Jittipat Poonkham

(PhD International Politics)

"Town and gown. A cosmopolitan, vibrantly diverse and friendly town, together with an extremely serious academic community - literally, gown - emotionally cherish and logistically support my being in Aberystwyth, both in terms of academic and extracurricular activities. One of my best memories is the way in which Aberystwyth as a bounded community within Wales and the UK in general is conspicuously resilient and amicable to friends and peoples beyond borders."
