Grey is a relaxed college with a fantastic community.

Colleges at Durham are so much more than just a place of residence; they are individual, unique communities that support you in your academic endeavours, while providing opportunities to get involved in a rich variety of extra-curricular activities in College and the wider University.

At Grey, our students organise sports, societies and social events - our dedicated and professional staff run enrichment and support, accommodation and catering.

At Grey we particularly pride ourselves in three areas: Creativity, Community and Opportunity.

Creativity:  Students make great use of our music practice rooms, and artistic facilities, including a wide array of Junior Common Room owned musical instruments - and a Steinway piano. We have a thriving Arts' Committee and Choir. Grey has a tradition of hosting art exhibitions and there is thought-provoking art displayed all around the College, including work by Grey Fellow, Thetis Blacker.

Community:  Grey is a place where anyone can come and feel part of something. Whatever your interests, you will be a valued member of the College community, supported to by staff and other students to be who you are. It is our mission to ensure you feel at home here.

Opportunity:  Grey has a wide array of opportunities. Whether that be participation in events, sports, societies and the arts through the JCR; personal development and career skills from the College; or the lectures and seminars on topical issues - there is always something to get involved in. In addition we can support individual students, we are fortunate that our generous alumni funding enables students to benefit from opportunities that might otherwise have been out of reach.

Our main focus is in providing these opportunities to all - regardless of wealth, race, age, gender, sexuality, faith or anything else.
