Architectural History postgraduate degrees

The facilities are very nice and it's location is super convenient, the only current issue I have is student support services they took a very long time to solve an issue with my enrolment which has caused me a vast number of issues with student finances and such.

I love all the student deals. However, I feel like many of the student activity processes could be streamlined as it seems so overwhelming as a foreigner/first-year. Like, having to book a ticket, but then still waiting in line or an event being overbooked via ticketing that people are dissuaded to come. Then, when the event takes place, the ticket holders don’t even come.

Best aspects would definitely be the people and the location. By the beach but with safe and lively night life, which in my opinion is important for most undergrad students, also the welsh are lovely and friendly. It depends on the area but overall the city feels extremely safe which was important for me. Some of the buildings on the old campus (singleton) look a bit run-down especially when the sun isn't out so it might be worth them revamping some buildings to make certain parts look less depressing. But again thats only a few, and the walk to campus is lovely especially as theres a massive park/green space right next to campus, with a 2 minute detour taking you right to the beach. Can't say too much on the students' union because it looks good but i havent really engaged with it. They always have some sort of event going on but honestly i havent been to many, so maybe the events could be more engaging so more people including myself would go.

I love the city in general. The University's libraries are good. with proper facilities that I can use, such as discussion rooms, computers, printers, even 3D printer! Some buildings look so old but in positive ways, make them look classic and cultured. However, in my own experience, some classrooms are a little bit aged. i mean, like some chairs are feel old, they are sometimes kind of wobbly, and some of them do not have enough leg room. Main library can be crowded when exam days come, but I think that is something that can not be avoided. i think it is good to add some space for classrooms or some like study hubs.

I love studying at Cardiff - it's a great city with loads to do, amazing people, vibrant and lovely, and it has a great selection of courses at the university. I really enjoy my course and studies, and there are a number of extracurriculars and events going on all the time. The staff and lecturers are really great, and I meet regularly with them to go through assessment feedback, module content, and 1-on-1s. Most of the buildings are really aesthetically pleasing and also practical, although some are better than others. The SU is great - I think YOLO and The Taf really set Cardiff apart from other universities. There are always fun events happening, and the prices are great. However, I've dropped a star this year due to a lack of student support. Last semester, I experienced an incident that I reported to the university in the hope of support and assistance, and I was met with silence, which was extremely disappointing. Timetabling this year was also really annoying. Although I knew this before arriving, the JOMEC building is so frustratingly out of the way. Being a Joint Honours student, JOMEC is an absolute nightmare in terms of travel, timetabling and work.

- there are plenty of activities and events - clear signposting and communication from the SU butt..... - would be great to see food options on campus catering to different needs. i.e. gluten free
