Sort:Latest reviewsAmazing city, great nightlife, Good social. Need more funding for sports/gym
Great student facilities/clubs etc and everything you could want/need is a short walk away
It's very diverse and the student life has been amazing
Now more areas for students to go between lectures
Cardiff is an amazing place to study as the teaching staff are passionate and helpful. We have great facilities such as the library which is open 24/7. One thing I would improve is being able to access work and assessment information at any time, as sometimes I would love to get a head start on a piece of coursework but we don’t know what the criteria is until a few weeks before it’s due.
Very relaxed university but you still learn a lot, lecturers obviously care about their courses and students, and the city has a bit of everything. The only improvement i could think of is the intranet as when you are trying to find an answer to a question it can often lead you in circles rather than give the information you need
Really helpful and has everything you could need! Student’s union is great and social life is always buzzing.
More work spaces
Good facilities, med school located on the hospital campus which is very handy. Very friendly city. EBI: swimming pool needed desperately.
There's always loads to do, plenty of different societies and a lot of events put on by the course as well. There's a big sense of community. However, the students are quite cliquey and there is a lot of judgement and ignorance towards minority and working class students.
It has large diversity amd range of all people you meet and can easily make friends However I say that support fr them isn't that great and most of the time you get ignored facilities
There are so many different options to chose for studying but some buildings are slightly outdated compared to others making them less appealing.
Cardiff is a fantastic city to be a student in, and the student experience is mostly brilliant both academically and socially. Some of the buildings are a little dated now, but there are also some fantastic new developments that are top tier. The teaching staff are brilliant, accommodating and engaging throughout the course.
SU!!!!
All right, university run down but ok teaching
I think the SU is really good because they arrange a lot of relatively inexpensive trips to go to different cities or to the coast for a day, as well as longer trips over a number of days. However some of the student accommodation is pretty far from the campus and I also think there could be better signposting of what resources are available and where different things are.
Amazing selection of libraries especially Bute, ASSL, and CSL. Students union is the best in the country in my opinion and amazing night life in cardiff!!
Plenty of toilets. Centre for student life is a waste of space, such a big opportunity for more tables and chairs.
Student Union has a great range of societies, study areas, help for students and social areas.
4.5
The SU has amazing studying facilities, leisure facilities and night life. Events are always well run and enjoyable. The campus is beautiful and all in close location.
Lots of hours of lectures and tutorials every week. Good contact with lecturers and support services are always good and readily available. Content is well covered and related to clinical skills and placements.
Rooms were very small and no social spaces apart from the kitchen. Also we’re rather old fashioned. However it was great location and management always resolved issues well.
