Depending of course best place to study
This uni is well equipped and has the best staff and services.
My experience at Cardiff University has been truly wonderful so far! The academic environment is inspiring, with highly supportive lecturers and excellent facilities for both learning and research. As a postgraduate student, I really appreciate the balance between academic guidance and independence. The university also provides great student support services, and the campus feels vibrant, inclusive, and safe. Overall, Cardiff University has exceeded my expectations and made my study experience both enjoyable and meaningful!
Cardiff is an amazing unirverity with extensive student resources and facilities which all help contribute to the perfect student experience.
The university for healthcare applicants is pretty far away and frankly inaccessible to many. There are less services to reach here.
Good experience, large campus with plenty of study spaces
Organisation and timetabling within certain certain departments are atrocious; law department has only released full timetables in week 4 and they are still incomplete and have clashes. Some of the university lecturers deliver dull, uninspired lectures and are not good at public speaking. Facilities are good and the food options in the student options are nice.
Very lively campus, student hub
The timetabling definitely needs fixing
Amazing facilities, super friendly professors and staff and lots of help available for a first year student.
