I did not like the fact that first year psych students do not get a reading week
Theres a lot of support for everything
The location is very nice, and I like the facilities, eduroam can be a nightmare though and more corner like spaces to study would be nice
Student union and opportunities are best aspects of my university experience. The worst would probably be the issues with delay in timetable releases etc.
Yolo is great
It’s great but the weather is something u should get prepared for. Best experience possible
Students union is great. Some buildings look a bit tired
Good social life
None all good
Law building needs a refurb. Teaching quality has significantly diminished.
Lots of different study spaces, with a range of communal and silent areas which provides a range of options suitable to what you would like.
Cardiff university has a large range of support for new students. The SU facilities are exemplary and support you no matter what you wish to get out of your university life.
The student union is definitely a stand out for me, provides alot and is very inclusive
Issues with timetabling not great - not sure why over an entire summer timetables couldn’t be sorted resulted in impact to final year of studies
Best - location and benefits of a small city but a capital with lots going on Improved - timetabling issues - insecurity about job and course cuts

Lots of study areas and social activities.
