On arrival, the induction process was very easy and quite quick with signage and clear instructions. Overall the area is very friendly and the environment feels safe and welcoming. Lessons so far have been great for the most part, quite interactive, especially for first year which I expected to be a bit boring.
Best things - field work, location, some really interesting modules and lecture Worst things - poor structure and organisation within the university
since i live nearby i havent really taken the chance to experience the uni life properly so i cant really comment on that, though the experience of learning here is very good, alot of support if needed, huge library for everything you need, great place
Great facilities, friendly staff and passionate lecturers
Close to the mountain and the ocean! Clubs and societies should become free again
The scenery is tough to beat, always helps when studying and can see the sea/mountains. Not exactly a social hub so not as busy as your big city unis, but that works better for some.
The staff are fantastic but our Wrexham campus does not have much for us
I like staffs, tutors, support team because they are so kind warm :))
Great course - teaching is fantastic. Student life - very quiet, not much night life, not many things to do around the area. Great support for disability, and mental wellbeing.
The worst is probably the accommodations. The best is the views
Everything at the university is great and there is nothing in here I think needs changes at the moment.
At Bangor University, studying feels like being part of a big family. All the staff are lovely and deeply care about their students, which made it easy to feel welcome and settle in. There is always something going on here and in the area as well, so you have lots of opportunities to explore and connect with new people.
Bangor is an amazing place to study for many reasons. This includes the location, as it is loacted in between the Snowdon Mountains and the coast. The facilities are amazing, as we have a large variety of stuff that other uni's dont. The courses are great and very flexible in the first year, which is helpful. The uni provides opportunities such as peer guiding, which I love. What I think makes the uni so great to study at is the lectures; they are so helpful and passionate and put your best interest forward, helping you develop as a person. Especially personal tutors and dissertation supervisors. There is nothing I can think of for improving the university itself, but on the grounds of university experience, the only bad aspect is the town of Bangor. There isn't much there at all anymore. There is nothing really to do, especially as it is essentially a student-dominated town.
The best aspect is the excellent teaching team, who are always willing to help. The campus library is also a great place for study, with a large amount of resources. However, the stability of the wireless network on campus needs to be improved. It would be even better if the cafeteria offered more diverse food choices.
The location is amazing and all the lecturers I’ve had are very engaging and enthusiastic. I’m enjoying everything, at the moment I can’t fault it
The student support is great in general, along with the course content itself, however support around assignments is lacking.
Not enough study spaces in all of the buildings very rare to find a seat or computer

The uni has many different aspects to love, from scenic views and amazing fieldtrips to provide in the field experience. To lecturers who are passionate about their subjects and sharing that knowledge. The Student Union also give students ample support both academic and social. Students are a major factor in helping the university run, from student ambassadors, mentors and peer guides. The downsides are often related to timetabling, often due to the sheer number of students, the School of Environment and Natural Sciences often have sporadic classes which are rarely timetabled for the same time each week. This irregularity often makes it hard for students to work around their students, which is usually essential in the current economic circumstance.
The worst is the location and the lack of student life The best is pontio and the library
