Lampeter is over an hour away from the nearest city, and as such, many students find it difficult to adjust to rural life, although to some who come here, this is among the main attractions. As such, the union entertainments officer has to work tirelessly, organising events for students. The union building, purpose built on the banks of the Afon Dulas and extended in 1996, contains a student bar and small club, which hosts various parties and live music events, and the university's film society shows films in the Arts Building hall. There is also a student newspaper 1822, which offers a satirical viewpoint on life in Lampeter.
