Pantycelyn On 04/04/2014, Welsh speaking students at Aberystwyth university saved Pantycelyn, a Welsh medium student accommodation hall. The university were going to close it and by doing so, weaken the Welsh community in the university, the town and even the whole of Wales. Pantycelyn is one of, if not the strongest Welsh communities in Wales. We have been protesting against the decision to close Pantycelyn since September. Yesterday(04/04/2014) the university listened to us because 37 of us threatened to go on hunger strike unless they allowed the halls to stay open. I was one of these students. Pantycelyn has been a home to Welsh medium students for 40 years. Pantycelyn has become my home since I moved in to my room on September 17th, 2013. Hopefully, Pantycelyn will become a home to Welsh medium students, or students who wish to learn Welsh, for another 40 years. 04/04/2014. Mewn undeb mae nerth.
