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.
