- I chose Bangor University because it has the largest psychology department in all of UK independent of the British Psychological Society. It is also the oldest university to give out joint honours degree with psychology which made me trust their course more than other universities. The university also was very helpful throughout my entire application process. I also was very drawn to the location of the university which was in a quiet city in North Wales, away from the metropolitan pace of other more popular cities in the UK.
- I loved the peace and quiet of the location of the University - I had forgotten the sound of traffic in those three years. Our lecturers would recommend places we could go to for wellbeing walks and to destress during exam season. There was academic support available throughout the year for additional help for our assignments and exam preparation. I would not recommend Bangor to someone that thrives in a fast-paced life with a lot of social stimulation but if you are looking for a quiet place away from everything then Bangor is your place to go - it is surrounded by mountains on one side and the sea on the other!
Dislikes
- After moving from India, I initially disliked how few people lived in the city or how it was not as busy as a metropolitan city, but I eventually grew to like it. It is far from London, Manchester and Cardiff and it takes atleast two hours to get to them but there are regular trains and the university has student pick-up services during the intake season from the major airports that students can avail.
Campus Life
The university has lots of clubs and societies that students can join for free, the libraries and communal workspaces have 24 hour access. Gym memberships are included in rent if you live on campus. There is wifi available on all university buildings and accommodation sites. There are research facilities that students can get involved in either by participating in research, or working as an assistant in them.
Accommodation
The university has two accommodation sites with gyms, on site shops and cafe/ restaurants, parking and round the clock pastoral support. My rent in 2018-2020 was around 550 GBP per month inclusive of all bills, wifi, on-site gym membership and parking. I worked as a residential mentor in my final year which gave me free accommodation for that year of the course.
Accommodation
Ranked Top-15 in the UK for Student Accommodation (WhatUni Student Choice Awards 2020), they are one of the best accommodations provided. There is guaranteed accommodation for international students. There are three different sites that they can choose from. different types of room options are available to choose from like; studios, en-suite, shared etc. The fees varies from the kind of accommodation opted for.
I was very keen on pursuing a college that is a strong school of Psychology. Bangor University is one of the top universities in the UK that has a great department of Psychology. Also, keeping in mind the financial aspect, not being a university in London, it got down my living expenditure by an average of 30%. And Wales is beautiful. For anyone who is a lover of nature, this is the place to be in.
Very highly ranked against other universities for my subject with a lower entry grade. Outside of a major city which I wanted, living most of your life in London is a real pain and I needed a getaway.
