A substantial chunk of Bangor is occupied by the university, which also has a portion of its School of Healthcare Sciences in Wrexham. The Penrhyn Arms Hotel, an old coaching inn where the university's first headquarters were located, served as housing for both its 58 students and its 12 faculty members.
