Lampeter Students?

Hi there,

I'm coming to Lampeter in September to study Theology with Education Studies. I was just wondering; what's the gym like on campus and the students union? I went to the open day in June but didn't get to see the gym, it was only mentioned that there was one there.

Thanks :-)!

Hey guys,

I am studying Latin and Classical Studies at Lampeter in my Third year Here to help if you have questions

Anyone else out there coming to this wonderful town?

Hi MollyO,

The classes are great! Small sizes, so more time with the lecturers. Great subject matter that is interesting and engaging aswell!! there are tons of societies, including most of the sports like rugby, football, hockey, netball, badminton etc and other ones like LARP, medsoc, cosplay, anime, performing arts, singing and so on
The nightlife is good, though obviously not like a city!! But we do have our own club on campus and a SU Bar
The accommodation is good, there are plenty of rooms available! Including ensuite ones very well priced as well!!
There are a number of jobs available within the university, like behind the bar etc, catering and also being a student ambassador
For me latin wasn't that difficult, it helps if you know another language already but the course is very in depth and gets the knowledge through in interesting and helpful ways

I hope this helps!!

I'm doing Archaeology major minor but only 1st year and it's such a good course of what I've done so far by the way we go on loads of trips been to a lot of Welsh sites but they link to what you've been learning like when we did Romans we went to Caerleon by Newport in 1st Sem of 1st year you do study skills intro to arch and I think you can pick one if doing full course but those 2 are compulsory Intro to arch is what it says on the tin you look at how it started and you cover the whole history timeline from Neolithic to present time then you cover techniques but it's mostly history based for this you do 2 2000 word essays where you can pick from like 10 questions both times so always something you'll be interested in then this term I'm doing Intro to fieldwork and Land sea and skyscapes and we do a dig in May for 3 weeks want anymore info on it message me

Hi Zed,

Whoo! I'm glad to hear you are decided on UWTSD for your Uni! As I am not on the Archaeology Course myself I can't really give you too much information, but you can find more information on the uni's website and search for Archaeology
As for the wargaming society? I am not sure, but there is always the opportunity to start one when you get here!
Though we do have many societies, like LARPing and RPG Games

Hope this helps!

It is an amazing place to learn! I'm glad I can help!

The library is awesome, with two floors and the Roderick Bowen Library that holds one of the largest collections of Medieval Manuscripts in the country They have tonnes of books that are relevant to the course, and the opportunity to suggest resources for the courses within the library itself
YES! It is very scenic! Really beautiful to look at! Lots of green space and places to go
It is very easy to make friends here! We all end up being like a little family As we are quite small you will most likely end up knowing most people on the campus! There are many ways to meet friends, from the people you live with to your classmates and then societies buddies
