“Amazing place to study”
Sarah T
United Kingdom, Undergraduate
Literature, 2016
OverallI had the most amazing three years in Aberystwyth. The department are incredibly helpful. The degree comprises of a variety of different periods of literature, including many optional modules for you to choose from. The town itself is lively, despite its small size and absolutely stunning. There is always something to do. I loved the community spirit which exists in Aber, I felt it no where else, the abundance of extra-curricular activities means there is always something to get involved in. Who doesn't want to chill on the beach with a bonfire or ice-cream?

If you are looking for a place with exciting nightlife, that's not it. If you want to be in a beautiful quiet place with good professors and with a nice student life then this is it.

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!
