Social aspect
It really is the bees' knees.
Course can feel un stimulating at times but bet some really good people
I don’t really have any strong feelings in the matter, my experience has been largely positive
I find myself being a little alone due to living further than most but it is manageable
The campus has a fantastic library and excellent wellbeing services. The lecturers are also very friendly and supportive. I would’ve liked to have more compulsory support with entering the job market as part of the academic curriculum earlier in my time at USW.

Location is fantastic, media staff are top tier.
It's easy to get to, and the staff are friendly. The bad thing is that sometimes, when other things are on, we get kicked out of our lesson, which can be very annoying during stressful times.
The lecturers are great, the facilities are wonderful and the course is very interesting and feel like we are being prepared to work in the industry. It could be improved by having more social events in the Cardiff campus, especially for international students.
The community of staff and students is lovely. very supportive in all areas, including disability, mental health, studies etc.
It’s a really great uni to study at
Feel Welcome and Comfortable Nothing bad at all
comparing this uni to other universities, i feel there is a big lack in student activities such as a popular and lively weekly student union event. i feel like there is not much of a social aspect in this uni which makes it feel a bit more like college rather than uni
Good library service
It’s a nice atmosphere
Very friendly people
