About Res. Life
BywydAberlife – has 4 core values that guide and define the work we do:
-
- Providing a Safe Environment
- Fostering a Community Sprit
- Staff and Student Engagement
- Staff and Student Wellbeing
Your Residence Assistants (RAs) are fellow students who are here to provide you with support and guidance, while aiming to create a positive living and learning environment and to foster a sense of community across the university. This may include guidance on resolving flat/house disputes, how to combat exam stress, information on events and activities around the area, or simply where to find the best cup of tea in Aber! If they can't help, they will signpost you to someone who can.
