A very small choice of flats
Only a couple of Swansea properties offer apartments. They suit friends who want a kitchen and lounge of their own.
Before you chooseConfirm if the rent is per person or for the whole flat.
See Swansea apartmentsSwansea University teaches at two seaside campuses, Singleton Park in the west and the Bay Campus on the eastern seafront, while UWTSD sits in the city centre and at SA1. Most properties on our Swansea pages include bills, and rooms start at around £100 a week. Renting here follows Welsh law.
Swansea University accommodation is the city's biggest search, and the university splits teaching between two coastal sites at opposite ends of the seafront. Your department decides which side of the city suits you, so this tab sets out both campuses and the buses between them.
Swansea University describes Singleton Campus as right next to the beach and within walking distance of Singleton Park. The Wales National Pool and an athletics track sit on site. Our Swansea University page lists the private properties nearest each site.
On the eastern seafront, beside the Crymlyn Burrows dunes. Swansea University calls it a beachfront campus with its own setting. Check your timetable early, because a room near Singleton can mean a daily bus ride across the city to reach it.
Our Bay Campus page lists twin rooms, en-suites and one and two bed flats on the campus, from around £140 a week. Living there puts lectures and the beach a short walk apart, with buses into town for evenings out.
The 92. First Bus calls it the quickest link between Singleton and the Bay Campus, while the 91 runs through Sketty and Uplands. The UniBus network also stops in the city centre, so one bus pass covers most student trips.
Yes. First Bus lists the 2A, 3A, 4, 4A and X1 from the centre to Singleton, and the 38, X1, X5 and X7 to the Bay. Coppergate on Kingsway says the bus station is a short walk away, which suits split timetables.
Swansea University confirms that Hendrefoilan, the old off campus village students called HSV, has shut and the site has been cleared. Older forum threads still mention it, so skip any advice built around the village and look at Sketty or Brynmill.
Student houses and private rooms make up the next biggest Swansea searches. Swansea University's own area guide names five districts, from Brynmill beside Singleton Park to Port Tennant near the Bay, and each one suits a different campus and budget.
Swansea University's area guide puts both a 5 to 15 minute walk from Singleton Campus, with plenty of shops, bars and takeaways. Expect flats and bigger shared houses of around five bedrooms. Students on forums point budget hunters towards lower Uplands.
St Helen's Road runs west from the city centre towards Brynmill and the seafront. Boutique Student Living has a page here listing private flats, a gym and a cinema room listed on its page. Town and Singleton both stay within easy reach.
The university's guide puts Sketty 5 to 15 minutes from Singleton Campus on foot, through the park itself. Most houses there have four or five bedrooms, with local shops and takeaways. UniBus 91 also runs through Sketty on its way to the Bay.
Quieter and pricier. The university's guide describes high standard one and two bed en-suite homes by the seafront, a 20 to 25 minute walk from Singleton and ten minutes by bus to the Bay. Crown Place on Kings Road is one example.
Sandfields sits close to the city centre, with shops, bars and restaurants nearby. The university's guide says houses here are smaller, often two or three bedrooms, and Singleton Campus is 15 to 20 minutes away on foot. It suits small friendship groups.
Yes, for many. The university's guide lists St Thomas and Port Tennant as handy for both the Bay Campus and town, with mostly four to six bedroom houses. St Davids on New Cut Road says its rooms suit students of both universities.
University of Wales Trinity Saint David teaches in Swansea on the SA1 waterfront and around Alexandra Road. Both sit within walking distance of the centre, so this tab covers those sites, High Street, the railway station and nights out in town.
At three buildings. The IQ Building stands on Kings Road in SA1, while the Alex and Dynevor buildings of Swansea College of Art sit in the centre. Our University of Wales Trinity Saint David Swansea page lists properties near all three.
SA1 is the waterside district built around the old docks east of the River Tawe. UWTSD says its IQ Building there is within walking distance of the city centre, the bus station and Swansea railway station, so most central rooms work.
Very close. The Alex Building stands at 34 Alexandra Road, and SEREN sits further along the same road at number 66. Its page lists cluster en-suites in ten bed flats, plus a cinema room, a gym and a rooftop terrace.
High Street runs from Swansea railway station down towards the castle and the centre, and several student properties stand along it. Students who travel home by train save a bus ride, and all three UWTSD buildings are a walk away.
Oldway Centre at 39 High Street sorts its rooms by height, and its page places sea view rooms on the upper floors. Lower floors hold smaller en-suites with a small double bed. Ask which floor you are offered before you pay.
Often, at weekends. Wind Street, between the castle and SA1, is the city's best known run of bars and clubs. A room a few streets back keeps the walk home short without the late crowds passing under your window.
Wales has its own renting law, and Swansea's most asked price questions sit right beside it. Here we cover your written statement, deposit protection, single semester terms, average rents, university room fees and how Swansea sits against other cities on our site.
Welsh law renamed tenants: the Renting Homes (Wales) Act calls people who rent contract holders. The Welsh Government says landlords must hand over a written statement within 14 days of your move in date. It sets out your rights, so keep it safe.
In an approved scheme. The Welsh Government checklist gives landlords 30 days from payment to protect it, and 14 days from move in to supply an electrical condition report. Note the scheme name and save the email that confirms it.
Sometimes. true Swansea on Morfa Road has offered terms from one semester up to a full year, and its page quotes a 29 minute bus ride to Swansea University. Weekly rates on shorter terms usually run higher, so price the total.
Around £155 a week. That is the middle rent across the longer contracts on our Swansea pages, and most include bills. A few rooms start at around £100, while one and two bed flats on the Bay Campus pass £200.
Swansea sits in the lower priced third of the UK cities on our site. Its middle rent of around £155 a week falls below a national middle of roughly £185. Ty Nant on High Street is one central example, with bills included.
Around £185 a week for a Bay Campus medium en-suite, on the university's own fees page, with one bed flats higher. Students on forums advise first years to start in university rooms, then move to a shared house in Brynmill or Uplands.
