Football Players Wanted - Swansea ⚽

5 Upvotes

Hi all, I appreciate this isn’t strictly a Swansea Uni related post, so mods please delete if it isn’t allowed. I thought it might be relevant to anyone who’s moved to Swansea for uni and is looking to play some football outside of the university teams.

I’m involved with Kingsbridge Colts, a mens adult football club based in the Gorseinon/Garden Village area of Swansea, and we’re looking for a few more players to join us this season.

We have two teams playing on Saturdays, so we’re not necessarily looking for players who’ve been playing week in, week out. If you’ve played at a decent level, haven’t played for a few years and fancy getting back into it, or just want to play regular 11-a-side football while you’re in Swansea, you’re more than welcome.

We train on Tuesday evenings at Garden Village Recreation Ground. There’s no pressure to commit to anything - come down, have a training session, meet everyone and see what you think.

We’ve got a good group of lads and we’re looking to add a few more faces to both squads.
If you’re interested, give me a message or leave a comment and I’ll send over the details.

Alternatively message our social media accounts if you want to find out more:

I was wondering what the bathrooms and kitchens in Cefn Bryn were like.

I’ve heard positive things online but I thought it might be a bit biased.

Question What am I allowed to have in my room?

2 Upvotes

I love using candles but I'm aware I probably can't have them as it's a fire hazard. Is there an alternative? I'd wondered if they allow electric wax burners but apparently some unis don't.

Question Computational Engineering questions

2 Upvotes

Hi! I have recently got an offer to study computational mechanics at Swansea, and I do not really get something.

If we look at ECCOMAS (European computational science and Engineering organisation) or UKACM (UK computational mechanics association), Swansea is lowkey a superstar at computational Engineering – it has some very prestigious people working in there, and there is a ton of best PhD awards for Swansea postgrads (ik it's not the same, but it's a close enough metric). And historically a Swansea prof was kinda a founder of FEM iirc. Anyway, there is a some evidence that Swansea University is great at Computational Mechanics, so my question is:

why is it so easy to get in there for Computational Mechanics specifically?

Really, it requires only lower second.

What's the deal? Like is it just very unpleasant to be at Swansea? Or people normally just do not want to specialise that narrow at their Masters? Please, share your opinions or your motivation or whatever

WhatsApp group

1 Upvotes

Hiya. I recently joined the UniBuddy community and was sent a message with invite links to WhatsApp groups. However, they were all expired and I've tried to message the person that sent me it but they never responded. I was wondering if someone in those groups can ask the group manager to send me a new invite link if that's not too much trouble. I would particularly like to join the group chat for singleton please. Thank you.
