Undergraduate to Postgraduate Transition

After spending 4 years as part of the undergraduate community in Trevs, I already knew how welcoming and supportive the college was, but that doesn’t take away from the nerves when joining a new branch of college. The MCR certainly lived up to the high standards set by my experience in the JCR. I found the postgraduate community to be supportive, active, and diverse and the friendships I made over the course of my master’s year developed quickly. Despite living out of college I made sure to be an active member of the MCR and spent a large amount of my time outside of lectures in college, where I could both complete my academic work and socialise, as well as holding a position on the Exec which I would highly recommend. The opportunities offered by the college both socially and academically offer a really unique environment, and the people in the MCR are a close-knit group. Throughout my entire time in Durham, both at undergraduate and postgraduate level, Trevs has truly been a home away from home.
