About
If you’re looking for student accommodation in Swansea, Student.com offers some great options for you. We list centrally-located properties from trusted landlords, who specialise in student accommodation. This means you’ll be able to live with other students right in Swansea city centre.
Swansea is Wales’ Waterfront City, a bustling hub of shops, restaurants and entertainment across a stretch of Swansea Bay. When you live here you’ll be able to step outside onto the 5-mile long Swansea Beach, ideal for relaxing, sunbathing, or, if you’re feeling energetic, swimming and windsurfing.
Wander the friendly streets and you’ll find a myriad of shops selling everything from designer fashion to local delicacies such as Welsh cakes and cockles. Stop at Attica for quirky homewares and upcycled treasures to decorate your room.
As for food, the choice of great restaurants is wide and varied. Savour the good old British fish and chips on the seafront or go with the crowds to the Uplands Diner to try their famous Mega Beast breakfast - if you dare!
When the great outdoors calls, the beautiful Gower Peninsula is close by with its wild moors, limestone cliffs and picturesque village of Mumbles. Go horse riding on the beach, try paragliding or grab a book and simply relax among the heather, taking in the sea views. You’ll understand why this was chosen as Wales’s first official Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
You can enjoy a great night out in Swansea, with Wind Street in the city centre being especially famous for having lots of bars, nightclubs and restaurants. Uplands, located about one mile west of the city centre, is another area with plenty of bars and cafés as well as an outdoor market on the last Saturday of every month.
When you feel like being cultural, the Dylan Thomas Centre is a great choice. Located in the Maritime Quarter in a building that used to be the city’s Guildhall, the centre celebrates the life and works of Dylan Thomas, the world-famous Welsh poet who was born in Swansea.
When you want to get some fresh air and hang out with you new friends from university at the same time, there are several parks in Swansea. For example Clyne Gardens, Cwmdonkin Park and Brynmill Park are close to the city centre. Brynmill Park is also home to the Swansea Botanical Gardens.
