Doing something new and not doing anything
I think the environment at Cardiff is one of the best things about the uni. The Student Union is amazing, there’s so many green spaces near and on campus and some beautiful places to study! I think we’re such a friendly uni - I never feel afraid to ask for help.
The best aspects are the studying facilities across the university. There is a wide range of studying areas which are suitable for everyone. One thing that could be improved is the aesthetic of some buildings as some look very old.
The student union is brilliant - Always having events on that help you to make friends from different courses etc that you would have never met! However as the university is not a campus, it can feel disconnected at times, as you have to travel through different parts of the city to access facilities.
The staff are really helpful, facilities are good, active student union community
Best aspect of studying at cardiff is its placement 5 mins from city centre. However, i feel like the student support system could be improved (especially for sexual assault victims)
They are really good at supporting you in issues surrounding accommodation. The facilities are always clean and nice.
The best think about the University experience is the amount of societies which the university has. You can get involved with so many things. There’s a space for everyone, non alcoholic, and alcoholic events. There is always a way to get away from studying. Additionally the libraries are really nice and lots fresh air
VKS Nightlife worst- the buildings, the pressure
Cardiff University provides a 24hr library allowing for a space to study in silence or alongside peers with plenty of research material to choose from. The business school could be updated as I feel its been quite some time since its last renovation however the CARBS business centre is very modern and a great environment for business students.
YOLO club night every Wednesday!
Everything is very close together and the student union has alot of good facilities and shops. Everyone is friendly and its easy to meet people
Small, walkable city makes it easy to get around, loads of clubs, societies, events to find your kind of people.
