Sonia - New StudentsOn behalf of the whole College Family at Grey, I would like to extend a warm welcome from all members of the College.

Grey College is a wonderful place to engage with both your studies and the wider aspects of student life.

As a student here, you’ll be part of an active and friendly community of people from all around the world, from many different backgrounds, and having a whole host of interests.

University student
Welcome to Grey! I'm Cal, your Junior Common Room (JCR) President this year. A huge congratulations on getting a place at Durham - we can't wait to welcome you to our college and family. I've just finished 3 years studying PPE here and loved every minute of it. There is so much to get involved in at Grey, whether its sports, societies, events or much more. As JCR Prez, it is my job to represent and support all our Grey students, and help make sure your time here is as memorable as it has been for me!

Your first week in Durham – University Welcome Week Events Timetable

The Timetable has been designed so College events don’t clash with any of your academic departmental events, but offer you lots of opportunities to meet your fellow Freshers, find your way around and settle into student life.

To help you keep track of where you need to be, and what you need to do during your first busy days at university, in your College and your Department, we have created a day-by-day University Welcome Week Planner. This should help you to plan your schedule, so you don't miss anything - from being issued with your Campus Card or meeting the staff in your Department, to trying out for a sports team or joining a student society.
