Town, beach, campus Swansea has a vibrant music scene which continues to grow. The city boasts a huge variety of music venues and plays host to music festivals and events throughout the year with plans underway for a new 3, capacity arena in the heart of the city.
Want to get the low down on student life? Speak with one of our friendly student ambassadors:. Swansea is a vibrant centre for art and culture. Literature lovers should pay a visit to local boy Dylan Thomas' home too. Rebound is your Student's Union nightclub with drinks and classic tunes.
In JC's you can watch big-screen matches, do the Sunday pub quiz or take part in the open mic night on Tuesdays. If you are on the Bay, Tafarn Tawe is the place to be with a Sunday night pub quiz and the place to be for all sporting events. Epic Three Cliffs and Rhossili grab the spotlight, but there are also countless coves to explore.
Follow the adventures of our student Vloggers as they showcase their favourite outdoor Swansea spaces. Accomodation is overpriced and substandard, for instance one oven for 12 rooms and always cold. To be fair some lecturers are good and helpful but some are appallingly bad.
Many modules you just end up having to teach yourself. Many societies are completely inactive. The uni always solicits student feedback but never acts on it.
Overall university is very good, the student union could be improved on. Not really any societies for me to be honest. I find it a little intimidating going to the meetings because they are led by diehard fans of the certain subject Disney society, GOT society etc etc. As probably one of the only first years who couldn't find a society to join, I'm probably more at fault than than the societies are.
Swansea is a very sports-oreintated university, and if you're about as good as a small infant when it comes to hand eye coordination, that could be a problem. However, if there was a musical theatre society, I'd join in a heartbeat. Internet was not very reliable or quick, library is not large enough non-silent areas lack space during exam season.
The food in 52 degrees is shockingly bad, avoid the burger which I left on the plate half an hour ago in utter disgust, it was like a burnt brick and tasted off, the wifi is non existent and the atmosphere the same.
Such a shame as it could be a little gold mine. Very stressful during exam period but well worth going to uni for, socially and academically it excels you.
A lot of independent learning though. Very impressive provisions, with almost everything you need in the heart of the campus: Grocery store, post office, banks yes, multiple , resto's, coffee bars, cinema, clothing shop, pub, There's a very active social life, with a well functioning Students Union however, they don't know how to throw really good parties; but Swansea's own nightlife compensates that very much ;.
The new bay campus is great for when you have lectures as it is a 30 second walk to the lecture halls, the one aspect that is lacking is the social side, I'm not saying the place is completely dead but it could be a bit more lively at times.
Lovely accommodation and helpful staff to help with anything needed. Great university, made loads of friends and had loads of fun and it's not even been 2 months yet. Everyone is okay here at Swansea, aesthetically, not the nicest looking uni, with little things that could be added to make the uni experience just a little better.
But JC's has a great atmosphere and is okay priced, and Tooters is very cheap! Was great until they moved the Engineering to the Bay Campus which is a joke! Brand new buildings rusting away after being open for 2 months, WiFi that barely works, hardly any computers on site, an hours bus ride to the nearest shop and back, no SU Bar or social space.
Car parking is non-existent. Lecture rooms don't even have chalkboards or whiteboards in them - even the lecturers complain! Half the site still has building work going on which you can hear over your lecturers voice. Amazing experience Bay campus will make it much better for engineering and business students Down side is that transport is expensive and swansea isn't the safest of areas. I absolutely love swansea!
Great location! Great course! Great lecturers! Not started as yet but if it's anything like the open days it going to be fantastic. Not enough societies to cater for everyone. Still not doing enough for students who either don't drink or don't drink much. Student Union clubs are overcrowded, small, outdated and overpriced. Absolutely incredible Uni, wasn't going to put it as my first choice, but visited the uni and loved it from the minute I got there!
Their societies are also incredible! Couldn't rate it more highly!!!! Swansea uni is the place to be for huge nights out and its incredibly friendly! I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. Great Uni experience, as well as having a solid Economics department that were helpful!
Well going by what my seniors have said. Its the best cost effective University which gives excellent teaching and life experience. A friendly university that caters too all people far better than most. The university provides all the help and support needed to make the most of your education. Currently having an amazing university experience here!! Would not want to be anywhere else, have made the most amazing friends as everyone at Swansea is extremely friendly.
Walking straight down to the beach for a bbq after lectures is also incredible and not something you can do at any other uni. Everyone should come here!! Wifi cuts out quite a bit. Only issue I find is that every subject has a building but those in the humanities department.
