The Unversity campus is well situated in Cardiff, with many things well placed and most of the accommodation a short walk from campus. The students union is excellent in all aspects, there are plenty of extra curricular activities and events. Cleanliness and maintenance of some of the older parts of campus could be improved and a more initial information on how things work (ie entrance to the taf requires a student id) would be appreciated.

As a student representative for my year I get a very good idea for how students feel about the course and to summarise the majority of feedback both personal and from other students is poor, but improving in the second semester. Content and information is poorly organised and decent co-ordination between modules is non existent, I cannot comment on placement opportunities as that is not relevant to me yet. Tutor contact time which I took to mean general contact time with lecturers is only 6 hours compared to the 15-20 hours promised. Facilities are good but their is overcrowding which is unacceptable for a 2 year old building (Abacws).

The halls are only a 17-minute walk from my building which is good, they are reasonably well-priced especially given the cost of living crisis. Property management is usually good, cleaners sometimes don't come when they say they will and there was a data breach with a spreadsheet with contact information being sent to many students. Safety is generally good but the fire-alarm is often set of accidentally and a few weeks ago there was a fire in the stairway, and we had to wait outside for 2 hours at 3am in January. Never had any problems with the wifi except for a few initial configuring issues and certain devices such as my switch not being able to connect.

The location is perfect it’s just 5mins from student accommodation, the facility’s are perfect for my course.

My course is fantastic, we are always learning and we have fab lectures and tutors that answer all our questions and help us with anything we may need. I wish that there were more skills labs for us to do more exciting practical things. Placement hours are great and split up well, and we have a lot of support with placement.

Perfect location right next to my uni, and transport to placement, it felt very safe as it was gated, has security and cameras. It had all the kitchen equipment we needed except an iron and working hoover. Only negative is that the lift was always broken
