This is why you should consider Swansea University...

Look at this photo!!

THats not Swansea

Yes. Because having a wonderful sandy beach will make you enjoy university and get a 1st....

Well, it's much better than being in the middle of a city...put it that way!

.. If you like beaches.

Yes....it's good to know that there's a gorgeous beach next to the campus, not that you'll be visiting it that much since you spend 3 months of summer at home during the vacation

oi why did i get bad repped for this thread?

I go to Swansea, and in the summer term the last 2 years I've been to various beaches lots of times. BBQs on the beach are especially nice...

There's lots more to Swansea than a beach and a swimming pool! For example - great sports reputation and facilities (hosting the British University Games next year), maritime quarter, street market and Wind Street in town, low rent, friendly campus, great research reputation, many academic departments rated excellent in teaching, lots of cultural events on campus, great nights out...

The location (beachfront, Singleton Park, Gower peninsula, Brecon Beacons etc) is just the icing on the cake!

I think the university is undeservedly underrated sometimes.

I absolutely love it, anyway (in case you hadn't guessed already...!)

Fluffy - I know there's a Geography ball, but I don't know if there's a beach party. I think I heard something about it, so maybe it is still on...

Ohh! The beach party was organised by the Geog Soc, but was a uni wide thing, with buses going to Caswell from town, Campus, Cline, Beck and Hendre (ala Summer ball stylee).

There was a huge sound stage with fab bands, bottle bars and usually Swansea Sound or Red Dragon FM covering it and providing music in the gaps between bands. If it still happened you would know about it!
