University of South Wales

It was quite quiet compared to what I saw on social media. But the SU did what they could with what they had, still had the option to go into Cardiff for the freshers events as well I used private rent accommodation due to not wanting to go into halls. I had a halls room as a back up in case things fell through they were good with allocation and communication. Private rent companies aren't that great in the area, my second year accommodation was the best but switched hands to an awful letting agency Library was huge with so many books to collect - can sometimes be hard to find due to the layout but there are signs on the end of the bookcases. Easy to follow booking system - never had a fine due to this. On campus gym which has good facilities at a reasonable price and the SU is fine - slightly overpriced in entry fee for what you get but you can always have a good night there The course has great staff who will help you with anything, no question is deemed stupid. Coursework marks are returned on time with in depth feedback and option to follow up after to discuss. Good communication from lecturers Pontypridd campus was based just outside of the city which was fine - getting to Cardiff is quite easy. Better to have a car or car share to get groceries though
