Freshers 2026: DAYTIME EXPERIENCES

Freshers starts long before the lights go down.

Our daytime programme is all about getting out, exploring Swansea, meeting new people and making the most of your first few weeks at uni - whether you want adventure, something chilled, or just somewhere to hang out with your new mates.

🍻 JC’S

Your campus. Your mates. Your new local.

JC’s is the perfect place to grab a coffee, meet up with friends or hang out between lectures.

Expect drinks, board games, pool, darts and good vibes, with plenty of space to chill, chat and get to know your new mates.

Open Monday–Friday, 10am until late.
