John Snow College is a constituent college of Durham University.[1] The college was founded in 2001 on the University's Queen's Campus in Stockton-on-Tees, before moving to Durham in 2018. The College takes its name from the nineteenth-century Yorkshire physician John Snow, one of the founders of modern epidemiology.[2]
The college is a fully self-catered college of the university, and is relatively new in comparison to other existing Durham undergraduate colleges.[1] Rooms in the college can be found in a mixture of flats and townhouses, with all rooms in flats being ensuite.[3] The college also has extensive leisure facilities including a large dining and entertainment hall, a gym, a yoga and dance studio, a performance practice studio, and music rooms.[4] It is now located on the Mount Oswald site, which opened in 2020.[5]
