We have expanded the number of halls places over the last few years enabling an increasing number of 2nd and 3rd years and Postgraduate students to live in Halls as well.
Stunning location
The location, the scenery and the surrounding area are also amongst the reasons why students choose to come to Bangor. All this on your doorstep adds a different dimension to student life, with plenty of places to visit in Snowdonia and the Isle of Anglesey, as well as easy access to cities such as Liverpool, Manchester and Dublin for shopping trips or days out.
There is no need to keep a car or use public transport to get around in the city; you can walk everywhere.
