IF I APPLY FOR UNIVERSITY ACCOMMODATION AM I GUARANTEED A ROOM? Yes, as long as you apply for accommodation by 30th June and fulfil the requirements of your academic offer from the University. We recommend that you apply quickly as allocations work on a first come first serve basis. However, we do not guarantee that you will be allocated your first choice of room. WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON’T PAY MY ACCOMMODATION DEPOSIT BEFORE I ARRIVE? WILL I STILL HAVE MY ROOM? If you don’t pay your reservation deposit your room will be cancelled and you will not have accommodation when you arrive. CAN I BOOK A ROOM WHEN I ARRIVE IN SWANSEA? No. We recommend you apply as soon as you can but at least 7 days prior to arrival. If you arrive on campus without making a booking, you will need to check into a hotel or alternative temporary accommodation, as we may not have a room available or ready for your arrival. CAN I REQUEST A SPECIFIC RESIDENCE? Yes. You can state your preferences in the 'Additional Preferences' section on the application form. However, we cannot guarantee that we can meet your request. HOW ARE ROOMS ALLOCATED? WILL I BE LIVING WITH STUDENTS ON THE SAME COURSE? There will be a mixture of students from various countries living together and studying on different courses. However, we will take into consideration the age of students when allocating rooms. CAN I REQUEST ALCOHOL FREE, QUIET, OR SAME SEX ACCOMMODATION? Yes. This is available on request and you must specify on your application form if you would like to live in one of these areas. It is essential that university and private accommodation is booked in advance to avoid any inconvenience on your arrival. FAQS AND KEY FACTS Accommodation
