Finding Student Accommodation

Around 31,000 students study in the Welsh city of Swansea and there are 11 different halls of residence to choose from.

Swansea is a great place for water sports fans or if you are looking for a more relaxed place to study. The campus is located right on the seafront so offers numerous water sports for you to try. It is easy to walk and cycle around Swansea but there is also a Unibus which runs 24 hours a day during term time. The city is well connected by rail to major cities. Quadrant Shopping Centre is full of well known stores and is adjoined to the famed Swansea Market where you can find more local retailers and produce. The Brecon Beacons is around a 40-minute drive away and great for hikes with friends at the weekend. There are also plenty of green spaces and parks scattered all over Swansea, including Singleton Park. Further along the coast you can find the Gower Peninsula, renowned for its stunning coastline and beautiful beaches. Find out more about Swansea

All the Answers You Need About Student Accommodation

What tenancy length do I need?

Some students choose to stay during the academic year, whilst others – particularly international students – require a tenancy that covers the entire year. You can also find student accommodation that is available for one or two terms, classified as a “short stay” on our search filters.

Should I stay in catered student accommodation?

This is totally up to you! Catered accommodation means you will be served meals at set times in a dining hall, and you’ll likely have access to fewer kitchen facilities than if you were to stay in self-catered accommodation.

What is a guarantor and do I need one?

A guarantor is a person who signs a contract to agree to pay your rent if you are unable to. Most university accommodation requires a guarantor, and this applies to both domestic and international students.

Will I need to pay a deposit on student accommodation?

Most likely, yes, you’ll need to pay a deposit. This will be refunded at the end of your stay as long as there is no damage to the room or property.

What bills will my rent include?

If you are staying in university-run accommodation or private halls, your rent should include any utilities such as electricity, gas, water, and internet. Students are not required to pay council tax, however you may need to fill in an exemption form so make sure you check with your local council.

What is purpose-built student accommodation?

Purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) are residential buildings designed for students. They are often located close to campus, boast modern facilities, include all bills, and often have staff on site to assist residents.

Will my student accommodation be furnished?

Student accommodation is typically fully furnished. Your room should include at least a bed, clothes storage, desk and chair. You’ll likely need to bring things such as bedding and kitchen utensils, but we have a full list here of everything you’ll need.
