Alpha Evans, Student

"When applying for a place at university, it was vital for me to consider a university where I was able to continue living my life through the medium of Welsh. Therefore, when I learned that it was possible to apply for accommodation specifically for Welsh speakers at Swansea University, I was very keen to choose the university as my first choice. Living in accommodation for Welsh speakers means that I can socialise with other people in the accommodation in my first language, and because this is something familiar between us, it was much easier to get to know other people and make new friends."

Macsen Davies, Students' Union Welsh Affairs Officer

"Being away from home can be scary but the option to live in accommodation with other Welsh speakers is amazing! By applying to live in accommodation for Welsh speakers, you will be part of the University's Welsh speaking community. Being able to socialise through the medium of Welsh will make it easier for you to get to know your peers. Take advantage of this opportunity and we very much look forward to welcoming new residents to Aelwyd Penmaen and Aelwyd Emlyn in September and to see the Welsh community develop further at Swansea University."
