It was a huge house with independent bedroom and with shared kitchen and living room. It was a great experience for me to live with people coming not only from Wales but also from other countries

The accomodation in the Student Village is very comfortable, even it is far away from the Campus there are good bus linkages. Above all it is a very International Village and this is very stimulating!

At the beginnig I had some problems in understanding the english spoken by native welsh people but after a couple of month I was fine with it. When I started understanding and speaking a good English it hasn't been hard to interatct also with English students

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.

I am happy with my choice. It has been great to share a house with people of other nationalities even if I would have preferred at least a English to share the flat with us.
