is bangor uni good for law?

hi!! im applying to uni for law to start in 2026 - my predicted grades are ABB, and I was thinking of applying to Bangor because the required grades are between AAB-BBC if I remember correctly, but I am being told that I shouldn’t go there and that it’s not good for law, without explaining. would anyone be able to tell me why people might be saying this?
