In all honesty, the “student life” is a painfully awkward experience, and having the official honour of being the most awkward individual on planet earth, it doesn’t help much ;-; The campus itself is alright, pretty standard, you’ve got your flats, bar/cafe’s and shops; nothing really too special, though both sites are very pretty in their own right, especially in the warmer weathers. The city itself is pretty decent, not an awful lot to do besides drinking and feeling sorry for yourself, everything else requires a somewhat lengthy travel outside of the city’s bounds. Most shops are quite cheap so the staying a not dead person factor is quite doable, the amount of hills make for decent exercise, quite a few people are friendly, the professors are great, some write really passive aggressive emails when you don’t get workshop pieces submitted within the one day deadline you were given (through email) so there could be some better organisation there I suppose. The societies are pretty great, they can be a good laugh, the only problem is that I don’t think there’s really enough innovative ones. Petition for a cardboard box Jawa sandcrawler society is what I’m basically saying. Being woken up at like 3 in the morning due to a fire drill will always not be fun, I will issue a bounty on whoever is responsible if it happens again, tripped over my own Jean pant rips last time it happened. Peacocks are really annoying honestly but I suppose you get used to them, yeah that’s basically it really.

Really beautiful place, good range of courses, good lectures l, please give me 2 grand

The city is not in itself a very beautiful one, but the university buildings make up for that! They are gorgeous and there is a good combination between the historic part and the modern equipments needed for teaching. The only down side might be the tables attached to the chairs which, quite often, are broken and do not stand. As I come from a French university, where student union does not really exist or is not as involved in our lives, the one in Bangor seems great. Same with the student life animated by numerous clubs and societies. Regarding the location, Bangor is a far from big cities and the various hills and a bit difficult to get used to in the beginning, but the area remains pleasant to live in, especially with the sea touching the city.

Well there are no any worst aspects because the university is 100 year old university with plenty of course . Different cultural person study together as well as all faculty is so supportive . If i talk about location its look like harry potter castle . I felt like i am living with nature.

As an international student it’s a great place to study because there are many other international students as well. You will never be alone in a foreign country! The lecturers are the best in here. We can always reach out to them if we have any sort of a problem and they are always willing to help. Bangor University has many international students and there are many Asian students studying here as well. I was quite disappointed to see that there are no bidet showers fixed near the toilets. It’s not easy for someone to get rid of certain habits they have been practicing ever since little kids. Having no bidet showers in University accommodation rooms have made me and other international students very uncomfortable. So I believe this is a certain area where the university could improve. I mean international students pay a lot for their studies and accommodation in the UK, we at least deserve a bidet for the toilet!

It’s a great place, the city is full of students , loads of societies to take part in.

The UK is the ultimate destination of your Higher Education study. If you are dreaming of doing something big and achieve success in life, Academic education is the door to going through it. Absent of good Higher Education can ruin your purpose of life. Before you get yourself in Higher Education you must choose the best place to study. Prestigious Opportunity of Studying. High-quality Education. Great job opportunities. Exchange your culture through Study in the UK. Great place to live and study.

Best - location, so close to the beaches! Also the student support across postgraduate study in the School of Human and Behavioural Sciences. And the fact all clubs and societies are free. Worst - Only two nightclubs

I could say that I'm living a dream right now at Bangor. I've read a lot of English storybooks in my childhood and my experience here is equivalent to those childhood dreams coming true. Bangor is beautiful not just the place but my entire experience here as a student has been the same. The facilities provided by the university to the students and the freedom to experience and enjoy the time I spend here is one of the main reasons I love studying at Bangor. I am not forced to become someone, I can be myself and figure out things on my own. Bangor is definitely a holistic learning centre where I don't just learn about the subject but also learn how to use what I learned in my life. Improvement areas: Being an international student I feel that the student support services provided for international students, especially with regards to the educational system and study structure could be enhanced to provide an equivalent experience to the newcomers. People like myself, who are experiencing a different educational culture for the first time need to be provided with better support rather than expecting them to fall in line in accordance with colleagues or fellow students.

The best part is the area, such a lovely place to stud but Many rooms are outdated and the chairs are not comfortable with tiny side tables which aren’t ideal for note taking
