What students say about archaeology

Best aspects would definitely be the people and the location. By the beach but with safe and lively night life, which in my opinion is important for most undergrad students, also the welsh are lovely and friendly. It depends on the area but overall the city feels extremely safe which was important for me. Some of the buildings on the old campus (singleton) look a bit run-down especially when the sun isn't out so it might be worth them revamping some buildings to make certain parts look less depressing. But again thats only a few, and the walk to campus is lovely especially as theres a massive park/green space right next to campus, with a 2 minute detour taking you right to the beach. Can't say too much on the students' union because it looks good but i havent really engaged with it. They always have some sort of event going on but honestly i havent been to many, so maybe the events could be more engaging so more people including myself would go.

What students say about archaeology

Great location, lovely staff, diverse student body, lots of extras available to enhance your learning, employability and social life, e.g., free language courses, study skills, SU trips around Wales, etc. Some campus buildings are old and run down, and the gym can only be joined if you pay for the year upfront. I would say a lot of the societies are aimed at younger students, with socialising centred around alcohol. It's harder to find your place as a mature student!

The location is very well, the campus is good, but the toilets is not enough, specially, because we have a lot people inside and for some people need to wash feat to pray, the don't have the place. We need more toilets space.
