Psychology / Criminology, Year 2

It was very well planned out, you could choose to buy various freshers bands which gave you tickets to lots of events or just turn up to any yourself. There was something going on pretty much every night for 2 weeks. Talybont was ideal for socialising with big blocks and the possibility of going into each other's kitchens for pre drinks. It was very clean and well organised. The student union is really cool inside, with everything you can imagine being packed in yet still tonnes of space, and even better due to the renovation. The library I used was always very clean and well organised, with helpful staff. The classrooms were clean and spacious, and the sports facilities were amazing. The course is very varied and addresses a wide range of aspects of Psychology in terms of content. The assessments and varied ways of learning are helpful. The lectures are engaging and interactive. The city life is always good, lots of student nights, as well as nice places to eat, drink, chill and shop.

good and allowed students to bond and be able to make connections for the future. Also getting a mind for how the course works. Some of the accomadation is old and others a new. They need to refurbish some of the accomadations. The facilities are brilliant. However I would like some of the sports areas to be free of charge. The lectures are brilliant. Some of the lecturers are helpful. The city is very like a small town. There is brilliant vibe of multi-culturism.

It was really mind refreshing and had lots of fun. Met so many people and got a good interaction with them Cardiff university accomodation is really cheap and affordable for the students and provides you with a good exposure We were facilitated with library, sports are where my favorite was badminton court. Student unions is big hub for all the problem solving and all the fun. My lectures were good because the way of teaching was quite interactive and we did a lot of projects which gave us a practical and deep knowledge of the subject I love cardiff. It's just amazing. Cheap fun loving,peaceful and most importantly the people here are so down to earth and greetful.

Theology and Religious Studies, Year 1

Love the course! My department is amazing and all the staff are so passionate. The course adapts to the staff's research to keep it interesting and inspiring. The city is an awesome place to be a student; there's a nightclub or bar to suit everyone and it's all super cheap! The university is great - I've been involved in various sports, social, academic and political societies at Cardiff and I've had an amazing time. Can't recommend it highly enough!

Biological Sciences, Year 1

(5)·By Luis M·Biology· Oct 2018
So far this year, my university experience has been amazing. I've met loads of amazing new people and my lecturers are amazing! You can tell by their voice how passionate they are about the subject that they teach. Cardiff's night life is equally as amazing as the university; with a range of nightclubs to go to (including the students union on Wednesdays and Saturdays) you can't go wrong with any choice.

Music, Graduate

(5)·By Emily D·Music· Jul 2021
It was really fun. I met lots of people and had a great first couple of weeks. In first year I was in halls and it was good because it meant I got to meet lots of people. Now I live in a student house. The library is good. The music department has lots of good facilities. And the student union is a lot of fun. I learn a lot. I find it interesting. There's lots to do. The Christmas market this year was really good fun.

The course wasn't the most welcoming environment and I had to try hard to make friends on it. Found making friends through halls easier I wasn't in accommodation Great facilities, have our own library's in the media building. Student Union is the best one I've been too. Course is a great mix of interesting and educational. The lecturers are very helpful and know a lot about their field Great city, perfect size. Love being in a capital

It was interesting as it was my first time abroad. We had a university tour and they made sure we were aware of everything around us Their accomodations are very neat and clean. They have good equipments Student union is the best place to hangout. Libraries are very peaceful to study and silent to stay calm. We always played badminton in the talybont sports area Courses were unique and lectures were interesting and we had freedom of speech City life was just amazing. I enjoyed the whole of cardifff. City centre is just tooo beautiful.

Nights out are always great in Cardiff and it's never too far to walk anywhere. Cathay said is the perfect distance from the main university building and town for nights out. I study optometry which has it's own building and dedicated lecturers
