The student's union is good for size of uni but facilities are poor.
I'm finding it fun here, particularly my course. The students union do good things and the clubs and societies are not bad although I haven't joined very many. I like the fact that my accommodation is neat and there is helpful support provided at the university such as counselling etc.
Worth choosing this university, the university course provides opportunities to teach in a variety of sports and activities and also provides opportunities to undertake additional qualifications which will assist with job opportunities and further education once finnished
its small but a friendly place, Dedicated team and a wide range of courses, this uni offers a historical traditional atmosphere with a modern approach to teaching. close to coastal areas as well as city's. good facilities within the local community also.

I think the uni needs updating but the majority of staff are nice. My course is very hands on, however don't know what's happening sometimes. The accommodation is expensive for what it is but Carmathen has everything you need. There is lots of rehersal space, the building just needs updating. Even on an acting course we have good job prospect.
I rate Trinity St David 3 stars, only because the lectures are good! There are the best part of my course but rooms are not good. The accommodation is really bad, the local area is good when rugby is on. We don't have any performance clubs and the student's union is poor, we need a better one.

All the tutors on my course are in the industry and although acting is hard for getting a job, the course gives us a lot of contacts. The town is good for food or cinema however accommodation is more expensive than in the town, for less that you get there, but still affordable and close.
Excellent course and tutors. The campus is lovely and unique. There is a real family atmosphere at this university; I am on Carmarthen campus. Facilities are good, online services are great and you are treated as an individual rather than just a number.
We are told the lecture presentations are put up on moodle so we dont have to scribble everything down off of the screen - some are never put up, and some are put up weeks after the lecture. The library layout is horrible, everything is dotted all over the place and books are never where the computer says it is. 3 hour loans are ridiculous!! Some days there are lectures where the lecture is only 1 hour long - NOT GOOD FOR STUDENTS WHO LIVE OUTSIDE OF THE UNIVERSITY!! We get our feedback and grades AFTER the 4 weeks that we are meant to have it back in!! Some lecturers are selfish, dont want to help, dont understand disabilities and not willing to learn about them!! Students with social anxiety (which is classed as a mental health issue) has to do oral presentations and there are no alternatives!! If you dont do it, then you fail not only that assignment but you fail the module and fail the year and getting a degree!! Student services produce a SCM form for students with disabilities, and saying what they would like to get for the student...for example, 4 week extension on essays and written alternatives to exams etc....the department then have to sign that to agree to those terms...they do sign these forms however they try to back out of what they have agreed to at a later date!! The cafe that is located on campus closes at 4.30pm which is ridiculous as lecturers go on until 6.15pm!!! Internet is terrible and forever having problems with it!! Rooms are too hot and end up opening the windows as there isnt a way to turn off the heating in certain rooms!! Some lecturers dont email back asking for help!! If some lectures are cancelled, most lecturers tell us about 30mins before the lecture starts...again not good for those who have to travel in as we are already on our way by then!! The only good thing I can honestly say about this university, is that its pretty!! They spend more on flowers and making it look nice, than what is spent on books, equipment and decent lecturers!! 1 module last semester, had NO lectures!! I might aswell be doing a online course, atleast you get more help there and dont get discriminated against!! Not a happy bunny, I wish I never came to this university and I dont recommend it to others!!
It's been great fun here. It's why I'm doing my postgrad here! The biggest lure is the people; Lampeter Campus (I can't speak for Carmarthen) is incredibly accepting, regardless of gender, sexuality, race, religion, politics, interests etc... While it felt like the Uni management prioritised profit over students, the SU was more than ready to stand up for us. The course itself is incredible, I reccomend anyone who is coming here to do Classical Studies and Ancient History. No, I don't care that you want to do Islamic Studies. You're in the School of Classics now, kiddo.
I am having a very good time here at trinity everyone is amazingly friendly and i really do feel that i am developing in terms of my skill level in my subject. Nightlife is really fun and if you want anything bigger swansea is just a train journey away.
I love it here! I've made so many friends and had the chance to completely change my life by coming here. The grounds are beautiful, whichever campus you go to. I study on the carmarthen campus and I just adore the way it's in the quieter part of the country but you're also in a busy town with a ton going on. There's so many chain stores you can visit and so many things you can do, while avoiding the busy city life.
Making the decision to study at UWTSD was the best thing I ever did, The campuses are all small enough that there is a real sense of community, you get to know everyone and the lecturers and support staff will go above and beyond to make sure you have a great time here. There are loads of opportunities to enhance skills and I have really developed as a person as a result of being given the chance to be involved in representation, clubs, societies and events. There are little bits that could be improved on but that is the same wherever you go and I think that the unique elements of UWTSD far outweigh the niggly bits. Friendly, supportive, fun, and absolutely beautiful.
I absolutely love my university. I study Psychology on the Carmarthen campus, and it has been the best decision of my life. It's located in South West Wales, which is awesome, because it's in a semi rural location with a bustling town. Carmarthen has everything I need, from shops to cinemas and an awesome local community. I feel I've grown so much since coming here, the campus is just so beautiful and there are so many opportunists to get involved in a safe environment which has really helped me enhance my CV and confidence. Before coming to UWTSD I was never that confident walking into job interviews, but thanks the guidance of the staff and even friends here, I feel I have so much more to offer than I realized. It's honestly changed my life. My course is so interesting, and the lecturers are really friendly and approachable. They are always making sure I'm achieving the best that I can, and they're always there to help. Our class sizes are small, so it's easy to get to know your lecturers really well, which really helps you to succeed because they're so invested in you. I've had so much guidance and help from them, I can't imagine a better experience.
