I live about 10 miles away from Bangor. A really nice small city [only really a cit due to the Cathedral - doesn't really fill the population quota] which is right by the sea.
I think it depends really what you want to study! It is one of the top universities [3rd next to Oxford and Cambridge] in Psychology and there is a great atmosphere within the town. A little of everything! Beautiful scenary and yet shops and buses and a train station etc.
The library and main hall is amazing! really looks like the great hall for Hogwarts from the outside.
IN terms of expenses, the accomodation is below average price for Britain but the food and neccessities are quite cheap, especially in comparison to London and other big cities.
Problem is i guess, most people think it is a little cut off from the rest of the country as there is only one route to get to England which goes east along the coast. However, it is really close to Hollyhead if you were ever interested in going over to Ireland!
ummm... yeah! I personally go to Aberystwyth which is in mid-Wales, but my boyfriend studies Chemistry at Bangor and he seems to really like it... you know, beyond the whole work thing!
