🇬🇧 Hidden Gem Seaside University Town: Swansea, Wales 🌊📚
Last weekend, I visited Swansea in Wales! Originally planned to see the stunning Rhossili Bay and wild ponies 🐴, plus check out CRM Students' Swansea-Seren accommodation for a family friend's daughter. The forecast promised sunshine ☀️, but reality brought muggy heat + sudden rain 🌦️ + me missing the Rhossili bus. As a true "P-person", I improvised: toured the student apartment, explored nearby, and enjoyed coffee instead ☕. Turned into a spontaneous train day trip—but luckily, the railway views were gorgeous! 🚞💨 🚄 Transport London Paddington → Swansea Bought Super Off-Peak round-trip tickets (any train allowed!). ~2h 45m one way. 🚌 To Rhossili Beach (for next time!) Bus 118/119 from Swansea Bus Station (1h 20m). ⚠️ Plan carefully—miss one bus, wait 1 hour! 🏠 Seaside Student Accommodation CRM Students|Swansea-Seren 📍 Location Perks: 2 mins walk to train station 🚉 10 mins to Swansea Bay Beach 🌊 (sunset strolls, anyone?) 25 mins by bus to Swansea University 🎓 4-28 mins walk to UWTSD campuses 🏫 🌟 Amenities: Free gym 🏋️ & bike rentals 🚲 Study rooms 📖, cinema room 🎬, shared kitchens Rooftop terrace 🌆, landscaped courtyard 🌿 Karaoke room 🎤 + game room 🎮 (I joked: "Could live here without leaving!") 💡 Why Swansea? A quirky, affordable uni town with big-city-quality student housing—minus the chaos! 🏴✨ #UKStudentLife #StudyAbroad #SwanseaUniversity #SeasideTown #LondonDayTrip #WalesTravel
