IT could have been more central and rooms could have been bigger, but people there couldn't have been better.

Housing
Type of housing: A room exchange
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
At Swansea I lived in a castle annex which was about ten miles from the university and another ten from the town centre. Transportation was available by bus from the annex into both the campus and town, but it was very unreliable. If I were to go back, I would choose to live on campus because that is where I spent most of my time and the transportation from campus to the city centre ran more regularly.

Overall, the housing I lived in was inhabitable. I was provided with the essentials I needed for dormitory life. However, because of the remote location, it was difficult to get to the university and into the town centre, so I felt a bit isolated, although I did take the opportunity to rent a bike on a few occasions so that I could get around more efficiently. Living in the castle annex was inexpensive, especially considering that the cost included a meal plan. However, the food provided at the school was below par and I felt that my dietary needs were not met because of the lack of fruits, vegetables and other fresh foods. Because I was buying my own food at the market and preparing my meals, rather than eating the school's, I was spending more money than I had originally intended. I set up two meetings with the head master of the annex, both times requesting to be taken off of the meal plan for the aforementioned reasons and was denied my request.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I had my own room but at the same time there were common ones where you could talk and share experiences with your flat mates. My flat mates became my family and at the same time,certainly, my best friends during my time in Swansea. I do not think I would of had got this if I had lived somewhere else. We had our own kitchen so I could do my own cooking and I did not have to share the kitchen with twenty students as you have to if you live in a residence.

I think it is really well organised. There is plenty of space for almost all students, and they can offer you lots of accommodation possibilities as : Residences, Houses,etc. Their prices are quite good.
