You may not be thinking about it now. But your stomach will be when you arrive. Don’t forget to take a trip to one of the local supermarkets in Aber and stock up on snacks… drinks and oh yes, food to survive the hangovers. Find local supermarkets using this Google map. But remember, everyone else will pretty much have the same idea so it might be worth bringing one or two items with you. Photos of how busy it can get when students move in. Don’t forget to check out the Aberyswtyth Student Fod Co-op here.
