Hello there! Just getting my results sorted, apparently there was missing information aka results, however I had already sent them a month ago :')

Regardless it's getting sorted now :smile:

I actually just wanted an update on how bad the damage was on the engineering central after the fire there?

Hey @Eolopolo,

The Uni and the Fire Service are still assessing the extent of the damage, but I believe that the architecture of the building helped to contain it so it sounds like the damage isn't too extensive (we hope!). There will definitely be some more updates over the next few days.

Thanks,

Beth :smile:

Hi @Eolopolo

Glad everything is sorted for you! :smile:

Thank you for your concern about Engineering Central The University and the Fire Service is still assessing the extent of the damage, but the fire was contained within Engineering Central. The campus is operating normally and the fire service will be mounting an investigation into the cause of the fire. Luckily, no one was inside the building and we are so grateful for the prompt action of the fire service!

This is a really good article that explains what Swansea Uni is doing about accommodation and freshers this year.

That awesome :smile:
Congratulations @togs11 and @Eolopolo! :biggrin:

I'd recommend checking out our Engineering Ambassador Chat as it's a good opportunity to chat to current students of Swansea, get a feel for what to expect in your first year, ask any questions you may have about your course and more!

We can't wait to welcome you to Swansea this September, if there is anything I can do to help between now and then, please let me know!

I accepted my insurance offer from Swansea to study Accounting and Finance and I'm excited. Got my accomodation offer for Bay Campus today.

Do supermarkets deliver to Bay Campus where I can meet the driver wherever they can park? Also for moving in day, where should my parents park? And also how does parcel delivery work at Bay. And do they take from any courier? Thanks in advance :smile:

Hi.
Congratulations!
Supermarkets do deliver to bay campus usually you arrange to meet them outside Tesco on campus.
On moving in day you will be directed on where to park so that you are the closest to your block as possible so to unload your car. The campus is clearly signposted for you to aid you in finding your block car parking area.
Parcels and letters should be addressed to your flat address. All mail will go to the parcel room in bay campus reception in the tower. Accommodation will then distribute letters to your flat postboxes and email you to inform you that you have a parcel. During parcel room opening hours you can collect your parcel from the parcel room. They accept parcels from anyone, the problem is whether parcel firms will leave parcels with them. Please bear in mind that the parcel room is shut on a weekend. Royal Mail know this so won’t attempt delivery but parcel companies will and will put it down as a failed attempt and may return parcel to sender (this has happened to me many times).

OK thank you for the information. Glad to know supermarket delivery is possible will likely make ordering longer life food and drink much easier than carrying it all on a bus from town. Will also be careful to make sure parcels don't get delivered on weekends :smile: very helpful stuff!
