There isn’t a lot of close reading done of texts and instead a lot of the modules/module leaders focus on the context surrounding the novels. This is helpful when it can be compared with close analysis of the texts but this isn’t always taught or focused on. Most lecturers are engaged with the subject and offer extra support or further materials to explore. However this isn’t always true for most classes,

I really enjoy SHARE. They have good facilities and knowledgable tutors

Cardiff is affordable and diverse and very cheap (coming form an American perspective). Decent buses but you can easily walk most places if you really wanted to

As mentioned earlier I believe the course is not very strong at Cardiff I believe the course could be given more importance in regards to the method of teaching the subjects as well as content that is being taught to be updated. However the lecturers are very helpful if the student is facing any problem

Course is not well planned. The number of hours and guidance is very less. There is nothing exciting about going to uni , it's just hectic

Office hours for your lectures allow you to easily speak face to face or online about any issues you may have but it would be much better and more motivating if lectures were in person and not online

Very close to the city centre so everything is within walking distance so very good that you don’t need to commute and spend money on travel each day

Staff would walk in and out of your house when ever they wanted as well as maintenance people without warning which was quite scary at times as you didn’t know who these people were and would more often than not wake you up early in the morning from the sound of them walking around your house

We still have meetings online, which is absolutely not necessary now that all restrictions have been lifted! More workshops for PhD student would be really appreciated

classes are fast paced with exams at the end of the module teaching sessions so we are able to put the skills we have recently acquired to good use without having to relearn too much

it’s a really good city to be in

The course has more content I feel very difficult to cope up because I had civil engineering background and I have no design knowledge. Also I have Missed more classes and feedback because of joining late. That had affected my percentage.

It's a beautiful city and the university is in a good location.

It’s a great course to study at Cardiff.

Almost everything is in person, apart from occasional online lectures. Vast majority of the lecturers and tutors are enthusiastic and knowledgeable.

Lots of shops and clubs. There are many nice areas in the city, such as Cardiff bay, Roath park, pontcanna.

University hall is far from town and the main uni accommodation (Talybont). It can make it more difficult at first as most of the people you meet live in the opposite direction so you can’t walk back with them. There is however a bus which runs once an hour, this is great for getting to 9am lectures but more difficult for getting back as the time you finish doesn’t often coincide with bus timings. The surrounding area is very pretty, and roath park is just a short walk away. Supermarkets are all pretty far from here, however there is a Tesco express 15 minute walk away. The nearest bigger supermarket is 35 minute walk, but the bus makes this more bearable. The rooms are all a good size and the kitchens are fine, although mostly quite dated.
