    I was planning to study there, but then I decided I wouldn't apply to anywhere that I couldn't pronounce...

    It's pronounced "Aber-isth-with" (with the h slightly stressed). ;) I was too going to study there, intended on doing the PGCE but decided against it as I got offered a PhD in QUB instead. One of my friends did her PGCE here a couple of years ago, loved the place, great craic, really nice student town so it is. If I was to go to Wales, it'd probably be for either Aberystwyth or Cardiff.
