Swansea University - Applying for Accommodation

Applying for Accommodation

The application process is slightly different for different categories of students.

Residences Exterior
Before making an application for accommodation please think carefully about what residence will best suit your requirements and budget. Places in residence are not allocated until a student's place at the University is confirmed. For most students details of the accommodation which has been arranged for them will be sent shortly after 'A' level results are published. Some residences fill up very quickly indeed, no student in any category is guaranteed a place in a particular residence.  For more information please see:   Student Accommodation Brochure 2009
