Students of 2015/16

Hi,

I have two conditional offers to Aber for English-type degrees, due to start September 2015, and was wondering if anyone else is going? It'd be great to turn up already knowing a couple of people from here I also want to know people's opinions on catering/self catering, which accommodation takes their fancy and what kind of experience you're looking for.
Thanks!!

I've been given a conditional for international politics which I think I will take, mainly because the department is actually better than Cardiff. My friend also graduated from this course and loved it. I mean, I loved Cardiff but still. I can always travel there if I'm bored.

I'm personally going to be going into self catered halls. (Health reasons) My friend recommended PJM mainly because of the community feel you get. I'd love to do ensuite but tbh it's not essential. And PJM is basically a house so I won't wake up people when I get up early.

I'm a mature student (23 when I start), so I doubt I'll be going there for drinking. Likely I'll concentrate on my studies, travelling and societies (I got about 4-5 I wish to join). Then again I'm introverted so I'll likely be on my PC or on my music since I'll be bringing all my tech with me (debating on a Chromebook, Surface or building my PC dunno yet).

Like you, I'll be a mature student (22 when starting) and likewise I am more interesting in studying for the 3 years rather than partying much at all. But who knows what my attitude will be once I get there. (Assuming I get my offer/unconditional tho - I'm sitting the Entrance Exam so got that to look forward to).

I haven't decided on what accom I will go for if I go to Aber... but since my plans are to spend most of my time in the library going for the budget option seems sensible. And if I reach my goal of getting the Entrance Scholarship the extra 1k a year basically ensures no need for me to get a job, and enough for a fair few cigars

I would strongly recommend Rosser Halls, as they are centrally based on campus for lectures and the Hugh Owen Library and the ensuite is definitely worth it!
However if you don't want ensuite halls I would recommend PJM as it is a little community in itself.
Good Luck in September!
