Very good, always something going on each week
Amazing university, very good standards and highly recommend to others
Solid, brilliant that all societies are free and all lecturers and staff are very approachable
My time at Bangor university has been fun, interesting and (I’m not gonna lie) stressful. But it has made me tackle assignments in different ways, and made me believe in my work and in myself. I would highly recommend Bangor university if you like an environment where your teachers see you as a person and not just someone in a class.
Nice accommodation and facilities, social aspect on campus needs to be way improved
Free clubs and societies and any help if required mental or academic is given for free! Amazing courses also!
Living in halls for three years had shows how amazing the accommodation is. As well as this, I’ve taken full advantage of the free clubs and societies! It’s such an amazing place to study? Beautiful location and a great university
The support services are incredibly helpful and got me through tough times when I needed support
Not as good as it’s made out to be
Bangor uni is fantastic. The facilities are easily accessible to all, the career prospects and guidance is immense as the team are more than willing to help in any way they possibly can. The halls accommodation is a good quality and the sizes are generous. Clubs and societies are free to attend and range far and wide across various disciplines. It’s also really easy to create a new society too. The academic departments are high quality and the staff are so so helpful and lovely.
Absolutely amazing Uni had an amazing time here
I love this university, I appreciate the support given rather it be personal or academic related. Just knowing that there are individuals within the university that offer support for anything makes me feel very well assured and not alone. This university provides many opportunities for one to grow, an example would be the volunteering opportunities in which I am involved in many. I have acquired many interpersonal and valuable skills that I feel will make me stand out when putting in applications for a job, project or any work opportunity.
Great experience through the 3 years
Very supportive staff and all facilities needed within a walking distance. Dedicated lecturers across the board.
Idilic university & location. There is a huge course availability. Academic excellence in a fantastic location. Ideal for those who want to be amongst the best in their fields and love the outdoors & exploring. Theres also vibrant night life and two main disco clubs.
Great coastal location in north wales, between the isle of anglesey and the mountains of snowdonia rising over 1,000m right next. Brutal nature & university. Lecturers are amongst the best in their fields. You have all the facilities you could ever need whatever course you're on. Bangor town is small but has practically everything you could buy and 5 huge supermarkets on a town of under 20,000 habitants of which half are bangor university students! Pretty amazing.
They offer lots of support and the societies are very varied as well
The University has great sport facilities which fill all club/society requirements well. Just a beautiful and friendly place to study at. I have just really enjoyed my time here.
One of the best things about Bangor University is the wide variety of books available in the library as I’ve never struggled to find a relevant book to be able to do my work, also the societies are fantasric as there is everything for everyon, from sports to dog walking to even a tea time society. Also I always know where to find help as I get emailed for careers advice updates and I also know that my lecturers are always happy to help.
Its been great here the university is very supportive and theres lots to get involved in! Would recommend.
It’s been the best three years of my life!
As a marine biology student I firmly believe that attending Bangor university is one of the best options you can take to give you the best chance at making a career in the field for yourself. The lab facilities are superb, the teaching is excellent and geographically it is perfectly situated. Salt marshes, Rocky shores, Sandy shores and much more all within half an hour of the campus as well as the Menai straight. The other geography of Bangor that’s great is that virtually any extra curricular activity you want to do, be it climbing in the mountains of snowdonia or surfing the Irish Sea it’s all easy accessible to students.
Fantastic university with fantastic lecturers and a wide selection of courses to choose from!
Bangor University is amazing! I feel so at home here and everyone is so welcoming. The staff are always willing to help with any concerns and the teaching is great.
The university itself has limited social facilities for students but there are multiple pubs and two clubs in the area. However, the university has a good amount of academic resources available. The university is good for those who enjoy sports and the outdoors as there are multiple clubs available for these sorts of activities.
Very nice place to be for a student!
