Every year, students elect 5 officers to represent them on a full-time basis, and it's their role to help students have a great time at University. We encourage students to chat to the officers whenever they are dissatisfied with anything at University or if they have an idea of how things could be better.
Their contact information can be found at swansea-union.co.uk/about/contacts.
Encourage your child to contact their future housemates via the halls of residence Facebook groups. This way, students will be able to plan who brings what for the flat, so you won't have to buy as much.
The bus service now runs 24/7, so students will save a lot of money on taxis by making the initial investment in a bus pass at the start of term.
The TOTUM card gives students year-round discounts at over 150 brands. They can be purchased at the SU stand during the arrivals weekend.
