Bangor

The most amazing place ever, it has the best nights out, value for money here is great and shops are far and wide. There are also plenty of things to do here as well such as museums and great places to stay.

Although Bangor is a small city, it has a lot to offer. Everything is within close walking distance so you save a lot on transport. There are 2 popular nightclubs in Bangor; Academi, which is run by the student union, and Peep which is a general nightclub open to all the public. Academi has events on almost every night which have a great turnout. There are plenty of shops in Bangor, especially High Street which is full of them. There are a few supermarkets such as Asda, Tesco, Morrisons, Lidl and Aldi, all of which are within walking distance of the university's accommodations.

I love bangor as I love the outdoors, it’s right by the mountains and the beach so there is an adventure to be had every weekend, there is also a high street with most of the shops you would want whilst at university, and a pretty decent nightlife. There were many underground music events every month which is great for me

With its location being basically within the mountains it is perfect for students that enjoy nature and travelling. The only downside is it's lack of life and anything other than students

Bangor University is located in the most amazing city in the UK. Bangor is the smallest city, located right on the banks of the Menai Straights, and has a gorgeous backdrop of the mountains of Snowdonia. There are a wide variety of shops going down the sides of the longest high-street in the UK, and plenty of different places to eat, from comfy pubs, to noodles, and many small cafés. Although there are only two night clubs, everyone that visits them has the best nights out, and the clubs are accessible by foot within a few minutes from the city centre. As for entertainment, there is the Pontio centre opposite the city centre, where there are comedians, theatre shows, nights at the orchestra, the cinema and more! If that wasn't enough, it only takes a few pounds to hop on a train to Llaandudno Junction, where you can find a larger cinema, or to Llandudno itself, where there is a ski slope, pier, beach and a larger town centre with many high-street shops, and quaint sea-side holiday gift and sweet shops. I can safely say that when I accepted my offer to Bangor University, I had no idea exactly how much I would fall in love with the University and the city it thrives within.

Bangor is perfectly placed between the mountains and the sea. It's amazing for walking, climbing, diving, going to the beach and a billion other things.

It's a nice and peaceful place to be. The food is a tad bit more expensive than where my home town(Swansea) is but overall it's a student's dream location. All the shops are nearby as it's a small city. Plenty of things to do. Only request would be, it would be nice to have a full-fledged cinema.

The mountains, coast and forest are on your doorstep which is great for any adventurer. There are also very good transport links

Bangor is a great place to be a student, it's a really safe community that is a wonderful step between living at home with your parents and living alone in the big wide world. It's cheap to live here, with lots of options for supermarkets etc. The location is unrivalled, with mountains on one side and sea on the other, great for exploring and relaxing. The night life isn't crazy, but Bangor has plenty of pubs which make for a good but relaxed evening, as well as clubs if you want anything more.

Bangor is set in North Wales surrounded by scenic views. The location is excellent for walking, particularly llanberis and betwys y coed. It is a small but lively city, with Anglesey easily reachable across the Menai.

With a huge supply of different supermarkets to choose from there are many different ways to save money on food. The small town also gives off a very friendly atmosphere and many of the residents speak Welsh.

I love the location of Bangor University for the history and natural beauty. It’s a lovely place if you like to go for walks. Also, the food in Bangor is cheap & most places are so delicious. Public transport is really cheap too, you can get to snowdonia for near nothing, and you’re close to Manchester/ Liverpool without having to be in a city-city. It’s such a safe place as well, it’s somewhere you always feel safe.

There alright to be fair I would go in to Bangor if the boys where looking a quite night out the best thing about Bangor is the place Betty Blacks always a great night

To rent a room it is quite cheap starting from £65 a week onwards. The location is great, there are loads of things to do in town. The night club The Cube has been recently refurbished and there are 4 different rooms , with different music. It is along the coast so there are a few lovely beaches when the weather is hot although a lot of the time it's raining and cold.

So pretty and it's so different. You can be at the beach one minute and hike up the mountains the next!

Value for money in Bangor is insane, it is easy to live off £20 a week and that is one of the main reasons I love it there so much. A night out does not need to cost upwards of a tenner through getting in on a ticket and luxuriating in the drinks offers cube or academi have to offer. Bangor boasts a host of cheap supermarkets making food shopping inexpensive. Bangor also hosts a range of places to eat out the best ones being Noodle One, Blue Sky and The Fat Cat all conveniently located on the high street.

It’s a very small city but has an absolutely lovely surrounding and with landscapes and natural beauty’s right around you, as well as the Menai strait and snowdonia under an hour away you cannot go wrong with Bangor.
