Can I just ask... how do you pronounce Bangor? I thought it was Ban-gor, but someone said they were applying to "Banger" university and I was like o.O

The proper Welsh pronounciation is how it's spelled, Ban-gor, but most people say it pretty quickly in conversation so it just becomes Banger :tongue:

Well I'm English so I say it like Bang-er but most of the Welsh people here put emphasis on the "or"
Just say it like Bang-er, because it sounds weird if you dont have a strong welsh accent and you say "Bang-or" :tongue:

It seems like an awesome Uni. I live in Bangor and I've heard nothing but good things about it from friends that have gone there! Just bring an umbrella because it never stops raining! :tongue:

I'm all too used to the Welsh weather, I live about an hour down the coast (near Barmouth) and I think almost every time we've gone up Bangor shopping (usually about once a month), it's rained :biggrin:

I hope you like hills! I did my first degree there and I vividly remember trying to get down one of them when it was all icey. there was a lot of hanging onto fences and bushes I can tell you! Great university though, and not a bad place to live, especially in the summer with all the gorgeous beaches on Anglessey :smile:

Went to Bangor admissions day today! Very impressed so I'm glad it's my first choice. Everyone was really lovely and very accommodating of me being awkward with my crutches :redface:

I'm very excited about the course I'm going to be doing, got a chance to speak to some of the peer guides and also a couple of the lecturers and I got to see one of the rooms in accommodation - unfortunately not Reichel, but I've actually decided now that, now I know how much money I'll be getting through funding etc, I'm going to go for one of the newer accommodation blocks, so it was great to have a look around, the rooms are lovely and it's made me even more excited!

By the way, if any of you have facebook, post in the Bangor 2012 Applicants Social Group :smile:

hardly any body pronounces it like "BANG-OR" the only people who do are very very welsh or farmers but thats because of their accent, i live about half hour away from bangor and nearly everyone i know pronounces it like "BANG-ER"

Im off to bangor university next year to study sport science and psychololgy, any body else doing a similar course?

My Welsh teachers at school and one friend who is incredibly incredibly Welsh are literally the only people I've ever met who have called it Bang-or. And a radio interviewer from South Wales when I did an interview once. Apart from that it's always been Banger :biggrin:

You're from Cardiff aren't you?

If so, I think it is a South Welsh thing... the history teacher at my secondary school was South Walian, and she pronounced it like Bang-or :smile:
