From the Wikipedia article
John Snow College is a constituent college of Durham University. 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. The college is a fully self-catered college of the university, and is relatively new in comparison to other existing Durham undergraduate colleges. Rooms in the college can be found in a mixture of flats and townhouses, with all rooms in flats being ensuite. 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. It is now located on the Mount Oswald site, which opened in 2020.
