Personal comments
Halls of residence are oki but try to get private accommodation. Not only is it cheaper but it is also far better in terms of location, price etc.

Personal social experience
Personal comments
Most international students visit the Bay and Rummers. If you are 18 years old and its your first time away from home, then go to the Glen or Pier Pressure... There are so many good place - one can always find a spot which suits you. The social life in Aber is pervasive. It matches any greek island any day!
