It is a very good school, very humane, very caring for international students, with a strong academic atmosphere, many places to review and learn, and the library of the main building is also very suitable for learning.

Eduroam is very inconsistent and unreliable, especially with the older buildings where the internet rarely works in the lecture theatres. Aside from that, the university has an amazing buzz with lots always going on, plenty of opportunities for everyone and is generally a brilliant place to study. The school I am in (psychology) has been consistently brilliant in what they promote and the teaching quality is outstanding with lots of materials suggested to enhance your learning or to look at out of personal curiosity

Quite a nice place to study at, and lots of opportunities to try out. People are nice and the teaching is awesome in JOMEC. There are flaws, but people are nice. I do feel I'm getting plenty of support here.

I came to CU through clearing. I was told that I was guaranteed accommodation, heard nothing for 2.5 weeks and then told they couldn’t accommodate me. Despite the hard struggle of finding a place to live, Cardiff University has been great. The Students Union is a highlight with everything you need. My teachers are great (I have a small / niche course, people in larger courses don’t feel the same). Some buildings and facilities are run down but the student life is brilliant.

The university has top of the range facilities with high quality lecturers and great opportunities. First year accommodation provided by the university is disappointing and the uni experience suffered due to COVID however that is little fault in the uni itself. Overall a great uni with top of the range facilities
