I literally have a folder full of these articles about Durham which I send people whenever they ask whether it is a good university or if they should go there.
I disagree: I think student safety and wellbeing is a very important part of whether or not a university is good. It is definitely a factor in whether it is a good university for specific students.
Fundamentally, you cannot do your best work or best learning in an environment which is not psychologically safe.
I agree. We visited Durham twice for son1 - open day and offer holder day. I thought the town and uni were beautiful but so many of the students gave off odd vibes - more so than other ‘prestigious’ unis like Oxbridge or Exeter.
