I am loving life more than i ever thought i could, Swansea Uni completely turned around my mental health and i can't stress enough how supportive the entire community (uni staff and fellow students) feels.

Top notch, bay campus is brand new and working there feels like im in the future

I am impressed by how supportive the uni is of people in harder situations, myself included. Had some finance difficulties due to situations i cannot control and the uni has been behind me every step of the way

Absolutely amazing, met and know the SU pres personally he's a top guy, the societies i'm involved in are great and give you the best chance to get out and meet new people with similar interests as you

So many clubs and soo cheap, i love swansea

these are good, the surf club is the best and skate is also damn good. All the trips ive been on have been the best times and i couldnt be happier

Plenty of material available, the lectures are always precise enough and provide enough detail so that you know exactly what you need to study but not too intrusive that you are told all the answers, the lecturers themselves have all proved to be helpful and willing to lend their time in order to help you succeed

Conscious effort is made to ensure that students have every opportunity to find work whilst studying with many job fairs and employability labs happening all the time, there is a team that will look pver your cv and offer advice if needed, and i think there is compulsory employability courses for the later years

Good, decent price for the services and accommodation provided, free bus pass included and the security team make me feel safe

I think my university should improve its communication not just with students but also within the staff. We have a useful online feedback system which has made some real differences that I have found useful, but not all queries are answered to our satisfaction. Overall, I have had a positive experience so far because I have made some good friends and learnt a lot.

Very good, mostly because ther are all new (I live on Bay Campus) but there are some oversights in their design. There are always enough computers to use, but I think the since the library is so popular, it would be good to expand it and possibly make clearer other places where we can study

I have had 2 academic mentor meetings so far in my first semester, but not a lot of interaction with them otherwise. I have not used any of the university's personal support services.

I haven't heard much from the students' union but it might be the case that they are doing good work but we, as students, are not being informed about it. I have spoken to SU receptionists a few times and they were helpful. Overall I haven't had much interaction with the SU so it would be nice to be given regular updates as to what they are doing.

Useful Tesco on campus and a few other food outlets. Off campus, everything is about 10-20 minutes on the bus in to the centre of Swansea so it's not too bad. I like it being slightly separated from the main town because its more peaceful

Overall there is a good variety of societies. Website could be a bit clearer in advertising them. A few societies don't seem to be active at all.

Generally, I would like to have a few more contact hours but what I have is good. Some lecturers could have taught aspects of their modules a little better, such as in programming labs and courseworks where the tasks were quite wordy. However I don't think my experience with that one lecture is a fair general representation, because most of my lecturers explained things clearly and were willing to answer questions.

Compulsory bronze level Swansea Employability Award in 1st semerster of year 1 which was useful, but could have been a lot better. We have had several employability lecture which were useful, but I would find a more hands on approach more useful such as weekly labs.
