"Swansea Metrapolitan University is a ten minute walk from Swansea City town centre and not far from Wind Street where there are many restaurants and pubs for a great nightlife or just go out for a meal with your mates. If not the Kingsway has many nightclubs for the more adventrus student to have a great night out. However if you are not the kind of student who likes the nightlife and want to do something else then Parc Tawe has Odeon Cinema and Megabowl for a fun day/night out. In the day Swansea has the beautiful Gower where Three cliffs is a wondeful place to walk, to chill out away from studying and a gentle exercise to keep fit at the same time, as well as many local parks around Swansea."
