You’ll be part of some amazing experiences at university, and you’ll want to remember them all. Thanks then, to Bangor University, who are offering you the chance to win a Panasonic Lumix TZ7 Digital Camera.

Bangor promises you one of the best university locations in the UK and a well-established university with an excellent reputation for teaching and research. The size and nature of Bangor means it’s easy to get to know people. In fact, many students choose Bangor because of the small and friendly nature of the University and the city itself. Another advantage is that the cost of living is lower than in many other places and the University offers extra help to students by providing over £2.8 million a year in bursaries and scholarships.

Scenic and sport location
Bangor’s location between Snowdonia national park and the sea means it attracts students who are into sports, especially those involving the great outdoors. However, many students just like the fact that Bangor tends to be cleaner, safer and friendlier than many larger places.

Sam Mumford from Cheltenham says: “The whole Bangor experience has been great. It’s the combination of the location, the people and the course. I love the fact that you can spend the day in the mountains and then have an evening barbeque on the beach.”

Study at a uni that cares
Bangor has been rated as the top university in the UK for the help and support offered to students. It has one of the largest peer-guiding schemes where second year students help new students settle in. during Welcome Week and beyond.

Fiona Barratt-Bailey, from Wolverhampton, says, “Welcome Week was packed full of people to see and things to do- our Peer Guides were really friendly and helped everyone settle in quickly!”
