Why choose Wales?
Wales offers unparalleled variety in local environments giving you the opportunity to choose from a life in a bustling city centre to rural communities with spectacular views to life by the sea.
Large cities such as Cardiff and Swansea are cosmopolitan centres with shopping centres, lively nightlife and a strong artistic tradition. Other areas of Wales offer outstanding scenery and outdoor pursuits - particularly sailing, walking and climbing. All centres in Wales offer a distinct local cultural identity, and the University towns in North and West Wales (Aberystwyth, Bangor and Wrexham) offer the usual local cultural life expected in University towns.
