We are Castle Ripped Off, advocating for cheaper rents and greater transparency from University College and Durham University

This is, unfortunately, completely unsurprising. The environment at Durham is hostile to local students and allows the continual perpetuation of classism with little consequence for those who perpetuate it.

House viewings right now present a serious health risk, not only to students but the wider population of Durham. This is why it is paramount students have the Right to Refuse these viewings and why we have been pushing estate agents to allow this. https://t.co/QMTZCqtiBv

I have recently conducted an investigation into the way Northern students at Durham Uni are treated. It makes for shocking reading. Here’s a summary of my findings 👇

Join us on Thursday when we're going to join other students from across the North East to discuss the situation we are all in, where unis are putting profit before health, and begin organising with ACORN! Come and talk about how we can all take action to change what we see!

2/2 @durham_uni must take rigorous action to eliminate students responsible for the perpetuation of these dangerous classist & sexist attitudes. We must work harder to ensure the safety and security of students in Durham, whatever their financial background.

1/2 It’s well known that Durham can be a toxic environment for minority groups, and the recent evidence on Overheard has shown how dangerous and alienating Durham can be, particularly for female working class students, when attitudes like these are left unchecked.

We've put together a moving in checklist to help you move in, protect your rights, and protect yourself in the future!!
