Aberystwyth is quite far from everything in Great Britain,so if you like to travel be ready to have an added difficulty:the distance from the other cities or places of England. Anyway the place is beautyful,especially for the presence of the sea.So if you are lucky to get an accomodation in the seafront halls,you will spend a great time there.

If you are not fixed on studying in a big town and appreciate nature-the sea and the mountains, as Aberystwyth is a coastal town, you will really like it!Social life is excellent and it's fun to take part as you get to go around the UK.

Best way to get there is to fly to Manchester/Birmingham and then go on by train or National Express buses. Look on the homepage which is really good and stuffed with information-www.aber.ac.uk.

Amazing place to study

Overall
I 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.

Good place to have fun and experience real campus life. Very good reputation for international politics a bit too isolated from the rest of the world, the rail link to Birmingham sucks

Overall
I have been in Aberystwyth studying for nearly two years and I have yet to personally find a fault. The lecturers with whom I have had the pleasure to be taught by have been engaging and seem to truly enjoy talking about the subject they are teaching. Moreover, while the town itself may seem like a small picturesque seaside place that you expect to find on the Welsh coastline, it is so much more behind the scenes - I am still discovering new and beautiful places every day - eg "The Bluebell Woods".
