Hey there, I'm starting at Aber in September and I'm planning to join lots of clubs , I was wondering do you have to sign up with them during the Fresher's fair or do you just turn up during the club's first session of the year? Also I was wondering do club training sessions and games often overlap with lectures?

I'll be staying in Pantyceln, how likely will any food I buy be stolen from the fridge in the kitchennet? Would I be able to have a small fridge in my room.
Also do you know if the beds are single or double sized?
Really looking forward to starting.

Hi! I have a confirmed place at Aber starting in September, and have also booked my accomodation as an international student. I have emailed the staff and asked if there was anything extra I needed to do before paying fees which they said is done during the first week before the semester. I checked the website and it says international students have to make a deposit? Further, I asked if signing up for an Aber card etc was also done during registration and they said yes. Do I wait until September(registration) to complete everything (paying fees, obtaining Abercard, booking moving in day etc) or am I missing something?

Hi! i’m firmed to take a gap year and go to Aber 2025, i was just wondering about accommodation. do you know if you get put with other gap year students or is it just random? also do i need to apply for student finance now or next year?
thanks!

Hi! It's very unlikely you will have issues with an item being stolen from your fridge. However, should you face any problems with your accommodation, please do bring the up with your Resident Assistant (RA) or by e-mailing the Accommodation Office who will be happy to assist.
If you require a fridge for medical reasons, please contact the Accessibility Advisor at Student Support Services - [email protected] / 01970 621761. The Residences Management Team will provide you with this equipment should your request be approved.
Or if you want to bring your own mini fridge you are allowed to bring additional furniture (including fridge/freezers) into your accommodation provided it complies fully with the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire Safety) Regulations and that you complete an additional items form, available from the Accommodation Office.
For confirmation on the bed sizes of Pantycelyn, please do reach out to the Accommodation Office at [email protected] - who can confirm the bed size of your room.
Mostafa.

Hello, speaking of mini fridges and the additional items form, would I be able to get it from the accommodation office and complete it before I get to Aberystwyth as I'd rather know before I bring it with me to university whether my additional items application would be accepted or not?
Many Thanks
