The Virgin Alternative Guide to British Universities
Once your at University, its important to balance serious study with getting out and about and experiencing life. Living in Swansea brings you all the benefits of living in a city, plus the benefits of living by the sea. Many of our graduates choose to stay here long after their studies.
Visit • The Marina. Start at the centre of Swansea, and make your way down Wind Street, the famous pubs-andclubs street, to the Maritime Quarter. You’ll find fresh marina scenery, sailing, exhibitions, pubs, places to eat, and the beach beyond.
Shop • In the Quadrant, Swansea’s up-to-date indoor complex, which has a host of high-street names. But if it’s Dylan Thomas’ Swansea you’re in search of, visit the traditional covered market • great for fresh produce and seafood. Experience • The Dylan Thomas Centre and enjoy the exhibitions on Dylan Thomas’ life, or learn about Welsh industry and innovation at Swansea’s brand new National Waterfront Museum. The Grand Theatre presents live performances all year-round and is one of Britain’s finest regional theatres. Unwind • On the beach. Beginning just to the west of the University, the 19-mile Gower Peninsula is the UK’s first designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It’s easy to see why. Every link in its chain of long, sandy beaches and rocky coves is unique. The coastline is simply one of the most dramatic and picturesque in the UK. Explore • The Gower coastline. Its network of tracks and footpaths are ideal for walkers and hikers. The beaches are popular with hang-gliders, rock climbers, horse riders and water skiers, and are a Mecca for surfers. Field trips to the peninsula are part of life for students studying natural sciences. The Gower provides a natural field laboratory for the University • particularly in the study of marine life. Discover • The Brecon Beacons. Lying to the north of Swansea, these mountains are astonishing to look at and great to climb. From the heights you get panoramic views across the surrounding area to the sea. Caves, waterfalls and craft centres can be found between peaks. If you prefer glorious countryside, then travel west to the Towy Valley. Here you’ll find castles at Carreg Cennen, Dinefwr and Dryslwyn, along with plenty of fresh air and acres of wide open space. Live • What makes the city of Swansea so easy is its manageable size. Nothing is too far away from the centre. Getting lost is difficult. Regular buses run to and from Swansea centre, so getting around is simple. Good coach, rail and motorway connections provide excellent links to many other cities in the UK. You can even catch the ferry to Ireland.
Relax • In Swansea’s central multi-screen cinema, which features the latest film releases, plus a bowling centre and bar. At night, the city centre offers a wide choice of clubs,
bars and restaurants or there is always the famous Mumbles Mile!
