Why Bangor University?
- Location: Students can live in one of the most scenic locations in the UK as they study. Nestled between the mountains and the sea, Bangor is more than just beautiful: it’s a playground for nature lovers. Hike, climb, kayak or canoe in nearby Snowdonia National Park, head to the beaches on Anglesey or take the plunge on Europe's fastest zip wire.
