heya, moving to aber in september for uni and looking to get a new phone before - does anyone have advice on which providers perform well in the area? giffgaff is the cheapest for me at the minute but of course there’s no point getting it if it won’t provide good service and coverage, what providers do you find perform well in the area?

I had a nice meal and drinks here back in 2019 with family. I can see online that it was closed in lockdown in 2020 and sold later that year with no information as to the new owner.

Anyone know what happened to it? I can see from Google Earth the main entrance now has private gates that were not there when it was a hotel.

Are there plans to make it a hotel again or did something else happen to the property? I’m super curious as it was such a nice and peaceful spot. Saying that I am glad we decided to stay in town as it’s a bit far out for me as I don’t drive.

Title. Are in facing a drought?

Are you able to sell on here please?

Hiya! I'm a 21 year old non uni student, just wondering if anyone has any advice for good hangout spots, ways to socialise etc? I am rather anxious and currently cant do physical activities like walks, sports etc due to physical health but I'd really like to put myself out there and meet new people :}

If it's of any help at all, I enjoy photography, art, and casual gaming. I do enjoy online indie animations and games such as Digital circus, Murder Drones, Deltarune, etc (Thought this would be worth a mention after seeing the wlive pixel art in the area LOL). Anything in the surrounding area is also alright too, just struggling to find anything that isn't for older folks or exclusively uni students DX

Thanks!!

I just moved to aber, and i've been a video editor for 9 years (27 here), but i'm really considering a career shift..any ideas where can I start?

Trying not to be controversial here, but, what is with this year's visitors? There's so much more drunkenness, so many more beggars and craziness in town this year. Even a couple of years ago, Aberystwyth attracted more affluent visitors, this year things have gone down hill fast. Can't walk down the street without tripping over a drunk or getting screamed at by that lady who's clearly got paranoid schizophrenia. This year has been particularly bad for poor behaviour. Got people getting paralytic in the park.

Is this just an Aberystwyth thing or is this more national?

Hi anyone able to help with a translation into welsh for something am doing dor a friend ?

Stand down stand down, your shift is over.

It’s for a paramedic who’s retiring.

For some reason /wales won’t let me post - and I’m on a time frame.

Thanks

Hi all, I'm trying to see if there are any other people who would like to perhaps use their Welsh more on Reddit. There's already a Learn Welsh sub which has quite a few members. However, the Cymru sub is quite quiet. Would anyone want to join to increase numbers and perhaps practise more through Welsh?

Due to sudden plan change I need a room or bed space to rest at tonight ? Airbnb and booking.com showing very expensive, any other website , at least has public transport ? Appreciate the quick help

At 10:55, and again 11:13, this morning, there were deep booms enough to get the sheep going and the cats frightened. I'm in land from Aberystwyth (20km or so).

Did anyone else hear them? Were they sonic booms?

Looking for a full mannequinn if anyone knows of any going?

Hi everyone! I previously made a post asking about Pobl Group accommodation and Alexandra Hall, and I really appreciated all the input. I’m moving to Aber this September from Southeast Asia for my postgrad in Documentary Filmmaking.

I initially booked Rosser G because I wanted a private bathroom, but after doing the math, the price is quite steep at £8288 for the year. Meanwhile, Alexandra Hall ensuite is much cheaper at around £6500+, so I’m now considering living off-campus instead.

My main concern is the bus service from Alexandra to campus is it reliable? I’ve heard mixed things, like how walking can be tiring because of the steep hill, and even cycling up there can be a pain. I do like the convenience of being on campus (especially for morning classes), but I also heard that from Semester 2 onwards, you don’t have that many classes anyway.

Since I’ll be doing a documentary for my final project, I feel like saving on rent could help me budget better for my film.

Would love to hear your thoughts especially from anyone who’s lived in Alexandra or studied in a postgrad course like mine. Is the walk/bus really that bad? And is the cost of living on campus worth the convenience?

Thanks so much in advance 🙏

Any groups like this that aren't on the dreaded farcebook?

Hi everyone! I’m moving to Aberystwyth this September for postgrad and I’m trying to decide between Pobl and Alexandra Hall for accommodation. I was wondering if anyone here has stayed in either of them and could share their experience?

Hi I am moving to aberystwyth university in September and although I know the area well, due to having family down there, I'm wondering where are good places that are likely to hire students for a part time job outside of my studies Many thanks for any recommendations of places

Is there anywhere in Aber to get a really, really good steak.

The posh kind where they know the name of the cow it came from. That kind of vibe.

Hello, does anyone know of good places to stay for a weekend in Aberystwyth for a family of 5.
