    • I think my uni is really supportive. They offer good lecturers, a range of courses and are great at putting out information on time. Some aspects could be improved. I believe my course could in areas as well as the accommodation on site.

    • The support I have received for academic and health is on the whole, pretty good. The only downside to the health aspect is that this takes a long time to come through- even just waiting on appointment times.

    • I'm in my 4th year now and my experience in Swansea University was nothing but great. Even though my first two years were still during covid regulations, the lecturers were very well prepared for it. I find so much support from them and enjoyed the four years.

    • It's right on the beach, so when the weather is nice, there's always something to do. It's also right by town, so easy access to the nightlife, which I believe run regular student nights.
