Freshers week was really good I really enjoyed getting to know the city I was going to be in for 3 years. In addition going to many different sports sessions such as cricket, tennis, hockey and football I got a feel for university life. During this time I met many people who I'd call my closest friends now. I was lucky to try out so many different sports and have the choice of which would suit me best. I am now in my 3rd and final year playing tennis for the met first team The accommodation is lovely it's clean and modern. The university staff would come and clean the communal areas once a week as well. My room was big and spacious with a huge window so I didn't feel too closed in. In addition I was in catered accommodation and the food was lovely so it was a great experience for a first time away from home. The library at cardiff metropolitan is huge with over 30 computers to use. The classrooms and lecture halls are all modern and light and nice to learn in. I find a light and clean learning environment helps me to concentrate. The sports facilities are next level, for me there is a 4 court tennis dome with ball machines and hundreds of rackets to use. For other sports there is a brand new rugby 4g and a football Astro pitch as well as a grass one. Rugby also has the main grass pitch with a stand which is great to watch in on Wednesdays. This year I am working in the student union bar/cafe and I love it. It's such a comfortable and fun space to work in and get to know more people at university. You also get to meet the staff behind the scenes of sports management and the university as a whole and they all do an outstanding job to make sure the students are happy and feel safe. The course is very clearly laid out and easy to keep on track of assignments etc. The lectures are all recorded so if you missed the lecture or just needed to go over what was said it's all online. I enjoy my sport and exercise course because the lecturers make it exciting and fun to learn. I find this really helps me to keep motivated and want to come back every week. During this pandemic it has been hard to motivate but when you like your lecturer and the content you're learning it's easy to get out of bed each week. The online lectures are great as well as you can talk to the lecturer as if you're there. Cardiff is such a great city for both during the day and night life. I love going into Cardiff especially the bay. I'm from a seaside town so being able to drive down to the bay and walk from Cardiff to penarth is really nice. Cardiff has turned into my home away from home and I love it. The night life in Cardiff is great there's lots of clubs open and you see all your classmates there. It's a great place to meet people and enjoy university life.

Really good, lots of events shown over social media and face to face in uni I had very good standard of accommodation at uni, also the catered meals were excellent One thing I liked was that the facilities across the uni were available most the time to any students, to get free time/study. This really benefited me with my studies, and students union brought students together to socialise as well as learn. The course was taught in a way that was helpful to all, and the assistance was always there if you needed it. The course itself is enjoyable and lessons are made to be fun! City life was excellent, I really liked how the uni were involved within this, for example having security at night to make students feel safe when returning home.

Cardiff met

(5)·By Kyffin M·Sports Science· Jun 2023
Cardiff met us a great uni with exceptional sport facilities. The lectures are all very welcoming and are always there to help with the work. The university has a family feel and everyone enjoys gathering on a Wednesday to support our sports teams. The work is enjoyable and challenging

Fun I stayed in private halls Good Interactive Being a notoriously cheap city, Cardiff is the perfect place for a student. Compared to my friends that study in England's capital, you will undoubtedly be getting more for your money here. Cheap fun, transport and housing means you will not only save your coins, but will also have more to spend on a Friday night.
