Thanks James, that's really useful info and you make it sound so exciting!
I missed a couple of grades and wasn't accepted by my original uni choices to study Law. I'm feeling slightly anxious that I've moved outside of the Russell Group by choosing Aberystwyth. From your experience can I ask about the reputation of the uni in relation to competitive careers longer term?
I've no doubt that the setting, activities and uni ethos at Aber are second to none, but I am concerned about the long-term. Are there snooty employers out there only interested in RG?
I'm coming to a clearing open day next week to check out the course, uni and setting.. but I still have nagging doubts about the reputation. Sorry, don't want to bring the mood down but it seems to make sense to air concerns sooner rather than later.
