The campus is great with all buildings being in a close radius while also expanding through a wider area. All staff in the architecture department are extremely helpful and supportive. There are many opportunities presented, and the students' union is amazing. I can think of no faults at all.

Q&A


Q
Is Cardiff Uni welcoming to students with an immigrant status? Have seen reviews of international students who didn't have a good experience and am wondering how it is for those already settled in the UK. Also, how is the mental health support?
