I like my course and feel that I have gained a lot from university life. The union has been great and has helped me out with a lot so I can study with ease.
One pier of advice would be to save up as much money as possible before coming- drinking is expensive! I have had a blast here in cardiff uni and I think everyone would!
I am Really enjoying the general experience and this ui . The one thing that was wrong was that Stewart Field's handling of the erasmus year was appalling. I would say that is the only thing they need to improve on
Uni life in Cardiff is amazing, you always meet new friendly people. Th people you meet in housing will become friends for life. The lectures are very friendly and always happy to help. The uni has good facilities, which help to achieve your dreams.
Its a good uni, love being in cardiff, such a good city. Good course, good students staff relationship the star are friendly and helpful. Such a grew time at uni. Most important bit of advice if you are thinking of chosen cardiff..do it!
The most fun he’s had in a long time, loves studying there, got a scholarship. The admissions process was really easy, they came to him with what he needed, he didn’t need to seek anything out. The scholarships and societies were well publicised, love love loves the school.
Whilst I haven't enjoyed my course, cardiff as a city is incredible! And the extra curricular activities an offer are fantastic. The stunts' union doe s a fantastic job of getting people involved and offering more opportunities.
Well reputed university, with an active and vibrant student life. It does however have few contact hours, something I pity since you don't really feel like you're getting much out of your degree.
Quite fun, accounting course can be quite intense time management quite important. Good place to be good life skills and being independent. Lots of things going on and very helpful and a lot of job prospects available. City is good and it's a very convenient area.
I'm in my third year and it has had its ups and downs. The uni is fantastic counselling by the way. I dreaded coming to uni, choosing between here and sheffield and swansea but honestly if I had to choose again i THINK i'D STILL CHOOSE CARDIFF. itS BEEN an unforgettable experience. I love cardiff and so glad I get the chance to live, study and meet people here. Also quench is awesome!
Lots of variety, things are always happening, something to do, no two days have been the same. Got a Bursary and didn’t even know about it. The halls are prison like. The girls aren’t much to look at. Loves the city life. The student union has a good presence on campus.
I enjoy the fact that the lecturers are friendly and dedicated. The module choice for politics is good but could extend to cover other areas such as Asian politics. The choice of shops in the union is good and so are the gigs. The first year accommodation however was very poor, especially the student village houses.
Cardiff is a really good city to live in and i have really enjoyed my time here at cardiff uni. The course has been really good so I would advice students to goose their units based on the structure of the course they want to do and the modules on offer.


It’s really enjoying, really good, the facilities are really good, the eye candy is not good at all. She’s really enjoying the courses.
