* St John's College
*St Cuthbert's Society ; and
*St Chad's College The Bailey colleges are much older than most of the
Hill college s. They are usually thought of as being more traditional and all require the wearing of gowns at eithermatriculation ,JCR meetings or Formal meals, except the 'traditionally informal' St Cuthbert's Society. Two of the Bailey colleges,St Chad's College and St John's College, are independent self-governing colleges.There is a general rivalry between the
Hill college s and the Bailey colleges [http://www.durhamstudent.co.uk/colleges/] which culminates in the "Hill versus Bailey" rugby match, which groups theCollege of St Hild and St Bede within the Bailey colleges and Queen's Campus colleges with the Hill, although neither are generally considered to be part of the groupings.Popular Culture
