Cardiff is an outstanding place to study, there is so many facilities like libraries, study areas located all over the city, making study spaces accessible to all, which is vital during our studies! There is also a lot of support for student by the lecturers, who give office hours to have conversations when help is needed with essay, aswell as constant email updates ensuring we know there is support out there! There’s also student mentors, who often set up group meetings to ensure we understand the content and whether we have any questions. student life at Cardiff is exceptional, there are many events like Bingo Lingo, the Taff quiz, that help bring students together to enjoy their spare time and make the university experience so much more than just studying! Cardiff is such a special place, and already it feels like home! The only improvement i can think of, is the lectures, sometime it feels not very structured, more read of a powerpoint, i think in some cases they could be more engaging! But overall, i feel happy with the level of education i am gaining! The campuses are clean constantly, and the look of the old style buildings make it so much more enjoyable to learn in, it’s much more motivating! Cardiff University is the place to be, and when my younger friends ask me what university to apply for, i tell them Cardiff University is exceptional and they should want to be here!

My course is interesting, although in all honesty the start i am not enjoying since it’s just the foundations of social sciences first, the modules of criminology are amazing! They are always engaging and so fascinating, the lecturers are exceptional and communicate very well with the class. The courses social science side can be interesting, and although i may find some of it not as fascinating, I know it’s needed in the long run for a perfect understanding of the social sciences.

The University Halls are overall amazing! I’ve met the bestest of friends where i am, and the living area is perfect for hanging with friends and doing work! The kitchens get cleaned so often by the cleaners, who are absolutely amazing at what they do, especially as we know how students can be, messy!! I’ve had a few problems with my roofing, but i’ve had multiple people out to help fix this problem, they’ve been very supporting and reassuring which is amazing! Overall, TalyBont South is such a thrilling place to live in, constant student life and people to be around, whenever someone asks me what accommodation to apply for I tell them this is where they want to be, for the fullest university experience!
