-Boring city-I applied for 100 jobs-Only one job accept me but they are not serious after I extend my stay and visa waste my time and money.-everything expensive-university hard study accurate in all details.
Trustpilot
Swansea University clearly state on their website that permits are required between 8am and 4 pm Mon to Friday (still states this , and using wayback machine as far back as 16/06/2023) and yet they fine parents visiting thier kids on weekends. I have been fighting TotalParkingsolutions and BWLegal for over 3 years now over this nonsense. Thier page is very misleading .
