Welsh History postgraduate degrees in Wales

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.

The place is very small which is good because everything is in walking distance and you get a better sense of community while you study. The downside is that it is not as good as when I started in my first year of undergraduate, the student Union and its facilities have lost a lot of the charm that they had originally and its a shame that new students wont have as great of an experience that I had when I joined. Not only this but the town is definitely not as safe as it used to be when I first moved and that is very apparent but that isnt paticularly something that the university can fix.

The campus has a nice feel to it with areas of greenery despite being in the city centre. The location is great being close to town- it’s easy to pop into town after lectures for anything I might need. I also do appreciate the small cafe that my building has, it’s great for grabbing lunch in between lectures. I do feel as though the uni is lacking in support for students- as a first year I don’t know who I can speak to about certain aspects of uni life. I do also feel as though study spaces could be updated in the Bute library (the library closest to my building) as this is where I would study more often if this happened. The main libraries are across the other side of campus and don’t make sense to go to when doing work in between lectures. Also, because of where I live and where my building for lectures is situated I rarely pass through that side of campus.
