Ratings and Reviews
I’ve had a great experience studying In Swansea. And living at the old way centre makes life much more easier. The Reception team are very welcoming and kind, you almost have accessibility to everything locally, the train station isn’t far and there are bus stops located on every corner to get you in and out of lectures.

It's a very very good university I'd reccomend it to everyone
Lovely social life. Transport to and from campus, and directions are not as good
Happy to be a swansea university student
Just amazing to explore and live in
Good experience never saw a such good management
A reasonable university overall, although frustrating the campus I study at is so far outside of the city
Buses can be a real problem, societies are good, career stuff too
I've enjoyed my time and would recommend
Perfect for any student, especially international student! It has all the benefits.
Nice one. I like this place. Highly recommend

Really like my university. I'm sure that I will enjoy my course for the next 3 years.
great place to live with an amazing team of reception, maintenance and security. management is very approachable and more than happy to answer any questions. very friendly staff all around. thankyou for a great 2 years of living.l
Been good, it’s a decent student experience
The campus and its facilities are wonderful, however, some of the clubs and societies could use some work, through no fault of the SU it's been wonderful! Also, my personal experience with the careers service has been great too, and would definitely advise others to make contact with them. The wifi is okay, not the greatest by far and doesn't work everywhere, but once you're on it, it's fast
It’s a good uni I feel that we should have more opportunities on placement to go outside of Wales especially if we are planning to work in England
Clubs are expensive. The student union don't advertise their events well but events are good career advice us great
Very food school. It has all the basic school facilities for my course. Aerospace engineering
Good uni but buses to campus are appalling
Life on campus is fine. Showers in student halls could be better tho
Very inclusive, close to the beach made many friends
great uni. always feel welcome and made good friends
very good university and its right next to the beach!!
I love to be part of swansea university
Pretty good premises and cozy rooms
Pretty decent enjoy it good fun
Good but WiFi makes you reconnect
Good uni best college ever seen best school
Wifi is difficult to connect to and isn't very good
The Internet needs to be more user friendly, campus is a bit dire. Feel isolated in comparison to Singleton
Nice atmosphere and service, good hospitality
Very good university! People are so great loving this !
Very good and excellent ambience
Quality life lovely to enjoy in Swansea
The accommodation is good. I would definitely recommend to my friends.
As exchange student from a small university in a country with ****** Internet there wasn't much to complain. Not to happy with one society I was part of but eh, who cares

It’s a great uni. Love it here
Nice environment Really supportive
Great facilities on campus and easy access. Clean and tidy and lots of opportunites available.
My university experience has been enriched by valuable resources like Canvas for online learning, Pronatpro for academic support, an active student union fostering community engagement, a helpful help desk, and a well-equipped library. These resources have significantly contributed to an excellent overall academic journey with no unnecessary constraints.
Good university campus with good amenities, slightly under capacity at times
Very friendly lecturers and it's a great place to study and all the academic activities take place in a proper way.

Good overall all, affordable place
Good campus, student union could use work in addressing the issues faced by students.
Everything is perfect. There’s loads of choices to choose from plus the uni is very welcoming and easy to get along with the members of stand and seek guidance
There is help for anyone struggling to find a career path or a temporary job. WiFi works amazing no matter where you are in the building.
The uni is great, to live in this UK weather is not the best.
Lovely university in a lovely city
I had a great experience at Swansea uni as a masters student.
Good first-year experience. The campus is a bit of an eyesore, just ugly buildings everywhere. The staff are excellent for my course though, can't fault them. The buildings need knocking down and re-doing.
Swansea university is great. Thanks
