Sort:Latest reviewsThe uni has some good study spaces available, and the campus is easy to navigate. The facilities in the newer buildings are really good, but the old buildings are very outdated- some toilet facilities don't work, the heating is never right, and there are no lifts. The student support is decent, with lots of opportunities available such as the Student Mentor Scheme. The campus is clean and modern, with the Centre of Student Life being one of my favourites to study in.
Student life is amazing but more work needs to be done within the University. the recent cuts have made it clear that the Humanities are being abandoned
Really accepting and helpful support team. Lots of facilities on campus. Regular events.
Best- student union, society options, some great facilities and location is perfect Worst- some buildings can be outdated and plug sockets aren’t available in a lot of locations
Close to the city and student areas. Student Union is always running events, trips and club nights.
-Cardiff city centre is really great, loads of shops and stuff to do, the arcades are also great. -Lots of opportunities and support like student mentoring, Cardiff award, summer programmes, languages for all and they send lots of emails and stuff so you can be aware of these opportunities. -Worst aspects of uni is probably budgeting, can be quite difficult obvs because you go out a lot and finding jobs can be quite hard.
There’s loads of different facilities to study which are kept clean and maintained , one way to make it improved may not be practical but keep areas closer together so access is a lot easier and getting around.
I love the city. Too much pressure in my course and unfortunately no support.
The location and im very pleased I chose the course im studying now by how its going so far. Theres not really much to say about the uni itself but could do with a few more supermarkets
Central and has arguably the best SU in the UK. There are many libraries and enough for every sort of person to find their space and enjoy their time there.
Great environment, great lecturers
Cardiff is beautiful. It rains a lot.
Really like the people in my society. I think the lecturers are very helpful, and enjoy the nights out!
The students union is the highlight of the uni and perhaps the best selling point for prospective students. The university itself is also great, with having such a variety of study locations. The overall location of the uni is a massive bonus as there you can access so many things within walking distance.
It’s an amazing location, with a great social atmosphere, particularly at the students union with lots of societies to get involved in. Sometimes I think there is too much online learning and not enough support.
YOLO is best club in the world but queues are too long
Student union is good. Facilities are great and so is location. Sometimes the campus can feel quite grey.
Best: student unions worst: timetables
So many options for places to study. All equipped with cafes and plenty of room!
4.5
- Staff has been super supportive and helpful - If you're not a drinker it's a little hard to socialise though
- Could use more contact hours for courses
- Super social - But on YOLO nights it gets too loud
