ABERYSTWYTH UNIVERSITY
Overall Rating

Had a lot of fun and felt comfortable and safe. Lecturing of fairly poor quality and struggled to engage with the course despite it being something I'm passionate about. It has been life changing as someone who was initially very socially shy, and that's a story I've seen over and over again here. You wont find a university where you'll feel more comfortable, safe, and at home.

Student Union

Nice enough shop and bar. Night time events poor, and since it is so isolated from any other bars tends to be very infrequently visited by anyone other than during freshers week.

Clubs and Societies

Wide range of clubs and societies with many enthusiastic members. Sometimes could be run better, and sometimes emphasises alcohol consumption over the actual activity a bit too much. Generally good though.

Accommodation

Good quality, felt very comfortable and safe. Quite expensive compared to town, but not unreasonable.

Uni Facilities

Everything you could reasonably ask for. Nothing spectacular, but a solid library and computer rooms and lecture halls perfectly decent. Sporting facilities likewise everything you'd expect. Nothing state of the art, but everything you could really need.

Course and Lecturers

Un-engaging lecturers, course content moderately relevant. Always struggled to enjoy or feel involved in the course despite loving the underlying subject. Being put on Llanbadarn campus on the other side of town after 1st year didn't help motivation to attend lectures.

City Life

Perfect for anyone who doesn't want to live in a big city. Lively enough to be fun but not big enough to be overwhelming. At all times has an extremely safe feel to the place.

Job Prospects

Should land me something, but nothing especially well paid and no chance of getting anything serious in London

Student Support

There if required. Not the best quality support but not the worst.

Having said what you have said would you recommend your uni?

Yes
