All campus is compact and accessible wherever you may be. I have had lectures in numerous buildings and they are all in walking distance from each other. I also really enjoyed my first year living in Uni housing, it was very homely and all freshers were in close proximity. Perfect for my first time living away from home!
More greenery near the engineering building
Great community and very supportive colleagues and staff
I love it all!
Best aspects : There is always somewhere to go and study away from your bedroom desk . The wide array of societies and social activities. Improvement points : 1st year halls can regularly feel very isolating and lonely More contact hours where you work through resources and problems together
The student life is really great here due to the abundance of societies, restaurants and nightclubs.
Good city, good accoms, good course, good people, good buildings
It a really welcoming place!
Lovely environment & campus
The facilities that the university have make it one of the best for studying.
Anything i need help with, Cardiff University is always there to help me out! I never feel the pressure to go out my way and do anything. I can keep a social life with good academics keeping my mental and physical health on top.
Just the most welcoming, helpful place to study. The city is amazing with so much to offer. Majority of student accommodation is within walking distance to campus making it really welcoming and comfortable to walk to especially in the winter months when it gets dark easy Love love love Cardiff going to miss it
Cardiff is a really nice and affordable city to live in with lots to do, making it a good place to study. There are lots of study spaces around campus and lots of student housing all very nearby. Some buildings on campus however do look a little old and outdated and could use some refurbishment to improve the overall studying experience, but overall these doesn’t impact the quality of education too much at all
Best aspects are the student life as there is lots to do for students and many student deals making it a cheap place to study and live. Worst aspects comes with the distance of the lecturers some times. This does not apply to all but some are not willing to get in contact with you outside of lectures.
Printing process is too much complicated and a list of bars/restaurant in the uni’s building could be useful
So many places to study with lovely decor and so many places to go when you need help. Maybe a student Union juice bar or more affordable coffee shop
I really like how is organised
The location is great, it’s versatile, there is lots of space for innovation. It would be better if there was more accessible support for students for mental health, academic help
Great and vibrant student life, everything is walkable, loads of clubs and societies, engaging lectures.


I love it so much
It’s okay not much info on jobs
Sooo far away
