    Just a general chat thread for people starting Swansea University, and for existing students.

    I'm a 3rd year Law student. Anyone got any questions feel free to ask

    Penmaen halls are really nice! Thank yourself that you're not in kilvey or something which are hideous. Penmaen halls are reasonably new. I didn't live there but i did some campaigning at the end of last year which meant i had to go round the whole blocks of flats!

    Swansea is awesome i'm going in to third year doing English Lit. What are you planning on doing?

    Hey guys. I'm starting second year this Sept. Last year I lived off campus in private due to being a late applicant. For this year coming I applied nice and early and got on campus. Does anyone what the rooms are like in Cefn Bryn? I think I'll be on the 9th floor so a sea facing room would be sweet. Also does anyone what the smoking policy is in rooms/kitchen.
    Cheers.

    Lucky. I'm on first floor so probably be hearing loads of people talking and stuff during the night since you have to go out by the entrance for a smoke.

    It's just a bit rough around the edges

    Nah it's just older than the others which are relatively new, is that where you've been put?

    I have no choice but to move in on the 25th since it's the only time I can be taken up there. I'm really looking forward to Swansea too, just gotta get in first.
