Cardiff is a great place to study due to the immensely knowledgeable lecturers who are always there to support me. Many of them really care about me doing well, especially my tutor. The study areas and libraries are fantastic and the uni is well looked after. I wish we had more mental health support as that’s something I’ve struggled with.

Amazing teaching staff who are always willing to give up their time to help you with anything. Material is well taught though some facilities do feel dated. University accommodation is small and not amazing but it has great locations near the city centre and close to the university campus.

The best aspects of Cardiff University would have to be the extra curricular societies. There are so many to choose and the people in them are always so lovely, they have been where I have made my best friends. As well as participating in new activities, on Wednesdays your society will host really fun socials to pre and get ready to head to Yolo, the student union club. It’s honestly the best night out Ive experienced because it’s so student central. Everyone dresses up, has lots to drink and have the best night surrounded by so many other students. Wednesday nights in Cardiff just feels like such a community of other young people who just want to have fun. Of course there are also so many interesting courses and amazing study spaces as well but I’d say the Wednesday nights is what makes Cardiff so uniquely special. I would say the worst aspects of Cardiff University would probably just be the weather but it’s hard to avoid the rain wherever you go in the UK. However Cardiff is so nice in the summer, there are so many nice parks and other day activities that are really fun.

Cardiff University has been a largely positive place to study due to its strong academic reputation, supportive teaching staff, and excellent location. Teaching is generally engaging and research-led, with lecturers who are approachable and willing to offer help outside of lectures and seminars, encouraging independent thinking and academic confidence. The city itself is a major highlight, as Cardiff is affordable, compact, and easy to navigate, with great transport links and a lively social scene. The campus being integrated into the city creates a strong sense of connection, and having green spaces like Bute Park close by is a real benefit for wellbeing and balance. The Students’ Union and wide range of societies and sports clubs make it easy to meet people, feel part of a community, and get involved beyond academics, while opportunities such as volunteering and part-time work help develop useful skills for life after university. However, there are areas that could be improved, particularly communication and administration, which can sometimes be slow or unclear around assessments, feedback, and timetables. Facilities are also inconsistent, with some buildings being modern and well-equipped while others feel outdated and in need of investment. In addition, while mental health and wellbeing support services are available and clearly prioritised, demand is high and waiting times can be long, so increased capacity and more consistent support across schools would greatly improve the overall student experience.

All of the facilities are great. They are modern and clean and have everything you need. The location is very central to the city centre with plenty of accommodation and shops nearby. There are many spaces to study which are distraction free and comfortable. As there are lots to choose from you don’t get bored. The university however could send information sooner regarding timetables, exams and other dates as this is often left until the last minute.

Lecturers need to communicate with each more to avoid conflicting deadlines that creates additional stress for students. Have a reading week in Autumn semester and before Summer exams.

- Location is perfect: it's a close walk to each building, the train station and city centre. - Buildings: the buildings are well-maintained with lots of study spaces, with a mix of modern and gothic styles depending on your preference. the Students' Union functions as its own shopping centre (with cafes, a supermarket and a hairdressers) - Support: Cardiff Uni offers a bursary and mental health support for carers/estranged/care-experienced/military-experienced/asylum-seekers specifically (as well as general mental health services). there is also a student finance team and a careers team.

I love that the university is a city uni as opposed to a campus, as many of the facilities can be better designed to each course. The main building is beautiful, and very well supplied for my course. The student union is incredible too, hosting many events. They are always happy to support the societies, which is really important for student life at Cardiff. The city itself is equally beautiful, and small enough to travel by foot. The train station is very well connected also. A perfect place to study!

Amazing student Union and university feel. Perfect study places including library and student Union. Positive atmosphere. It could be improved by having more support for after third year planning.
