Why Bangor

È«Ãñ²ÊƱ is one of the renowned and historical leaders in education, research, international outlook, and teaching. Professors at È«Ãñ²ÊƱ are mostly scholars and promote research thus, students willing to begin research at an early stage will be very advantageous. At Bangor there is a high quality of education standard with field leading professors, I feel lucky to be part of the Business School. The University has the most traditional look, built in 1884 and annexed with cutting edge modern facilities, and loveable accommodation it has been a wonderful experience.

The International Mentor Scheme

One of the dilemmas for any international student is to go through some difficulties in obtaining accommodation, finding a suitable course, and home sickness. Bangor has a thriving multicultural campus, with students from various nationalities so there wasn't the fear of being alone and being a mentor gave me the opportunity to help the people around me, and to make lifetime friends and fellows.

Bangor and the area

I come from a big city - Lahore in Pakistan, and I have immersed myself in studying close to nature in Bangor, I am more convinced than ever that nature does indeed have a way of awakening the entire human mind and body to achieve our highest level of brilliance possible. I preferred Bangor mainly because of its awesome location which is situated inbetween the lush green mountains on one side and the beautiful blue seashores on the other side, that gave me no second thought to consider any other university than Bangor for my studies. There are great fun outdoor activities in Bangor's surrounding area e.g. hiking Mount Snowdon and walking through 800 acres of glacial landforms of the Snowdonia National Park, which is home to an extensive network of trails, over 100 lakes, and craggy peaks such as 'Cader Idris'.
