๐ฌ๐ง Hidden Gem Seaside University Town: Swansea, Wales ๐๐
Last weekend, I visited Swansea in Wales! Originally planned to see the stunning Rhossili Bay and wild ponies ๐ด, plus check out CRM Students' Swansea-Seren accommodation for a family friend's daughter. The forecast promised sunshine โ๏ธ, but reality brought muggy heat + sudden rain ๐ฆ๏ธ + me missing the Rhossili bus. As a true "P-person", I improvised: toured the student apartment, explored nearby, and enjoyed coffee instead โ. Turned into a spontaneous train day tripโbut luckily, the railway views were gorgeous! ๐๐จ ๐ Transport London Paddington โ Swansea Bought Super Off-Peak round-trip tickets (any train allowed!). ~2h 45m one way. ๐ To Rhossili Beach (for next time!) Bus 118/119 from Swansea Bus Station (1h 20m). โ ๏ธ Plan carefullyโmiss one bus, wait 1 hour! ๐ Seaside Student Accommodation CRM Students๏ฝSwansea-Seren ๐ Location Perks: 2 mins walk to train station ๐ 10 mins to Swansea Bay Beach ๐ (sunset strolls, anyone?) 25 mins by bus to Swansea University ๐ 4-28 mins walk to UWTSD campuses ๐ซ ๐ Amenities: Free gym ๐๏ธ & bike rentals ๐ฒ Study rooms ๐, cinema room ๐ฌ, shared kitchens Rooftop terrace ๐, landscaped courtyard ๐ฟ Karaoke room ๐ค + game room ๐ฎ (I joked: "Could live here without leaving!") ๐ก Why Swansea?
