One of the things I love about my University is the accessibility of different resources and how you can get everything you need within a 10 to 20-minute walk. While it does rain quite often, I also love the climate and the landscape especially in my accommodation, which overlooks a cute little golf course. One of the things I am not very fond of, personally is the fact that the weather can make me feel low and depressed easily which has been a common occurrence, but that too is not so much a University thing as it is personal and geographical. To be frank, I do not have much to complain, if at all, about my time here in Bangor University.

Law LLM

The free access to Law data basses , teaching method, smooth environment, helpful teachers and cooperative staff members specially friendly library staff makes it attractive. However, student administration section feel exhaustive to answer quarries of freshly arrived international students. I believe if there is a information desk at the administration section so, it will be very helpful. I also suggest that photo copies for the international students should be provided free as they are far from their homes and manage their budget for studies.
