Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
i will choose the same for independence: come back home when you want, also because it wasn't far from the institute and the city centre

Personal comments
first, i have had a bedroom in the campus but i decided to change because ther was too much noise. It is easy to find a house to rent and to share with other student. The prices are almost all the same. But i was lucky to be with clean people,. It is not always the case. So be carefull with who you would be!

Personal comments
What it's amazing in Swansea is that you can go out every night! On monday , try the Time the biggest club and on wednesday the Spoofer (far more small but friendly). As far as the pubs are concerned, Orange house is the newest one and always busy. But try also the Walkabout, Indigo, The square and the 7 others! There are all in the same street.

Personal comments
at the begin it was a little hard, and people had to repeat several time . it was not a problem for some people, but the others did not try to repeat. After few months it became easier. I really improve my english thanks to the students who take time to talk with me and the teacher.
