St Cuthbert's Society, commonly known as Cuth's, is a college of the University of Durham in England. It was founded in 1888 to cater for non-resident students. St Cuthbert's was the third college to be founded, following University and Hatfield College. It is one of the 'Bailey' colleges, located on Durham's "peninsula". Today, St Cuthbert's Society retains a degree of semi-autonomy. It is the only 'society', rather than college, within the university. The president remains a student, rather than a member of the SCR.
The Society owns accommodation across Durham, but most central facilities are provided at its main site on South Bailey. Notable among these is the bar, which is the only Durham college bar to have regular daytime as well as evening opening.
