I loved my time at this university. The place during the summer and spring is like out of a movie and it has a very central location so everything is closely accessible to students ie. the city centre, the students union, the centre for student life, 4 main libraries and Bute park are all at a 30 minute walk from each other!!

Nice great cute I like it good atmosphere
I am very fond of Cardiff, the university and the social experience is very exciting.
Generally it’s good I love it(but I found no club’s information on student union websites
The University does not care for working class students. There is not enough financial support for students who have to work. I work 25 hours a week and I am constantly exhausted and unable to catch up because I have to work. If I don't work, I can't go uni. And the university will not provide enough money, not good support
It would be better if the apartment could offer free storage services during the six days between two tenancies.
It is great university. I truly enjoy it.
I love my time at Cardiff. They have been very supportive in all aspects of my life. To my struggles with my mental health to my studies, they have been nothing but brilliant.

I feel as though if you are not in one of the Talybont residences it can be quite difficult to make friends within the university.
