Ah, I visited the sea front accomodation on the open day, I missed the last tour so one of the receptionists just showed myself and another girl round two of the flats. The rooms on the front of the building and facing the sea were great, slightly larger I'd say than ones in Cwrt Mawr or similar. However the rooms on the back were back and dingy. It's personal preference I guess, but I wouldn't like to have the light on in my room all the time I was in it, unless I was a vampire that is...
I preferred Cwrt Mawr (which I stayed in the night before the open day), Rosser and Trefloyne. The rooms were of similar size, and if sea views were desperately wanted some actually had them! For example the flat I stayed in had a lovely view of the sea from the kitchen.
Bangor wise, I went on the accomodation tour and the flats there seemed more homelike. For me, the one thing I hated about the Aber flats (maybe more particularly Cwrt Mawr) was the (ugly) painted breeze block walls. Bangor had the Ha, walls nicely plastered etc, which might seem pedantic but it would seriously annoy me if they weren't.
So for me it's still a toss up between Bangor and Aber. I think there's only one way to find out.....
FIGHT!!! edit - Is it a ruling that Bangor applicants have the words 'Bumble' and 'Bee' in their username?!?!
