It’s a relaxing space just needs better wifi
They could improve their housing facilities for international students
the student union/ centre for student life is easily accessible and everyone is so helpful in there - during the first week of uni, my admin wasn’t working and I couldn’t connect to Wi-Fi - the IT team were more than happy to help which made the whole issue less stressful and it was an easy fix , the libraries are easy to use as well. lecturers are helpful in providing support when needed. maintenance, specifically in talybont court are so fast to help when the forms are filled in - often sorting out problems even when we aren’t in. to improve: - heating in most rooms is inconsistent - more ways of easily accessing society’s, sometimes it’s difficult to know when society’s meet so it’s hard to join them
Needs quiet placs open 24/7
Love SU lack of student support
It has the most knowledgeable professors who teach us and go out of their way for us. Also because of the diverse cultures I learn everyday. My school building is the most amazing building(Abacws) and it has all the facilities students need such as conference rooms, study spaces, Labs etc. The students union has everything a student needs.Specially the kind of support we get and advice for everything we go through is the best thing.It’s an amazing university and I’m glad to be here.❤️
It’s cute

The city is easy to get around with only 30 minutes walk to get from one end to the other. Lectures are all in person, and then most are recorded for ease of catching up if you do miss them. There are no sit down exams for my course, instead there are 24hour take home exams which suit my learning style much better. There's a decent nightlife for those are interested, and it's all incredibly affordable to live in Cardiff.
Overload of work and not enough time to complete lessons. Too many lessons are online. Not enough in person lectures. Student life is really good with many events and things to do in the student union. Nice atmosphere.

Lovely friendly city
The redwood building needs to be renewed SU needs more seating and study area
Make the most of facilities that the university provide, also great social environments
More places to sit - gets very busy sometimes.

It has a great student life with loads of societies and events to meet people. It could be improved by helping more with the transition from A Levels to uni
