University
of Wales at Lampeter
St David’s
College was founded by Bishop Thomas Burgess in 1822
so that Welsh students, prohibited by the expense
of Oxford and Cambridge, could obtain a university
education. The College is modelled on the Oxbridge
colleges in a neo-Gothic style. The campus
is located in the middle of the town and all shops
and amenities are within an easy five-minute walk.
Accommodation
There is a choice of single en-suite rooms or standard
rooms (standard rooms share a shower with a ratio
of one shower to four people). All the accommodation
is in flats with kitchenettes. The blocks are newly
built and in excellent decorative order with pleasant
views over the surrounding countryside. The accommodation
is all located near to the dining room and the social
and teaching facilities.
Sports facilities
On campus there is a fully equipped sports hall and
there are also facilities for tennis and football outside.
In town there is a leisure centre and swimming pool.
Activities
A full programme of afternoon and evening activities
is arranged, taking advantage of the Welsh cultural
heritage. The evening activities generally take place
in the Students Union which is an excellent venue for
activities such as quizzes, themed discos, talent contests,
etc.
