The ‘Cardiff Met’ community is really good in general. On the other side, there isn’t enough parking for all students and the breaks in the day could be thought about better

I like the community feel on campus, I studied undergrad here and loved it! I don’t like the journey but that’s not something that can be changed, I think son lectures could be online rather than in person

Cardiff met univeristy has been a brillaint place to go to as a student so far as I have found the process of settling in easy due to the lecturers as they helped me with work and also helping accessing different elements of the univeristy experince.I have created very good friends since coming to this university who want to follow the same path as me. By discussing the negatives the only thing I can think of is Moodle,I belive there’s better formats thr university can use instead thst make it easier for the first year students to use and That are more familiar with (Classrooms)

At cardiff met your more than a number, the size of the uni allows you to have a better relationship with lecturers which only helps when it comes to assignments. The sports facilities are great, however our student union is rather small

The course has been really good. I've learned and consolidated a lot of information from my previous degree to my teacher training. The staff have been lovely and student services have been supportive of my mental health and studies. Everyone works as a team to secure the best out of us students and it's why I chose this university.

The teachers are really understanding, they look after the students and provide them with solutions to their problems. The university provides everything from restaurants, to IT rooms, gym and social rooms such as the “bench”. The university could improve into making an SU which is bigger and outside campus that could include a PUB and a club and run different events there just like Cardiff University. This would not only help with the funds of the university as they would make a huge profit after the investment since student uni would go there and spend money on tickets, food and drinks but will also give the students a much better social life although it’s already excellent.
