Aww that means you wouldn't have been to Bay campus!

Singleton looks ugly imo. The buildings need refurbishing!

Hsv is alive but the cons are

15 -20mins bus ride to singleton
40 mins to Bay

But I enjoy bus rides aha

If you live in a house where your room is next to the main road then you may lack sleep

@Proxenus I am genuinely having the biggest dilemma!

I really love Swansea and I really love Cardiff but I cannot choose which one i love most :rofl:

Clearly Swansea have waaaay better stats that Cardiff but I love them equally

Can you give me proper honest pros and cons of the uni? :biggrin:

Cons

Bus journey from hsv is at least 15mins
More boys than girls by a fair amount

I can't think of anything else but I'm sure there's more!

Is there anything you want me to comment about in particular?

Medical genetics!☺️ I went to the genetics talks where I got to speak to lots of the lectures and current 3rd year students, and also had a look at the singleton campus accommodation, which yes it's not as new as the bay campus but the rooms are actually really nice compared to some of the unis!☺️

i posted a few pics of bay above.

I read it was in top 10 engineering colleges.

Swansea will rise in ranks as the faculties in bay are good

bay,imo, is really simple and basic but the buildings are spectacular

most people go library at bay in their free time. the library is quite small compared to main campus uni but has expensive equipment like chairs, desks, chargers etc. you can also chill in the cafes

theres still loads of space but i don't know whats it used for. Im hoping a football pitch or a new college as theres too many guys here

I'm familiar with Swansea as a city already, and I love the beaches in the area.

I spoke to a couple who live in the accom. In singleton, they were really positive about the place (but then again, they had to be for show) :tongue:

Singleton campus does look really worn down, but I think they're planning on refurbishing?? I'm not sure, so don't take my word for it :biggrin:

bay campus looks awesome though

Just an fyi, they're holding like visit days (like open days but smaller) in February/March! :smile:
