I’M KATIE. I’M IN THE SECOND YEAR
STUDYING PHYSICS AND I LIVE
BETWEEN THE LIBRARY AND THE DSU.
by Katie Darmody
you do not feel like trekking all around
Durham, you could always head to Klute
for a real student experience; just make
sure you get a quaddie whilst your there!
BEST PLACE TO EAT
Wednesday night is the biggest night
out during the week. As a house, we’d
start with some drinks, maybe play
some drinking games whilst we all get
ready and then head out to Lloyds or
Loveshack. They are both always packed
with students as it is where all the
sport socials head to, so be prepared
to see a lot of people out in fancy dress.
Loveshack is great if you want cheesy
music to dance to and offers really cheap
drinks. To end the night, I’d head to Pizza
Uno where there is always 30% off for
students, as everyone needs a snack
for the walk home. Other nights during
the week include College Bar’s crawls
– they’re always fun, especially if you
are playing pub golf. It is really fun to try
the different College Bar’s drinks and if
At lunchtime, if you are eating out, there
are loads of great options. For amazing
hot chocolate and an endless selection
of cheesecake, Café Continental is your
best bet. Situated next to everyone’s
favourite pizza place (Paddy’s Pizza), Café
Continental is a really cute café with a
massive menu. Only 10 minutes’ walk
away from the Library and the Science
Site, you could even squeeze in a good
lunch between lectures. If you’re in the
mood for something more substantial, In
Shanghai is the all-you-can-eat Chinese
buffet that everyone loves. They even
have fish and chips, nuggets and a variety
of English favourites for those who aren’t
keen on Chinese food. Make sure you
