As an international student, a Nigerian, there is never a place home away from home like Bangor University. I enjoyed every bit of my academic experience at Bangor. Expert tutors, who are very knowledgeable in their respective fields and who are always willing to support students. Wonderful and active students Union that is doing great things to better students experience and wonderful Welsh people who have never discriminated against me. I would always remember Bangor University with fond memories. I had several offers from other universities in the UK but I chose Bangor for obvious reasons. No regrets at all.

Bangor University is a good place if you want to take place in various activities. Not only the events happening in town but the societies do plan a fair amount of events to attend. The campus itself is lovely, it is kept clean and has an open/outside gym so you can even have a quick workout. I will highly encourage everyone to at least come here and have a tour to see the opportunities this place hold.
I love Bangor University, the student support is unmatched, the lecturers are amazing, research quality is excellent and the location is amazing. So much better than any big city uni!
Beautiful campus, beautiful area, lovely staff, good learning experience, good teaching facilities etc.

Pretty dang good. Very good societies. Surrounding area is amazing.
Bangor University is a great university and I feel so supported. There are great facilities to help me thrive in my degree and set me up for the future!
Surrounding of university what amazed me most.
Bangor university is an amazing and supporting university which has a range of features which makes it a top choice for many students!
Bangor university gives me all the facilities I need without being special, I am a busy healthcare student that doesn't need to interact much with the wider university however. I think the accomodation services could be organised better and could communicate better
My experience in Bangor has been brilliant situated in North Wales between Snowdonia national park and Anglesey it has been the perfect place to study natural science. With brilliant lecturers and perfect location I would recommend to anyone wanting to study about the environment.
Bangor university has a lot to offer and has great services with tutors and courses
Diverse university that has the best interest in student wellbeing. Lecture halls are impressive and WiFi is always available in the university buildings. Shops and amenities are also close and convenient.
An excellent university in social and academic aspects. There are plenty of facilities to make use of as a student, alongside several societies.
bangor uni is in such a nice place surrounded by views of mountains and the sea. most of the staff are so helpful and answer any questions you have. student union have started many cost of living things such as £2 meals - it’s great!
Bangor has been an inclusive uni that promotes studies alongside being an athlete.
Bangor is a brilliant place to chose as a university. The staff and help is always there if you need anything or have any problems! It’s placed in an ideal place surrounding shops such as food and everyday stuff. Everywhere is walkable and not far from each other and there is a lot of sociable clubs to make new friends and get to know a lot of different people. I’ve made the best decision going to bangor university I enjoy it so much to my course and the outside life as-well! I never want to leave
One of the best university in wales having supportive staff and located between hills and sea.
Fantastic University. Student services are very responsive, the mental health and disability services are quick to reply and point you to the right help.
Bangor University is ideal for those seeking a more quiet University experience. It is a small city surrounded by mountains and beaches and so is perfect for those who enjoy kayaking, mountain climbing or hiking. The halls accommodation is good value for money and there are supermarkets within walking distance. Clubs and societies are free.
I think the student opportunities are great and we couldn’t ask for much more.
This is my masters year (4th year) at Bangor and I can honestly say I am really sad to leave. From the social opportunities with the clubs and societies to the lecturers and campus, these have been the best four years of my life. It was an incredible experience and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.
Bangor University has excellent study spaces however the number of computers could be increased as it’s always really busy.
Very good University , thoroughly enjoying my experience here :)
Everything is pretty close together so you don’t waste loads of money on transport. It’s nice to live near the pier and several woodlands where you can go for a stroll if you’re having a bad day. Fairly short bus ride from Snowdonia, too. Great place if you prefer nature/the outdoors rather than big, bustling towns and cities.
Bangor is an amazing university with excellent facilities and a wonderful community of students and staff!
