What students say about physical-geography

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.

What students say about physical-geography

I don't really engage with the SU or Student support so can't judge them effectively. Parts of Singleton campus look run down, but Bay campus is brand new and looks great. Swansea has a great student life and its location gives you loads to do, like explore the gower and spend time on the beach when the weather permits.

What students say about physical-geography

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!

What students say about physical-geography

The university has a wide range of buildings and very good resources in the SU. However the gym is slightly small and could do with better facilities both in the gym and sports village. It has a good amount of green space on campus and areas to relax however sometimes opening hours could be better or the amount of food cafes / shops.
