Bangor University Reviews and Ratings: Student Reviews, Campus Reviews, Faculty Reviews

I would describe my experience at Bangor University as life-changing. I grew up and became a functioning adult in those three years. I remember restarting my university journey at 19 as being slightly out of touch with how the world worked after having grown up in a family that took care of everything for me till the day I left the country. I learned how to make a bank account, manage my finances, adapt to an unfamiliar land with unfamiliar people, make food that nourished me, make friends who did not have the same cultural background, and take care of myself in those years. I walked out at 21 years of age a lot more grounded and in tune with the world around me and that was all because Bangor University had given me the chance to learn and grow despite the initial trip-up. The staff, both academic and non-academic, were very patient and the local people in the city were very warm in those cold temperatures. I remember questioning whether I had made the right decision of leaving everything behind after my first week in my first year in 2018, and nearly five and a half years later being forever grateful to my younger self for choosing Bangor, a place I still call home and visit at least once a year, and I think that says everything about my overall experience at my university.

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.
