Bore da!
I will be attending Swansea for the Spring, 2025, semester. I'm coming from the U.S. My assigned accommodation is Beck House (or Tŷ Beck, in Welsh). I'm an older, non-traditional student, so Beck House seems as if it will suit me perfectly. My classes will be on Singleton campus.
Has anyone had experience living in Beck House? Any tips for the bumbling, American lady who will be living there?
Thank you.
Can anyone tell me information on ewlo in bay campus accommodation

I just got my accommodation offer and it says I need proof of Visa/CAS letter since I am an international student. I don’t need a visa since I’m studying abroad for less than 6 months and from the US. Am I allowed to accept my offer even though I don’t have a visa/CAS letter?
I will be attending Swansea University for the Spring 2025 semester, I am coming from the US as a chemical engineering major. I have accommodation at Bay Campus. I was wondering if anyone could provide any insight into what it will be like, how hard it will be to meet people, etc. Also if there are any clubs or club sports studying abroad students can join?
I’m currently studying a btec in engineering and aim for ddd at the end of the year will Swansea still accept me as they want d*dd
I'm in the process of applying for a deadline extension due to illness, and I'm wondering if the uni will accept a doctor's note from Updoc or similar online GP services? I'm an international student who just came to the UK about 2 months ago, so I'm not too familiar with how the system here works. Any experiences? Thank you!
Hi! I am an incoming international student for semester 2. I have a few questions abt accommodation. I am studying marketing so my classes will be on bay campus.
I would prefer to live on bay campus since it is close to my classes but I’ve read that the social life is dead. Is it actually that hard to make friends when living on bay?
I really want to get involved w the mountaineering club, would living on bay campus make it difficult to do so?
I appreciate your help/advice!
Hi everyone,
I’m a trainee clinical psychologist researching how worrying about affording food impacts eating habits and eating behaviour, especially during the cost-of-living crisis.
If you are 18 or older and living in the UK, I would love to hear from you! You do not have to be a student to take part as the research is open to everyone. However, I want to make sure that the experience of students is also represented, as university can be a time where finances are very stretched, especially at the moment.
There are two ways to take part:
Anyone over 18 living in the UK can take part and share their thoughts here.
You can find out more information by emailing me here.
You can take part in either or both :)
Your input could help shed light on this important issue, and by participating, you could also win one of four vouchers (2 x £30 and 2 x £20)!
If you’re interested, follow this link to the survey here. Or, feel free to DM me or email me here for more info.
If you do decide to take part, you will be given an information sheet with details about how data will be stored, retained and published, how to withdraw your data and information about consent.
Thank you so much for your support!

Are 2nd years able to book accommodation (seren/true etc.) through the uni? they provide a small discount if you book it through uni so i wanted to know if i can still take advantage of that next year

So my questions are
How late do exams really go? I am an international student who plans on going back to my home country for internships during the summer. I was wondering if exams really go into the first week of June consistently or if it's possible my exams will be done before then. I am in the economics department, and I'd appreciate any answer!

Hello, Im wondering if freshers fayre is just student only if you have medically proved anxiety? I want to go but I dont know anybody so I wanted to bring a friend along just for moral support. Is this allowed? Thanks in advance
i’m awaiting confirmation from my letting agent to allow me to leave my current house to find somewhere else more suited for me, but i wanted to know if anyone is specifically after a room to rent so that I could have you as an option on standby to take over? The house is a 20-30 minute walk from singleton park and the rent has been covered until January. It would be with four other girls, who are clean, organised and very friendly. The rent after January would be £100 pw.
Please let me know if anyone’s interested and I will get back with more info as soon as I have confirmation 🫶
I’m coming back from a year in industry, always parked in the amazon warehouse up the road and walked into campus, I’ve seen emails about no longer being able to do this and being fined?
Has anyone had that experience? My first two years there must’ve been a good 20+ cars worth of students at the top end walking in from parking there every day, not sure what’s occurred during my year out though?
On the absolute off chance, is anyone else here studying MSc Medical Neuroscience?
I was planning to move in with my girlfriend into a studio flat but we both got offered separate rooms, which was out of our budget but we accepted and paid the deposit as a backup plan in case we couldn't find cheaper private accommodation, however we tried to cancel hers to move into mine and they let us on the condition she moves in with me, we live in London and couldn't risk not having accommodation so during this time with no response we found a cheaper accommodation, we paid the deposit and already signed the tenancy agreement, however now we are trying to cancel my student accommodation with the uni and they refuse, repeatedly saying its a breach of the contract. All I did was pay the deposit and give the necessary ID. They expect me to pay both rents and refuse to help, we have met very unprofessional staff during our calls to accommodation support, we are planning to contact the student union too as there are some personal reasons as to why we absolutely cannot afford 2 rent payments, can anyone help or give advice? It's causing us a lot of distress as they have even threatened debt, credit score impact and even degrees being held.
