Freshers Week

We can’t wait to welcome you to Durham and to Castle in September, please read this message from our Head Frep, Diya, and our Social Chair, Coco on what you can expect!

Hi I'm Diya and I'm Head Frep for your Freshers' Week! I organise all the daytime events and am responsible for managing and running the week - feel free to reach out if you need anything!

Diya, Head Frep

Hi everyone, and welcome to Freshers’ Week at Castle! The week is run by the Head Frep (freshers-representative) and the social chair, helped along by our fantastic Frep team. The week will start with move in, which will be over 27th-28th September for most, and slightly earlier for international students, early arrivals and preseasons. The week is packed full of fun events, games, nights out, icebreakers, and more, so there are loads of opportunities to find your place here at Castle (as well as plenty of down-time too). We can’t wait to welcome you all, and introduce you to (in our opinion) the best Durham college!
