Overall score

I have really enjoyed my time at Aberystwyth. There are no parts of aberystwyth uni I would change apart from a more up to date Penbryn Halls!

I would say to anyone wanting to go to Aberystwyth that you will have a great time at this seaside university and be part of a real close knit community.

Overall score

Generally a good uni. It's a nice place to live by the sea and be the countryside. there are very steep hills so be warned. There's a train station but you may find you have to wait over an hour at shrewsbury for some connections. A car is handy but parking is difficult in town. In general a good uni but quite far away and awquard to get to.

Study experience

Very demanding course, some parts were enjoyable and the activities and lectures were well organised. On some occasions this was the opposite and there was a lot of waiting around sometimes. The staff are very friendly and make time to help you even though they are very busy. My course included a placement which was demanding but I enjoyed the challenge & the experience.

Facilities

The library I used was very good and the staff were friendly and helpful a all times.

Postgraduate life

Not sure but the sports facilities are good, the gym was very modern one of the best I've been a member of.

Job prospects

The careers service were friendly and helpful. The course I did has improved my career prospects. There are opportunites for further study.

Overall score

Uni expands your horizons, it opens your mind up, it opens your network up, makes you more social, studious, interesting, more rounded as a person, more lovable, more capable of surviving an independent life when the bubble will burst.

Study experience

It is not just lectures; we do seminars which are a great way to engrave in your brain already gained knowledge and of course learn from liaising and team working. Be open in uni, critically assess before you reject.

Facilities

New equipment and machines were recently bought to substitute for the old ones. There are 24 hours open IT rooms for late assignments. The student union is nearby for a pint when that essay is not happening. Pool and drinks and friends can take your mind off work. As for keeping it healthy when you had too many drinks, the Sports Cage has full facilities, swimming pool, gym etc

Postgraduate life

There is the Societies Officer resident in the Student Union, poker societies and pink cancer relief societies etc. I have always been a member of the Law Society, pub crawlings and legal lectures are some of the things in the menu.

Job prospects

With the recession in the horizon things are getting more difficult but a good degree from a respected uni makes things a tad better. I will be doing a postgraduate degree to make my CV more employable.
