1,688 Aberystwyth University reviews

We were all left to get on with this by finding work experience to increase employability with little to no guidance or help due to lecturers never being in their offices or responding to emails

We had one lecturer who taught us about infant psychology who was fantastic but the rest of the lecturers were bored, disengaged and constantly unavailable to meet with and receive help from. Dissertation tutors also were the wrong tutors for the subjects the majority of my peers and myself were writing about so little to no help was received there

Useless and unhelpful. Referred me back to the universities policies and procedures

They are okay as far as facilities go

It's a small town full of students and heroin addicts with little shops and stormy weather most of the time.

They are okay

Absolutely dreadful. When they have done something wrong they manage to find a way to group together and twist the blame to make it seem like the student was just lazy. My academic appeals response was completely irrelevant to my appeal showing that it had not even been read or properly addressed.

I feel like the university gives you good lab skills but in terms of jobs, it does limit you possibilities because of the limited modules.

Some lecturers are good at keeping students engaged and some completely overflow you with un-needed information and bore you to death with their lecture content and personality. I do not enjoy majority of my lectures as most of it feels like a repeat of previous years, which is annoying when paying 9k a year.

student union events are boring and not much is put on after freshers. you get the odd events like clothing and poster sales. I don't really get involved as there's nothing much to do, only good thing is its opposite the library so you can go get coffee while studying. the bar/food is nice also

The accommodation is very good and reasonably priced compared to others if you're looking for a more modern living style. I lived in fferm Penglais and fferm studio both are very nice looking and come with a double bed! however, cheaper accommodation only comes with a singe bed and small living space which I think is unfair on students.

The uni has a free gym which I love but is very limited for workout space/machines and parking spaces. it also has large lab facilities, a 24 hour library with computers and noodle bar/Starbucks/bar on campus. it also has an arts centre where old and new films are shown for cheap, sometimes you get the odd good film but mainly appeals to an older audience. Also has shops near each accommodation, CK's (not university owned) and Y Sgubor.

Aberystwyth is BORING. Theres hardly anything to do here and barely any shops that appeal to a younger audience. The night life is good but a fair walk away from the university. Theres plenty of cafés and restaurants at reasonable prices and good chip shops. It does lack in the takeaway department as theres only a handful round here all equally as bad as each other. the massive downfall is McDonalds is very far away from the town about a half an hour walk and they don't deliver. Have a Morrisons (by McDonalds), Tesco, lidl and apparently building an Aldi somewhere. I wouldn't recommend living here as the beach is rubbish, its not even that nice in summer.

There are load of societies to join that reach out to everyones interest. the clubs are good but you have to go later for them to be interesting, if you join a society you'll get taken to all bars and clubs anyway. Pier Pressure is the best club by far, good music and always busy

Support is only offered when you tell them you want it. Not much information is passed around about support services. I don't like any of the academic tutors on my course and I would not go to them for support even though they are apparently 'nice'
