Hendrefoelan Student Village

 

 

Before I came to Swansea, I didn't have a clear picture of what my accommodations would be like. As it turns out, all of us Brad Henry Scholars live in the Hendrefoelan Student Village. It is about a 10 minute bus ride away from uni, but I've taken to walking at least one way, which takes about 25 minutes through some nice neighborhoods and a park.

 

 
There are flats, and there are houses in the Village. I live in a house with 10 private bedroom with 2 shared showers, 1 bath, 2 toilets. The sinks ("hand basins") are in the rooms.
 

 

There isn't an abundance of space in my room, but I think I am using it quite efficiently.

 

 

(My desk is a lot messier now) The radiator keeps me toasty, and my window can lock open if I want fresh air. Also, the curtains block the light really well (it's bad the mornings my alarm didn't go off!)

It's quite nice, except for the lack of fridge/freezer space in the kitche, and the increased number of daddy-long-legs I've been discovering in my room. :[
