What students say about marine-biology

For someone who has to live for the first time away from their family, that too in a new country. Bangor really welcomed me with open arms. From International Student Staff to the fraternity, everyone is so sweet and helpful. I love that they make you feel at home. Even if you’ve the slightest doubt , they are there to help you with it. I’m happy that I’m surrounded by such great people.

Library hours were recently changed from 24 hours to 8-12 this feels disruptive to studies for those busy during the day The area is beautiful and lecturers are all really friendly and supportive, lots of wonderful things to do in the area

What students say about marine-biology

The SU and student life were probably the weakest parts of my university experience, but this is likely in part due to the small size of Aberystwyth. There were a range of societies but many stopped and restarted at various points. The campus has a great atmosphere and is just the right size!
