Cardiff is a fantastic city with lots do do all throughout the year. The students union create lots of events and student nights to take part in. The facilities are modern. There isn’t anything that spring to mind as being bad. I genuinely have enjoyed my time at this university.
very comfortable and supportive when i’ve come for help
The best is the wide variety of study spaces. The worst is the lack of personal tutor support.
Very good location and place to live. Good facilities and student services. No Major improvements
Great studying facilities across the city
The worst aspect is the lack of extra activities available in university that isn't sport. E.g. competitions and working with industry on projects. the best part of this place is some lecturers are really good (others are the opposite) but they help you become a better student and more appealing to employers if they see potential in you. Another good thing about this university is it being located by amazing scenery for adventures into the Welsh hills and mountains.
Good new study spaces, but sometimes these get really busy and can be hard to find a seat.
The environment is amazing
When it comes to pastoral support and academic support, as well as support groups, lecturers and other educators are very understanding and helpful in my experience. It's difficult to access mental health support in the form of appointments and drop ins because there is a high demand
best- student night life- yolo and silent disco I also think all the libraries are good and the SU is a nice place to study Could be improved by giving us NHS bursary students more money
Positive - Cardiff is an ideal student city, its big enough to be lively but small enough that everywhere is a 20 minute walk away Negative - Quite Rainy
The best parts- - the student’s union and all the events they organise - the study facilities, makes you really want to study
best aspect is the range of study spaces available! worst aspect is the sense of it being too independent - a little more support from course staff would be great
I like the free hot drinks in the students union as well as plenty of study space
The central university services are fantastic, including the centre for student life, cafes, and student union. However, the rest of your experience can depend on which school you study under. For example, the business school is outdated, classes far too large and there is limited contact with professors as they don’t teach tutorials, which they do in other schools. Additionally, the sports facilities are just okay, with everything being a long walk from the centre of the university and no swimming pool. Overall, Cardiff's a great place to study, the city is buzzy yet homey and the student union are very responsive to feedback.
There are so many different places to go and study, or just hang out with friends. A very comfortable environment overall
The university is very supportive, always looking out to what students have to say and their opinion on how teaching should be delivered. It has all the required facilities and organizations to support every student and to make them feel included.
Worst was during first year when everything was online therefore wasn’t able to socialise and make friends! Best is the location, city, nice lecturers and interesting clinical skills days in second and third year
4.5