Great university with a great variety of facilities and courses to choose from
Great university. I’m in my first year and have had a great time so far. Knowledgable and passionate staff- always lots of help if needed.
The Best, supportive and kind lecturers in the Welsh School! Efficient library and beautiful building. Vast variety of societies and communities, many and constant job fairs, and lots of fun at the annual summer ball!
Amazing university but quite far from anything else. Very small town uni if that is what you’re looking for
Amazing people and the freshers was amazing for meeting everyone. Needs more clubs though
Bangor is everything I wanted a university to be
Bangor is a beautiful university and I have have really enjoyed studying here. The staff are so supportive and enthusiastic and have really helped me through my degree.
Bangor is an amazing place with tutors and lecturers who care about their subjects more than anything else. It’s a beautiful town full of character. It needs a lot more credit than it receives. You are cared about and looked after.
Amazing University. Couldn't have been better.
Bangor University is a great place to study! With Snowdonia on your door step and anglesey just across the bridge, there is something for everyone! The Halls of Residence accommodation is very nice and the on site gym (membership is included with halls fees) has fantastic facilities. Everything is very accessible and within easy walking distance, and there is also excellent train links to and from the city.
University is in a beautiful location, with lots of clubs, societies and activities. The University campus is good, and the Halls campuses are also excellent.
Bangor university has provided a really safe, helpful environment for me to study. Campus facilities are definitely adequate with 3 seperate libraries and plenty of space to study in quet areas. Theres a new, modern arts centre with lots of food outlets and a modern place to study too. Lecture rooms are sometimes too hot or too cold or theres too many students been paced in them. Uni computers are new and of really good quality, with printing prices reasonable too! As for gym, we have a state of the art gym to support all manner of societies. The careers advice service has been absolutely fantastic with an 'employability award' scheme to show your extra curricular efforts you do whilst studying. I'm proud to say that I'm a student at Bangor University.
Thought the place was amazing till I found out they were gonna get rid of my course and now it's making my worry about the quality of my course. Up until now my course has been amazing and it would be a shame to lose it!
Brilliant university, warm, welcoming and supportive. Loving the course! Beautiful scenery with the view of the mountains. It's sadly so underrated
Excellent facilities! Brilliant gym and everything within walking distance (if you like hills)
The accommodation is trash. Don't think about going into the older buildings because they are so disgusting. They are literally falling apart as we speak. You think the University cares about you? They don't. All they care about is making money. I'm currently being charged £354 for not handing in my key at the end of the year because I lost it, their reasoning for such a cost is because they are charging me £100 for the change of locks (which I understand) and £229.60 for an extra 14 days rent (which I do not understand), even though they closed the entire building and no one was living there and a £25 "admin fee" (what does this even mean?). My friend is being charged £200 because someone had put their own mattress in the kitchen to be binned and because she was the last person there she is getting fined. My boyfriend had to pay £150 in noise complaints even though he didn't do anything. The Uni is failing, they aren't getting enough students and so they fine their current students!
My tutor is one of the best people in the planet tbh , this uni will bend over backwards to support there students
The university if amazing. Buildings are so beautiful and the clubs and societies funded by the SU are amazing.
The WiFi is fast and there are plenty of options for food. I never see student union but the campus always has something to do
great university, plenty of clubs and societies to fill your spare time with and if you walk ten mins in any direction then you are in the countryside which is fantastic.
It's average! Beware that many things will be charged that means they will try and get as much money from you as possible!
Absolutely awful, the people were nice -- well the ones I met whilst on my course. However, the university it's self was beyond appalling. The student union did nothing. The support I'd asked for during my time was a waste of time as nothing came about it. It's a lovely place, except for some part but thats expected everywhere, there is nothing to really do... Most people in my year that I knew have left and gone somewhere else, and I think I'll cut my loses too. By the way it lies when it says the cheapest accommodation... And it fails at being a "city". Sorry. Not sorry. Abysmal.
