very enjoyable, Aberystwyth is a great place to live my department is very on-the-ball

I already had an career lined up, but coming here has certainly improved my chances

our tutors give us free reign, they will call us if needed or at request

student representation could be better also, they're too cheap to invest in toilet seats

its got everything I need could do with more at old college though

surprisingly vibrant for a seaside town

academics feedback quick and useful, have heard negative stories about MH services

This university is something special. You can either spend the time with your friends or spend some time, getting to know yourself better. That’s what I did in the first year and then decided to spend an amazing semester abroad, being selected to go to Turkey. This university and this place has been teaching me a lot of academic topics but also how the life works. It was really spontaneous decision for me to come here. However, I do not regret any second here. Get out of your comfort zone and start deciding about your future now!

We have a lot of opportunities as students . From Erasmus exchanges, through Year in Abroad scheme, to industrial years in some courses. We have so called AberWork that helps to provide part time job for students, flexible to their schedules. A lot of experts help us what to do after studies with out degree and how to improve our experience and gain experience in certain areas.

The best thing about the courses are the people. The professors have a lot of experience In their fields and are professionals. Also the studies are divided between lectures, seminars and workshops, which gives you full university experience. What I like the least is the small number of hours throughout the week. It’s an individual thing but I would prefer having more classes.

Students Union works really smoothly. I am a communication manager in one of the societies, but it’s not my role to communicate with them. They provide a lot of support for Clubs and societies and are really kind and polite. There is even opportunity to rent a van from them, which makes it even more supportive.

Accommodation is great and modern. It is really clean and has a lot of space. Aberystwyth Fferm Penglais accommodation is worth its price. It is really close to the university and close to the market. If that was about accommodation, I think Aberystwyth’s one is one of the best in the entire United Kingdom. We have our rooms en suite and shared kitchen. 24-7 support and insurance as well as free Sports Center membership. I love it!

The university facilities might seem old from outside but are really renovated and modern inside. New part of the library has just been finished and every student can feel there like at home. There are many clean and good equipped places to study, silent or louder places, but every student can find a place for himself. Either it is an assignment to write or a group work presentation.

Aberystwyth is full of students and really colourful when it comes to the city life. It has the highest amount of bars and pubs in the entire UK and it has also some good restaurants or take away food. It is a great place to have a birthday party as well as to eat a fancy dinner or lunch. The fact that mostly the town is populated by students, makes it more easygoing and less problematic when it comes to huge parties in private properties.

There are many clubs and societies around the town. From sports to debates, politics, skiing, including Erasmus, Italian or German societies. You will find a place you belong to without any problems. Can’t find any? Take your friends and create your own! As simple as that!

Tutors are really supportive. You can go to them with everything and they will always provide some help. They know our needs and concerns and are really helpful in every single situation.
