The facilities the university offers are very new and well kept. There is a great choice of areas to study and socialise.
Best: the facilities are great and easily accessible allowing to some to complete all the work I have Worst: some rooms are harder to get to than others
Very good Uni overall academically and socially!
The location is fabulous, so close to housing and the city centre. It is a great place to be a student as the nightlife is so fun. I am loving my course and feel so well supported by my tutors and the experiences from being on placement
It's amazing for exchange student, I literally don't have anything to say other than it is amazing
Cardiff is great to study because of its vast choice of libraries and central location. There is always things to do in Cardiff centre and the staff are really helpful and friendly. For improvements, there could be more access to charging ports in some of the libraries such as heath.
Good area, good facilities, cant complain i cant lie.
The study spaces are excellent as well as the teaching,more social activities would be better.

4.5
The SU is one of the best parts about Cardiff - so many events, all of which are incredibly safe, a beautiful building, great programmes and lots of help for all sorts of issues and queries. Contains its own shops like CoOp and cafes and even a phone repair shop, which because its associated with the uni, we know is trustworthy. Cathays campus is great with some cool old buildings. Will say that Heath isn't the prettiest campus but I understand that's because it's an old hospital etc, however if the student facilities could be improved that would be great. I know we have the IV lounge but it's quite a treck to go to so Dental students don't often go that far. Also cheaper food options, as there is a canteen and boots meal deal, and the menu isn't that great in the IV lounge so being a student in Heath ends up being rather expensive because there aren't cheaper companies like Subway or Greggs or even a Costa, all of which exist on Cathays campus which are really handy. Otherwise, a fantastic uni with tons of green space and which feels pretty safe and clean.
Lots of contact hours, great for building relationships with supervisors and other dental students especially in other years. Good facilities, nice that everything is in the same building. Interactive and interesting course with plenty of opportunities
One Cardiffs biggest advantages is that accomodation is incredibly cheap compared to other universities, and students wanting a cheaper option can still live in the same student village as those paying more, so they don't feel like they are being "excluded" or further away than other accomodations just because they can't pay as much. So nice that all the accomodations with all the different prices are all in the same great location with Bute Park right next door and great shops and fast food restaurants super close. Felt very clean and safe and I especially loved Taly North for all the sports fields.