Best part is the Clubs and Sportsteams. Everything is for free, you get all the kit you need it's just great!
As an international student, I'm actually completely appalled by this university. I find the facilities here to be very lack luster and inadequate in almost every aspect. They have a wide range of clubs and societies but the university does a horrible job at managing them and many of the sports teams aren't even worth joining because of absolutely horrible facilities and management. I don't even think this campus has a student union. If so, I know nothing about it. The wifi has been absolute trash since day one. I can't even connect my phone to the wifi for more than 5 minutes, and it is a modern miracle that I was able to connect my laptop long enough to type this review. The IT Service department takes far too long to respond to issues and even longer to fix the issues. In my opinion, the job they have done this semester is completely unacceptable and disgusting by most standards. You couldn't pay me enough money to come back to this university.
Campus is beautiful, commonly know as Hogwarts, main arts is where the 24 hour library is. The main lecture theatres are also there. The sports centre Calnofan Brailsford is a state of the art new facility which is very nice. There are loads of club's and societies which are all free to join, these range from a huge variety of sports club to board games society, zoology society, orchestra and many others. Students union is good, they organise lots of event for students. Careers service is excellent, the uni offers the Bangor Employability Award which looks great on CV's. The internet is usually good but occasionally temperamental in halls.
Bangor University has progressed over my time here, now offering excellent facilities. In particular, an amazing sports complex, which even though brand new, with lots of investment into, is still free for sports clubs to have free sessions in. All clubs and societies are free to join and be a member of, which encourages social interaction and does not limit activities or friendship groups or opportunities for your time in Bangor.
Absolutely brilliant location, there's a big choice of things to do every day even in a small town, the course is great, the facilities are brilliant, and it all feels very cosy and friendly.
Fantastic facilities - the new music practice rooms are great!
Brilliant uni, definitely chose the right place
Can't fault anything about the campus, there's a strong sense of a small community in each of the villages
Great university in an outstanding location. The fact it's not a big city may deter some people but it's perfect for me.
an absolutely fantastic university, i cant praise it highly enough. the only flaw is the iffy wifi / internet
Wouldn't choose anywhere else to study
Excellent university, great facilities, perfect location. Staff are very friendly. Job at the end. What more can you wish for?
Bangor boasts an array of free sports clubs and has won national awards for them. They are in constant contact with prospective employers and aim to help all those that need it
For a small university it really produces and presents itself and I'm glad I chose this university
Had a great experience at Bangor University. So many opportunities! I had an incredible three years, 100% recommend for all courses. Such a great place to study, great people, great staff, great atmosphere. Very glad I chose Bangor as my institute of education!
Great uni, close knit student community it'll be impossible not to make any friends
Best Uni you could ever go to, has everything and is in a good place with the best kind of clubs all around :)
Best university experience ever!
I've just finished first year and absolutely love Bangor University. The staff are very helpful, both in my school and around the university in general. My school are very helpful and are one of the best in the country being taught by world class lecturers and taking part in internationally recognised research. The location is amazing, you can climb Snowdon and goto the beach in the same day. Halls are nice, clean, modern, good quality. Wifi is good, sometimes slow but only during the evenings when everyone is using the internet to download/stream music, movies and TV which is understandable.
Awesome university. The lecturers are really good and the lectures themselves are interesting. Campus is spectacular, beside the straits. Really good
Bangor is a little bubble - it's a great uni - it's set in a gorgeous part of the world and in so so happy to be there
All round fantastic university. Brilliant attention to students, from academic to social life. University and local atmosphere is so well balanced and so very welcoming.
The staff make the university. They are caring and always reply quickly to emails or meetings. Feedback is vast and help is vast. The course is varied and interesting, with teaching to suit all tastes. I would definitely recommend this university to anyone. I always remember why I chose this university. I was told on an open day that any university can get a first degree out of A grade A level students but it takes something special to get a first degree from B/C A level students. They have lived up to this.
