It’s a nice campus over all
Best is student uninon worse is find information for exchange students
The perfect mix between campus and city university. Loads of support offered and highlighted to students
Best = location, student life. ,student union Worst= depressingly grey, weather
love it
The best part of my uni experience is that there is excellent support for students who are either struggling or simply have enquiries about uni life. The resources are amazing for both uni work and wellbeing support. The worst part of my uni experience is that I have found it difficult to make friends outside of societies; everybody after a couple of weeks becomes fairly isolated in their own groups.
The best is the activities that the student union do
Great professors, great environment
There are a plethora of places to study, with multiple libraries and other study spaces. The campus is nicely spread out with not much of a walk between different areas. However some of the buildings are in need of repair, which is happening but needs to be at a quicker rate.
Best- The student union, all the events that happen, the amazing location, the amazing professors who are always ready to support. worst- the financial situation of the university, the cuts, the sort of low ranking, the hefty international student fees
Best- living with friends Worst- lack of support with coursework
I think that Cardiff University is a great place to study because it is in a nice location where the nightlife is vibrant and the people are friendly
Best social Worst- sometimes deadlines are stressful
Student union - best
CSL is brilliant, great space for studying


Best aspect is the location and support
Need more support sometimes as the workload is large
Wasn’t the best wasn’t the worst
