Warm, needs more seating however
being online for most of uni made it hard to meet people, but the uni hosts lots of events and is very friendly
Good study spaces and pastoral support. Not great for learning disabilities but makes up for it in everything else
Great facilities and lots of opportunities
Good uni. Eng building is old
I like all the events the uni has that helps you know people, be active (sports, reces) and the amazing student support from the uni and the students union. Is an overall great place to study. The only thing I would work on is the maintainable of the uni and residences, because sometimes they lack work and improvement.
Facilities are great as well as a very accessible location, however I feel that sometimes more support could be provided.
The uni is good, some of the buildings are not well designed but student life is good
Being a city uni makes it so good for accessing national transport, there is a lot to do and the campus is very diverse. Good facilities and teaching staff.
Modern infrastructure in most buildings
Best aspects would be how fresh the locations are. They’re upgraded and look professional, making you want to visit. Everything's easy to use and having coffee shops and study halls really help with exams. The university could improve on communication, I fell when Im in my accommodation its hard to get a hold of lecturers and even maintenance when theres a problem with my flat. I feel like communication isn't easy to access.
The attitude towards students from some of the child nursing lecturers is not good and needs to be improved . Facilities however are good and Cardiff is a fun and lively city to live in with plenty going on.
Great access to facilities and library services, good support from faculty and great broad spectrum of topics within the course
There are lots of study spaces throughout the campuses that are publicised via social media. Openness about availability of these spaces could improve- timetables etc. as they are also sometimes used for events.
Best aspect of my uni experience is living in a great city, and the worst is the loneliness I had for a while in yr1.
Not much support over covid and no support for students who took a sandwich year and returned to third year to do their first in person lectures and exams
The staff provide great education and support on my course. There are state of the art teaching facilities and a great Student’s Union. Some general estates facilities could be improved, general maintenance is lacking in places.
