The libraries are well equipped with books and modern computers, the lecture rooms are equipped with the most advanced technologies, and the lecturers are very knowledgeable.

I have enjoyed almost every aspect of my course and the lectures by the different tutors. I have also gained knowledge within the different modules that are part of my course.
What is your favourite thing about the campus? Have you been able to join any societies?
I have just joined the African Caribbean Society in Aberystwyth, to help create that connection or one family thing as students from Africa. My favourite thing about the campus is that it is a comfortable place to live as a student and focus on your studies. It is also a place that creates easy access to your classes or lectures and access to the library without delay.
What advice would you give someone considering studying at Aberystwyth University?
The advice I would give is that please do not hesitate to apply for Aberystwyth University, because it is one of the best universities in Wales where someone would want to be and to gain knowledge from excellent lecturers. It is a place worth being, and a place where you can expand your horizon and achieve your dreams in life.
