My amazing time abroad

Hi, my name is Odelle. I am from New Mexico, USA. I am currently an undergraduate studying Criminal Justice and Forensic Psychology. I studied abroad in Swansea this term and it was life-changing. I got to do and see so many amazing things. I watched Wales beat Italy in rugby. I ate escargot (snails) with my friends in Paris. I explored ancient castles in Wales. I made so many life long friendships with the other study abroad students. I also became really close with my 20 other flatmates. They really took me under their wings and made my experience so much better. I will miss them all so much and I really hope to visit again! I will always be thankful for my time abroad!

Absolutely a roller coaster!

I’ll always fondly remember those first days. I was going up on that roller coaster that was getting higher and higher. I was like a child freaking out with every new thing I experienced and each person I met. It was mixed with those nerves and uncertainty of such an experience like this. But Swansea embraces you quickly. I think I’ve known a few places that are as cool and friendly as that university. And I would say that’s because they’re 100 years ahead. It’s a little oasis within this world of selfishness and borders.

And the roller coaster kept going on, surprising me every day with new turns that made the routine a myth: adventures discovering societies, a day trip to London to vote, the epic Reggaeton parties, long walks on the beach or the smashing mini parties on the bus.

But one day it stopped. We had to get off when there was still the final stretch we had so many plans for. But I just think about how lucky I was to have enjoyed all that for almost six months. I’m carrying those lovely people I found there. I’m carrying that little oasis with me.

An unforgettable experience

When coming to Wales I did not have a lot of expectations and mainly just wanted the opportunity to travel more. During my time at Swansea I really fell in love with the place. I loved being able to go to the coast or into town anytime I wanted. I also loved the pre-sessional course I took that allowed me to meet other study abroad students and to see more of the U.K. on the three trips we went on to the Gower, Bath, and Cardiff. After meeting other study abroad students I was able to plan trips to travel when our class schedules allowed which included trips to London, Scotland, a Six Nations Game in Cardiff, and Malta. All within the three months that I was abroad and before covid-19 became a global pandemic. At Swansea I stayed in the student village which gave me the opportunity to be immersed with Swansea students and find amazing friends. I think living in the student village was really nice because it was inexpensive, I got a bus pass for free by living there, and it really allowed me to meet people abroad and get to know them. Overall, my experience was amazing and I wouldn't trade it for the world. I have the most amazing friends for life, some abroad and some in the states, and the most amazing memories that will never be forgotten.

Once in a lifetime opportunity

I chose Swansea as my study abroad destination because it was the perfect destination for me, personally, to get the full experience of studying abroad. I was able to live in a completely different atmosphere and culture. I genuinely enjoyed my professors at Swansea University, they made my experience abroad so much better. My professors understood the course material and how to teach the material to individuals like myself. I feel like I learned more in my courses than I have in any other course that I have taken previously. My favourite memory of Swansea was during the pre sessional course when our class toured the Gower. I genuinely enjoyed getting to see everything with other students from all over the world. I would definitely recommend Swansea as a study abroad destination because of all the different opportunities the University offers. Not only is there plenty of things to do locally, but it’s also really easy to travel to different places as well!

Memories to last a life time

I chose Swansea as a study abroad destination because I loved the location and size of the city. Being right on the water seemed so unique compared to other universities I looked at and I enjoyed the small quant city rather than a larger one. I loved just about everything about Swansea University, but my favourite thing would have to be the small class sizes and beautiful classrooms. I am a Business major and studying at Bay campus' new classrooms was amazing and I got to know my Professors and other staff personally. My favourite memory of Swansea has to be the lifelong friends I have now made from all over the world; some of my best friends are now from Australia, the U.S, Wales and England. Lastly I would 100% recommend Swansea as a study abroad destination to anyone! It is in such a great location to travel around the United Kingdom and Europe, something that I was able to take advantage of. From the beautiful beach to the nightlife to the community you become apart of, I now have another place to call home and wouldn't imagine it any other way.