Had an amazing first year and can't wait to go back!
Great teaching on the whole, very friendly! Currently having new accommodation and arts building. My course was amazing with accreditation and excellent research project options for my course.
the best and most surprising year of my life, can believe the student community everything I could have wished for and more! Bring on the next two years!
Great experiences available, being a welsh student there is plenty offered to take part in or do with JMJ or the welsh society
It's beautiful, in a beautiful place and the staff and students are wonderful
Bangor university is a amazing place to study, not only is it in a beautiful location but the lecturers have a real passion for their subjects
Best place you could ever go to
Beautiful surroundings, can't go wrong when your uni looks like hogwarts!
The societies are fantastic and the fact they are all free makes it even better. Mostly a really nice atmosphere and I really enjoy my course. The opportunities for work experience are. Bit thin though
My time at Bangor university has been incredible, from the lectures to the people I have met, I couldn't of wished for a better university experience!
Having had the best three years f my life Bangor was a great university and an amazing Welsh halls and Welsh Society.
It's a nice place, but facilities need updating and there could be a better students union...
Bangor is a uni city! Literally a city full of students! You can bump into about 5 people you know just walking to the shops! This means it's such a nice experience of knowing everyone and now feeling lost! It's brilliant
The university is situated in beautiful surroundings and the staff and lecturers are always there to support us with anything!
Bangor is an incredible university, and I feel so privileged to have the opportunity to study there.
I have absolutely loved being at Bangor, so much so I don't want to leave and taking every chance I can to stay. I also met the most amazing people here including my boyfriend of 3 years. Bangor has changed my life for the better!
Amazing little university which is extremely friendly ! Course, facilities and location are fantastic. Would definitely recommend
So much help on offer to students on all topics of student life!
Best year of my life has just passed in Bangor uni, tried sonny things I've never tried before, and nearly all where free! Being a terrible stress head I had amazing support fromy tutor, and halls where very helpful when I decided to move in with people on my course, I'm itching to get back for second year!
Met amazing people done amazing things
Brilliant university lectures always willing to help, halls are lovely great town
I really enjoy completing my course with Bangor university. The staff are flexible and reallt supportive. the facilities are always improving and I have never struggled to find assistance when required
Bangor is amazing! Not much to do out the way of societies and internet which works rarely, but otherwise all around great place
Campus is brilliant, everything you need and more! Clubs and society's are free and there's something for everyone! Wifi is decent 95% of the time! IT inform us when wifi is going to go off or Uni sites will be down and how long for!
The university is amazing, has reviewed and been nominated for an abundance of reviews for it's quality of teaching, facilities and importantly; student satisfaction! I wasn't sure about living away to study and had just turned 18 so was very unsettled, but this is a very close-knit and homely uni! You are almost forced to make friends as there are so many similar people around the 'city' is dominated by students! There is a huge focus on students, and tuition fees are well spend and put back into things beneficial ti students like free language courses and stable services and new facilities. Don't be out of by it being in Wales, students from other parts of the UK/ world will not feel left out as the culture is so diverse and the Welsh culture isn't dominant there. Hardly anyone speaks the language and everyone is made welcome!
Not a great deal of facilities. The residential campus is nice and clean. The internet spans the whole of the city but is relatively weak and slow at times. The Students Union is unique in that it hardly even exists. The main university staff are good, staff in my particular school are excellent. There is a wide range of clubs and societies, although they are free to join some require payment to participate (Snow sports for example). There is not a lot to do if you are bored and want to do something, the nightclubs are average but there is a wide range of bars, some of which are a little weird but there are a couple of good ones.
An excellent university that I would recommend to everyone
Best university in the UK, friendly atmosphere and everyone is kind and helpful.
Bangor University
Small but friendly atmosphere Supportive and caring staff Wide range of clubs Excellent training facilities Amazing views and setting
Cons?
Very hilly
Weather isn't the greatest
