In Aber for Winter

Whatever the reason, many students often stay in Aberystwyth over the Winter break. We don’t want anyone to feel alone, so we’ve put together this list of events going on as well as a list of useful contacts.

We’ve also created a Facebook group to share updates of events and activities, as well as giving students the opportunity to arrange meet-up with others.
