Lampeter is a bit like a seaside town only much smaller. However the university flourishes in this environment, as the town relies on the students for most of it's income. The university gives individual attention to its students that you would be hard pushed to find anywhere else - no waiting for three weeks to see a tutor here - just wander down to the union bar where there is almost always something going on, it's not likely to have the best, but pretty close to it!

Although the university is set in the middle of nowhere, the views and the countryside are spectaular. It is only 30 mins away from a sandy beach and under an hour from Aber or Camarthen. Buses run reasonably well and if there aren't any there are plenty of people with cars - and the routes are simple.

Lampyland can be a complete haven or a nightmare, but you can be completely yourself without anyone blinking an eye and if something is wrong the community is one of the most caring in the country.
