Great; learning a lot, meeting people, growing up a bit. Independence is refreshing and I feel like a grown up every time I do my own laundry. Campus is brand new and very good.

Great, lots of resources

Been very disorganised with timetable, scholarships, and building works but it’s understandble when the campus isn’t finished still. Singleton campus is very well established albeit older. If your there it’s a shorter bus ride and everything works just not as pretty. Bay wow it’s literally metres from the beach. There’s a lot of teething problems and the bus too it is very slow and overcrowded. It’s the number 1 in Wales for a reason. If your welsh 100% go there. Anyone else I would recommend it, but there are issues depending on your course. The students to lectures feels very disproportionate hence they have hired some master students. The WiFi in the library sucks and there’s no parking on campus unless you require on ie have a kid I believe is one or are disabled etc

GCHQ were at bay campus today. There was careers fairs on both campuses and had talks from people who have been to google

There’s 360 people to 1 lecturer it’s very easy to get lost in the learning and they don’t seem to be able to have the time for each person. They reply to emails within a day usually.

I’m not really involved as I’m English and need to work the welsh get more grants. But they are very environment focused and made loads of greats events!

I live on the cheaper (budget) option, HSV. I believe it’s getting knocked down soon. It’s cheap yes it’s not your 3/4 bed house anymore. You get a bed, a wardrobe, a desk, 2 chairs, a chesterdraw, a bedside cabinet, noticeboard & shelving. 2 Shared bathrooms between the 7 of you. 1 kitchen between 7. Honestly everyone is so different you have to plan to meet in any of the shared faculties as no one uses them at the same time. We had an issue with a few things but all fixed very quick. The fire alarm seems very sensitive too. The price... well it’s only £91 a week (at time of review) this is insane as bay campus is (£144) and I can park my car here and get a free bus pass. In term time the bus is every 12 mins. It needs to be more in more and late afternoon as it’s stabding room only having 1000 students on the village. The washing facilities are managed by the uni but they are cheap and pretty rubbish. Reception is very helpful. Letters not secure but parcels are. Spar shop overpriced but helpful in regards to laundrette. If you have a car you kinda have to come here.

Bay campus is brand new the WiFi seems to suck and you won’t get signal in any building on campus or on the student village. The computers are fairly decent and google scholar has a lot of content free due to the uni. Needs more tiolets and water fountains. We have a Santander and Tesco plus a cafe. Need another shop as Tesco gets crowded and never has any food.

Swansea is not to dissimilar to my home town in Torbay. Just bigger, somewhat decent amount of shops, not on Cardiff/Bristol/Exeter/Plymouth’s level though. Haven’t explored fully due to work load.

I haven’t joined any. Simply do not have time which is sad.

Lectures don’t have time always in lectures to help on my course but they respond online in their own time.