My experience at bangor has been the best, they have and continue to exceed my expectations, i couldnt have imagined a better experience at university
The university is provided with enough things to do. There’s enough facilities that are reliable and open every day. The university is well at communicating about any events for the month
Pleasant staff, most love to help with anything they can help with. The places are easy to find and there is a good map on the Bangor university website to show where everything is
I've had a great experience at Bangor university so far! The staff is amazing and I've met a lot of lecturers that are passionate about the subject and have great methods of teaching. There are a lot of studying spaces which was really helpful for me, especially before the exam period. There are a lot of resources to boost students’ employability, mental health resources, and study aids
Bangor University has helped me improve both my academic skills and my social skills throughout the three years of me being part of the university. I have always been able to access Wifi at any of the facilities on campus. The careers service enabled me to gain contacts in the field that I may have not necessarily been able to gain if I did not have the middle partner of the careers service to help me get in contact with people relevant to my career path. The student union goes above and beyond for the students at the university and I have definitely made the most of the many events they have organised and opportunities and support that has been gained due to them. I have been part of clubs and societies within the university and I have not had a bad experience. An amazing range of things to get involved in and found there to be something for everyone and being able to try anything, no matter of your skill level. The facilities have a good range. However, space can be limiting.
the university is lovely to work in it’s a friendly place and very good learning
The university itself has great support for students
Based in Wrexham, no issues with facilities but no student union or student feel to being based over here.
An amazing university to study at, plenty of clubs and societies to settle in with the university. Lots of information with friendly faces .
The university refuse to acknowledge the lack of study space and how it is insufficient for the size of the uni. The student union are good at providing a voice for the students but it’s difficult when the university refuse to listen. The career service is extremely helpful and a massively underused resource, could do more to promote itself and what it can do
Bangor is great for student support. Overall I would recommend this uni if you love sports and the countryside
Very good experience wonderful people and place
BangorU is the providing excellent academic and research training in the field of health sciences. The lecturers put in their best efforts to facilitate students academically
Great clubs and community. So much to get involved in, made lots of great friends through my club.
Bangor university is best place to study. Lectures are expert in their fields and with excellent teaching skills.
Great university, everyone is very friendly and helpful.
It's a good and quiet place to study
The uni are giving the best education and safety to me Also tutor and students are friendly so far it is great but the Wi-Fi need to improve more
Been a wonderful experience to be a Bangor student so far. Few more years to go.
Studying nursing at Bangor university
My experience with Bangor University has been a whirlwind. Having started during the decline of Covid, I was faced with having to attend lectures online to which I’ve never done before. It was an incredibly huge adapt but everyone was in the same position, so it seemed we were working it out together (lecturers included!). Doing Children’s nursing at Bangor but staying in the Wrexham Campus was great as it was within walking distance from my accommodation, utilising the unis facilities more towards the end of our degree which is a slight shame as we would have benefited from it much earlier. I enjoyed each placement thoroughly and only through Bangor I was able to attend Alder Hey Children’s Hospital for 7 weeks which was my favourite placement of all. Theory-wise, I do feel like the uni could do with more improvement on teaching strategies and organisation as there was a lot of miscommunication which became very frustrating for us as dependent students
It is a great university and provide best lectures and professors to students to achieve there goals
Free clubs and societies means I was able to enjoy many different sports, Canolfan Brailsford having excellent facilities and there being a swimming pool and gymnastics gym nearby. The career service lead me to getting a job in America next year. Bangor city is very affordable and walking distance to everything.
Love Bangor Uni. The lecturers are incredibly accessible, always ready to help. The town is breathtakingly beautiful. A little too small and insular for my taste, but it is safe and secure, especially if you have children. I adore the uni and I really value my time there. Bangor Business School.
The clubs and societies are what the uni is all about!
Great university, great location for thsi who like the outdoors and nature, so close to all of the natural beauty spots. Great experience with my course/languages. Very friendly staff. Uni in general seemed very forward thinking and very inclusive atmosphere. Great opportunities and scholarships available.
Nice environment and good research university.
