catering accommodation is provided for our first years (either in College or at Mezzino Halls of Residence), as well as two evening meals per week in the Waterside Restaurant at Queen’s Campus. Each term, we host formal dinner events, where we dress in formal attire and academic gowns. With plenty of student-organised events, John Snow is a great
With our spacious art studio and music room, John Snow is a stimulating environment for those interested in the arts. Our students run societies including choir, orchestra, jazz group, art, and the successful Infinity Musical Theatre group, all of which have the opportunity to perform at several functions throughout the year. Many of our students also volunteer with Student Community Action (SCA), across a wide range of community-based projects. At John Snow, we encourage our students to develop in every area of life, providing support and opportunities for them to explore new ideas and thrive both in and outside the academic environment.
Along with this, I have been involved in the musical aspect of the College, performing in arts showcases and at other events. I was elected onto the JCR committee as Ball Chair Officer, organising both the John Snow College winter and summer balls. This made me realise I would like a career in events management and has given me so much experience and confidence in this field.” Anna Mackey, Psychology (Applied) student
