Three doctors are available at this office which is a five-minute walk from campus. Usually, if students are sharing the house or an apartment in the residence hall, they will be living with 4 or 5 other students. You should get yourself a Hotmail, Yahoo, or other free internet e-mail number before you leave so that you can keep in touch with everyone back home while you are in Europe. You will also be given an student ID card which gives you access to the Swansea Institute's computer system, e-mail provider and the internet. Your ID card also gives you access to the library and all the materials you will need to plan your lessons.
Pay phones are available in each of the halls.
In the past, students have found that they had difficulty utilizing their U.S. phone cards in these phones. While many students want to come back in time for their graduation ceremonies, many others stay on and travel with friends and families around Europe for two or more weeks. Usually, when booking tickets, the supervising faculty member will give students the option of purchasing open-ended tickets. But, if you know that you want to return in time for graduation, book the return flight before leaving America. In the past, students have always included Paris and Rome, but others have gone farther afield to Athens or spent half their time in Italy.