Very good and a great university
Sorry I have not attended site for lectures as yet due to course being online, haven’t even met my cohort in person, very disappointing indeed. So am unable to comment on any of the above topics but would not let me make comment until I filled the fields in
excellent traching staff that deeply care about the success of thier students, and are passionate about their subjects and the best way to deliver the material
Very good uni to study at. Really friendly and helpful staff, great facilities and clubs.
I did my masters in Bangor University and I’m doing my PhD as well, I’m really happy where I am.
Valuable experience which I would not get anywhere else
Primary Education is a fantastic course to study at Bangor University. The course and teaching is excellent and it definitely prepares you for the career of being a teacher. Studying a very practical course with placements and a lot of contact hours however does take away from the 'student experience' as there is less time to take part in extra-curricular activities and nights out!
Bangor gave me the confidence and support to start up my own business. If you keep your eyes open for opportunities and say yes to experiences, you can get a lot out of coming here and have a lot of fun. There really is a nice community aspect too - I felt a part of the uni while I was here and met the best people I know. My lecturers were a bit hit or miss but some of them were really inspiring. All-in-all it's a great place to be as a creative.
Thoroughly enjoyed my time here in Bangor. The student union have been great and really creative with their ideas- definitely enjoyed the free roast dinners on a sunday!
I am thoroughly enjoying my time at Uni
Bangor University have particularly good resources - they helped me through GCSE and have helped me through my degree
Bangor university doing excellent in every aspect.
No issues. Is what you make of it. Generally good.
Good uni. Great selection of free clubs and societies
It’s a nice and relatively small university, good access with some great surrounding areas to explore.
the loveliest place to be 10/10
It's been difficult considering the circumstances, but the university has done its best to insure that we continue to learn and experience university life.
Overall great. The societies, albeit not running in person during the pandemic, provide support to students. WiFi is fast and easily accessible though there are some blank spots in the accommodation. Onsite security and Circuit laundry available 24/7.
An overall amazing uni. It’s sad I’ve only realised how incredible it was since doing a Masters at a Russell Group uni. Bangor may not be the best on the league tables but in terms of student support and overall enjoyment of uni life I cannot fault it. It’s also in the most beautiful location
Good wifi in all of the Uni buildings that I've been in. The students union has done their best with the current pandemic, so can't fault them for the events that have been put on, which have followed the rules and still engaged students at the uni. The clubs and societies are free, which makes it easy to join lots of them and make friends quickly in the first year.
My time at Bangor University was one I hold so close to my heart. I often desperately miss not just the uni but the whole place. Academic excellence is the the fairest and truest statement to associate with Bangor. The uni is second to none, is all aspects.
I had such an amazing time at Bangor, I felt that all the lecturers cared for me personally & were interested in the quality of my education. I would recommend Bangor to anyone, who cared about the standard of their education.
Best university ever. Most supportive staff, campus life team, employees. Location is stunning.
Really supportive & friendly university in a beautiful location. Loved being a part of clubs, societies and volunteering, which created lots of amassing memories and looks great on my CV.
Good University, located in a pretty place.
wifi flawless everywhere. students union very helpful with announcements nearly every week,
Grand for those who want the uni experience or those who want the piece of paper at the end, don't expect to learn
A wonderful place filled with supportive, fun and encouraging people. I get to be challenged and educated both in my lectures, through clubs/societies and navigating uni life.
Wonderful students union and societies , always listening to the students to make the next years better! The institution's courses are thorough and have good feedback systems through myBangor
Pros: Excellent Experience, especially Clubs and Societies. Great Pubs too. Cons: Not brilliant to travel to, clubbing scene is a bit thin.
I have had a great experience at Bangor Uni! The uni itself is great, I love my course (Sociology and Childhood studies), there are loads of great opportunities and the pastoral care and support is of a very high standard! Not much to complain about!
University hits well above its weight. Practically everything, especially the course (Law LLB), was better than expected!
A fantastic, all-rounded university situated in a prime location for aesthetics and outdoor activities. Student support and advice is easy to get through both student service facilities and the Students' Union. This is rounded off by a huge range of free clubs and societies, high quality research facilities and excellent staff.
Great facilities and opportunities.
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.
