People
I love the student lifestyle and facilities throughout the campus
Great university by the beach
The university feels welcoming from the moment you walk in
Personally I like the location but I understand if other people find it isolating. The National Library of Wales being nearby is very convenient, and the Hugh Owen Library is well equipped and will purchase books on request. Also, Aberystwyth has a low cost of living compared to the rest of the country
Location and student experience
Less online, more in person


The campus environment has been really enjoyable.
The modules have been very interesting.
The new 2023 system has problems but the previous 2 years were very good. Easier to get what you wanted.
