Im off to do a MSc at Swansea Uni in September

good areas to find a flat? any areas to avoid living? Would Cardiff be to live and commute into Swansea?

cardiff to swansea would be about a 3 hour commute each day

(on the train). Swansea isn't THAT bad ;)

About an hours drive

student flats

Im trying to avoid other students mostly.

I only have to attend Uni two days a week, the rest of the time i will be working (probably in England) so Im flexbile about where to live.

What is Cardiff like?

cardiff is good, basically.

and near to bristol and not too far from london.

cardiff is nice

a bit small as cities go but there are some good clubs etc, and great shops once you get off the main street. LOADS of students though, about a tenth of the city's population.

If you're

only there two days a week, Cardiff is a good option. You might find it better to get the bus, even, and it's not too long. If you can drive, it's even easier.
