Your First Week in Durham - Collingwood College Induction Week
We have put together a schedule of College and University activities to help you plan your week. This will be updated as more events are confirmed.
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 in to college life here at Collingwood.
Below is just an outline of your Freshers’ Week… there are plenty of surprises in store so please do make sure that you've joined the Collingwood College Freshers 2014/15 Facebook group to get all the latest information from the Collingwood Fresher Reps.
All international students are expected to arrive on Wednesday 24th September and all home students must arrive on Sunday 28th September.
Events marked with * are central university events. All others are arranged by Collingwood College and are only open to Collingwood students.
Your Fresher Rep team (freps) are organing some fantastically, fun-filled events and activities for throughout the week. These will be revealed on the run-up to Fresher's Week on the Collingwood College 2014-15 Facebook page in the coming weeks.
