[@GQytnetwork]

Good video, it's nice to watch an objective review of Swansea life. I grew up in France, arrived in Swansea thanks to Erasmus. Me and my mates loved it so much that I stayed an extra year to graduate a Bachelor (before going to Oxford for a Master degree). Life, people, environment, nightlife all is great. Weather can be cold in winter but usually spring and summer are great and not rainy, for instance no rain from April to June when I was asked to work fulltime on my Major project at Uni, was quite difficult. Uplands, Bryn y Mor areas are nice, marina too. Mumbles and the Gower are a must go during weekends.

[@TeuluTribe]

That’s sick! Yes the cold isn’t great, but that’s just the UK eh 😆 we spend every day in the Gower in summer and it’s definitely the place to be!

[@joonie3100]

Hi I really liked your video!!!! I am an international student (currently studying at Swansea online), I am planning on moving to Swansea for the next term. How would it be best to travel to Swansea? like which is the easiest and most convenient way - do I fly in to Heathrow airport and take a train to Swansea? or take a bus?

[@TeuluTribe]

Hi! Thanks for the reply. It depends on where you are coming from but if it’s close Europe, sometimes you can fly in to Bristol or Cardiff but if not getting a flight to Heathrow, then a train to Paddington station and another train to Swansea is easy! Good luck :)

[@neallewis8628]

if you into heathrow or gatwick - there is a national express coach service to swansea from the airports, or get to paddinton via the tube or train network from heathrow and train to swansea. Cardiff is a little more tricky as not well linked to public transport - no idea how bristol links in either but both have train station in city centre away from aiports you could then get a train.

[@smaouh]

I like your accent 😍

[@limecloud8522]

What accommodation would you recommend looking into if people do get into Swansea ?

[@TeuluTribe]

First year I would recommend looking on the campus your course is, then after that, I would recommend looking in either brynmill, uplands or town!

[@hemingway3508]

From your experience, is Swansea popular with international students? Im applying from Canada but I am afraid of feeling alienated.

[@TeuluTribe]

Yes! I have lots of friends who are international students- the great sports and societies make sure everyone is included, wherever they are from!

[@peterdavies2058]

This is slightly crazy. This is the first video of yours I've watched because Swansea is one of my top university options and my dream since the start of lock down has been to circumnavigate the globe. So it's really odd to see someone doing what I intend to do. What is the sailing community like in Swansea? Is there much opertunity for racing or crewing?

[@TeuluTribe]

We both met at Swansea uni and loved our time there! Me and Becka were never big members of the sailing club as we were already involved with a few other clubs. However, they do hold regular socials and hold race practices. There is also definitely opportunities to crew on boats in the marina too! 😄

[@briandavies2387]

@@TeuluTribe Bournemouth has seven miles of golden sandy beaches. Unlike Swansea the tide does not go out for miles. The Gower has three cliffs bay and Rhosilli, but Dorset has Poole Bay, Brownsea Island, Shell Bay, Studland Bay and many more. Studland is a protected National Trust area with some of the rarest reptiles seen in Britain. Bournemouth Promenade has cafes, restaurants and bars. Not many, if any on Swansea Prom. Bournemouth to Heathrow 1.5 hrs by coach, non stop from Ringwood. Anywhere in the world from there. No waterfalls though in Bournemouth. However, we have the outstanding New Forest 20 minutes away, with unlimited adventure activities. Direct Ferry to France (Cherbourg), ferry to the Isle of Wight from Lymington. Take your pick, you can't go wrong. As for me, I am born and bred Swansea but absolutely love Dorset and the New Forest. Lots of history here too. If you want a big City with a huge retail environment, then Southampton is 30 minutes away - complete with IKEA. Oh, and the weather is better here on the South Coast.

[@TeuluTribe]

@@briandavies2387 I like Bournemouth, don't get me wrong, but i love how empty the Swansea beaches are and also the waves are worldclass which is important to me as i surf! But obviously its all personal preference. I almost picked Southhampton but don't love cities so i made the decision for Swansea instead and am very happy here. We just drive to Cardiff or Bristol for more shops which is fun as it feels like a road trip :) Theres also gorgeous restaurants and cafes in mumbles- its a fun walk/skate there which we do between lectures. Like you said though, just personal preference and it should really be about student satisfaction and how good the courses are!
