Cardiff Metropolitan University

My course at university has covered various aspects of the fundamental sciences behind sports and other areas of expertise.

My overall university experience has been everything I imagined, and more. With Cardiff Metropolitan University, I have been able to enhance my academia, seek guidance from lecturers and support when needed, and experience a more independent lifestyle by investing in university accommodation with my student loan. I have grown as an individual, and I believe that university has sculpted me into an adult, and helped me realize that I am in control of what my future entails.

It's been good.

My experience is amazing so far , the course is fun and challenging and the campus is big with is amazing, night life in Cardiff of fun especially on a Wednesday and on a weekend!!!

My accommodation is a 20 minute walk to uni, which is also near a PureGym, aldi and big Tesco. The walk is along a beautiful river, and I really enjoy my walks into uni. I'm only in 3-4 days a week too, but still make the walk to go to the gym and go food shopping. I also live a 30 minute walk from the city centre, or a £9 Uber from town after a night out. My accommodation is nice, I have good flatmates and a nice big room.

I absolutely love my course. I study Food Science and Nutrition and i 100% made the right decision to study it. So far, I've covered modules on Food Product development, Biochemistry and Physiology, Professional Development, Food safety and Macro and Micronutrients. For the first time in my educational career, I don't ever dread it!

Cardiff met (Llandaff campus) is beautiful, very modern and clean. They have all the facilities needed, with lots of coffee shops, a big library, canteens etc. They have great kitchen facilities for my course, as well as modern lecture halls for the written parts.

My social life is good. In uni, there are opportunities to mix with other years and learn about their interests. There is also lots of effort out into making friends within your class at the beginning of university, which really helps. My accommodation also offers opportunities to meet new people, as well as groupchats and getting out there in freshers week. Nightlife is good too, even if it isn't my favourite thing to do!

I've had a very positive university experience so far, and look forward to the upcoming years.

Didn't stay in university accomodation so cannot comment on those. However facilities on campus were great, various options of places to grab food and a coffee, and plenty of workspaces.

The course has been enjoyable, lecturers and staff very passionate about subject and make lectures interesting and interactive. Would reccomend if you are thinking about doing a speech and language therapy course!

I have had an amazing experience in this uni, everything from the food, activities and student Union to the lessons and the helpful tutors. This uni has been an experience I'll never forget and will always recommend

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

My overall experience at uni has been good. I think my course will definitely lead to some great job opportunities. I'm looking forward to the future but I'll never forget the people I've met here. My first year accommodation was great and I found it super easy to be sociable.

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.
