I absolutely loved first year in Bangor, it was so much fun. I made so many amazing friends and even got to go to Cardiff with St. John’s on a first aid duty which was an amazing opportunity. Bangor is a nice small city so that made adjusting to living away from home a lot easier. I enjoyed my lectures a lot, and was excited to be learning Chinese. Being at university I feel like has helped me grow in confidence and more so because the uni is quite small, and I often find myself now stepping out of my comfort zone. I’m now in second year and I’m still loving university and the experience. The lectures are still just as enjoyable as last year. And I’m currently planning my year abroad, which is very exciting and I’ve been getting a lot of help and support with this through the university. Overall i would say that my university experience so far has exceeded my expectations. I’ve gone from being the girl who didn’t want her mum to leave despite saying I wouldn’t get upset during the lead up to leaving. To being much more confident and out going thanks to the help of societies, friends and lecturers

There are several workshops and employability fairs at the university. Disability services also run ones specifically for people with disabilities and have talks about disability in the work place

My course is really fun, I love languages. However I feel like the Italian classes should be slightly more advanced. And Chinese really has no structure to the lesson. However that being said, all the lecturers are amazing and always ready to help

Our students uni is really good. I don’t get involved directly with the union because it’s not something I’d like to do however I get involved with societies

Enjoyed Halls a lot more in first year, I got on a lot better with flat mates. Few issues with kitchen hygiene however this is due to certain people with in my flat leaving raw seafood and meat out for several days at a time. The cleaner does a really thorough job of cleaning the kitchen once a week. The accommodation it’s self is really good. Good onsite facilities. I have a disability and my room is fully equipped to support that.

There are many facilities at Bangor University, all are well equipped. The language lab has recently been refurbished and is much better now

It’s a small city so you can’t really go anywhere with out seeing someone you know, despite its size Bangor has lots of shops and there is always plenty to do. It has beautiful scenery

The clubs and societies are really good, very inclusive. We have a society that links us with St. John’s ambulance and we get first aid training and go out on duty as well which is amazing

Very good. Lots of support offered in all areas

My experience at Bangor University has been one that I'll never forget. With Clubs and Societies being free I have joined so many over my four years here and have made so many friends and amazing memories. The teaching staff in the School of Modern Languages have been second to none. The make a real effort to get to know everyone and adapt their style of teaching to carter for individual needs
