We cannot wait to welcome you in September

We cannot wait to welcome you in September…can you believe Freshers Week is just 12 weeks away?!

Moving away from home is an exciting time and Swansea has a range of accommodation options for you to choose from. Adapted rooms are available for anyone with special requirements, including wheelchair users, and there are designated areas for those who want to be with like-minded people – including fellow Welsh-speakers and those who prefer alcohol-free or quiet space.

Whether you want to live in our halls on campus, in our suburban student village, or in one of the nearby private properties managed by our Student Accommodation Services (SAS) letting agency, the University’s Residential Services Team is there to ensure that you choose the accommodation that is perfect for you.
