It’s a great uni
I have loved my courses, my lectures and my lecturers!! All fascinating and the lecturers are so supportive! My accommodation is great, super spacious and great view! The disability support team are really good too :))
Campus is great, even though it’s a City University. It is very easy to make friends. The building for my lectures is nice and modern. A lot of great societies and sports clubs which is good for developing skills and hobbies. The Student Union is great.
Being so close to the city is amazing and there’s always something to do, there is plenty of great spaces for studying (even a lounge within my accommodation - university halls) and they are very supportive of the students. However my specific accommodation (university halls) is about two miles away from anything, it definitely is more difficult to get places; it’s almost an hour walk to the city.
Large amount of students, some facilities are far greater than others due to funding and date of when they were constructed.
Good location. Course could be better
Best: Cost of living crisis schemes to help students
The best aspect is the uni and union Worst is lack of support
love it
Love the uni experience
Hh
Nice university
.
The su and opportunity for engagement in hobbies you enjoy are excellent. Criticism around housing and how there is little assistance from the university which isn’t well advertised
I love the city and the culture
The best aspects of my uni experience would be the night life available at cardiff and the online learning facilities provided by the University. The worst would be the distance from the accommodations to the university buildings
The people are the best and nothing is the worst :)
It’s a great place to study as there are lots of varied spaces available to work. There are many different aesthetics across the university so something to suit everyone’s specific needs. Improvements can be made to abacws to allow undergraduate students access into the building past 8pm


The student union is great!
Great and interesting content!
Better bus
