The student union is fab
Love how pretty the area is, especially the main building <3 One thing that could be improved is GIS part of my course is quite complicated
Wish there was more to do in the day during freshers week.
Really good student union!
Accom action is worst and lack of contact time
Good uni
the distance of Talybont away from the city, uni and main student facilities stops me from interacting w social events as often but otherwise it's good
Great facilities, accommodation could be better managed
Cardiff is a beautiful city and while it maintains a cultural identity it also provides a decent nightlife with a range of options for everyone.It’s not too busy as I expected before moving here and compared to the big cities in England it feels relatively settles and quiet.Depending on what you look for that might be an advantage or disadvantage however I must stress the fact that it provides the majority of the elements found in a ‘big’ city.The university itself is spread out across the city and the vast majority of buildings provide all the facilities required for effective studying.The centre for student life is very modern and is the place where all students can seek support from the relevant staff members or enquire about their course or specific situations.
The student union services and the libary provide create areas for social and academic intrests.
The only bad experience I’ve had while at uni is when teachers go on strike, but even then, I was able to use that as an opportunity to catch up on work. My best experiences so far at Cardiff university have been: nights out at Y Plas in the students union, playing netball with the Modern Languages Netball Team, cheap food and carverys at the SU pub (The Taf), MLANG film nights, and most importantly my classes. Even though it is a lot of hard work, all of my lecturers and teachers are really kind, welcoming, and helpful whenever you have a problem. All resources provided are easy to read and understand, and we are very often sent information about where we can access certain services and facilities. The location of the main university campus and schools is great. Just a 10 minute walk from the city centre, the Talybont student accommodation, and 2 minutes from the nearest train station. Getting to university is really easy, as the transport links are great and everywhere is clearly signposted.
The pontio building is very nice with new facilities Bangor as a location is very isolating especially for people in their early 20s as there are little oportunities
4.5
The cardiff students Union is so rich of diversity and activities for all students. There is a really warm feeling about being a part of it
The course is taught by encouraging and enthusiastic lecturers that provide help and encourage personal development
Very good value for money
