Northern Ireland???

Is Bangor, Northern Ireland a good vacation spot for a student?

OK for a day trip but not much else to keep you occupied.

It is a seaport, resort, and yachting center (site of an annual regatta), with some light industry. The Elizabethan Bangor Castle is in the town along with the remains of an abbey founded c.555 by St. Comgall and destroyed by the Danes in the 9th cent. Rebuilt in 1120, it was taken over by Franciscans in 1469. The missionary abbey was dissolved in 1542.

very slow paced, but they have good bars and clubs.

Not bad but Belfast has a livelier night life and sometimes Bangor can be more expensive

Nope, the best places would either be Belfast or Portrush.

bangor is good for a day out,but not really if you want to spend a long time there on holiday, there are a few bars and clubs, but getting back to Belfast late at night is tricky.

It a lovely place to visit for a day or 2. Bangor is only about 20 mins from Belfast so it's easy enough to get to. There's a lot more to do and see in Belfast but it all depends what kind of vacation your looking for. Shoppings not too bad in Bangor and it does have a lively enough nightlife

You will die of boredom, try Belfast or portrush

Portrush would be better because you have Kelly's which is one of the biggest nightclubs in Ireland plus other various pubs and clubs in neighbouring Portstewart. the nearest big town, coleraine, has a uni and most students live in portrush / portstewart. you can stay quite cheaply and there is plenty to see during the day too. check out these websites.

if you are planning on flying over the two nearest airports are City of Derry (40 minutes) and Belfast International (1hr 15 minutes)
