Student Profile

The best things about the University

The University is surrounded by nature and I call the nature element as “Therapy for Study” because it indeed is! That was the very first impression and still is until this very moment. Other best things that I personally feel and experienced is being able to meet and make friends with a lot of other students from many countries. It is exciting to hear not only different accents but also different cultures that we learn from each other here. Also, I truly appreciate the facilities the Uni offers such as the Sports Centre for numerous sports activities like gym, wall climbing, swimming, football and more.

Favourite thing about living in Aberystwyth

The locals are very friendly and warm. Also, the town is clean, well-organised and beautiful. Aberystwyth has a nice seafront for a walk, running, having hot drinks at the cafes and watching the sunset whilst looking at and listening to the seagulls.
