Today we had a campus and course orientation. We learned about what we'll be doing while in Aberystwyth, and then took a tour of the campus. Unlike Cardiff or Bangor, Aber's campus is much more compact. And the best part of it all is that our dorms were moved to the campus! We were not on campus before, but we are now. We now have our own rooms and are all in one flat, which is so much better! The only bad part was that we had to re-pack all of our stuff then lug it over to the new flat, then unpack it all again. But I'm not complaining, this one is so much better! We also took a historical walk of Aberystwyth. It sounds totally boring, but it was so much fun! The old man that took us around he was a riot. He was brutally honest with his opinions on all of the old buildings, so he kept us laughing the entire 3 hours! We also saw how beautiful this city really is.
