If you're a first year student at Cardiff you should definitely stay in Taly. Court is the closest accommodation to everything, the location is good. However, wifi is awful, especially on your phones. EE has no coverage in this building and I often have no service at all. This makes it extremely hard to call or FaceTime my family from my room. There is one ethernet cable in the room which works fine for a TV. The rooms are ok, the bathrooms have a proper shower rather than a wet room like South which feels cleaner. Reception staff are rude and do not make you feel at home. You are fined for needing to be let into your room. Also, for not doing the dishes/ taking bins out which can be extremely annoying if there is one person in your flat not pulling their weight. Our kitchen has no wifi or aerial, making it an unsociable room.If you don't get lucky with your flatmates Court is much more isolated than South, which is ok if you want quieter living, but not if you want a lively first year
