Cardiff University is a first-class institution offering excellent education, world-class facilities, and exceptional student support. The teaching staff are both knowledgeable and approachable, promoting an inclusive learning environment. The campus is diverse and vibrant, offering a rich cultural exchange and broadening my worldview. Located in the heart of the city, the university's position is ideal for exploring local amenities and cultural sites. It's not just about academics here; Cardiff University provides a holistic, enriching experience.

The uni provides a good standard of education but I find it very, very disorganised. All my friends had the same experience. Emails take a long time to respond to, support is lacking and issues take forever to resolve. The uni also feels very faceless and impersonal and I don’t feel heard or supported enough.

The readings and lectures we are given are completely irrelevant for the essays we have to undertake. The feedback received in these essays is misleading and basic with a failure to fully support students in their academic ventures. Cardiff is an unwelcoming environment where I felt singled out everywhere I went and struggled to make valuable friendships. Because of this I had major struggles with my mental health in first year and when I approached the university mental health department for support they dismissed my concern entirely. Luckily, I have a supportive family to help me go through my 3 torrid years at Cardiff.

Cardiff university is a great place to study and I have enjoying doing both my undergraduate and masters degree here. It’s great the see the facilities changing and things evolving overtime, but also that the character has remained in lots of its older buildings. It’s a very supportive university, and I’m lucky to have met various lecturers and fellow students along the way. It’s situated a in great city, very affordable and someone that can become a home after completion of degrees.

Great support, great supervisors, and staff. Great location in Cardiff, the heart of Wales, where it’s one of the most affordable cities in the UK. Also a bunch of nearby parks to enjoy the nature and avoid the hectic life of study and work

Great course and the careers service are beneficial. I owe most of my CV to them. They run many events and host workshops that give you skills and experience for your CV. They're also very diverse and host a lot of events for people with disabilities and international students. They are just the best people in the university. I also recommend that students use their Student Futures account. I can't say the same about SU or societies, though. It would be great if they focused on making the SU and Societies more inclusive and the vents more accessible to people with disabilities. There haven't been many opportunities for disabled people to take part in sports, and a lot of venues seem to be designed for the type of students you see on leaflets. There have also been stories about spiking and other things in the club Yplas that the SU seem to perpetuate. Be sure to purchase the best data package because the intranet doesn't always work and is pretty slow.

There is no doubt that the west wing is the most cost-effective student accommodation in Cardiff, which is near the city centre and engineering school. The facility there are quite perfect, I love the gym and study room. The lovely stuff team help me a lot when needed, especially Janice. She is really warm-hearted and patient, and would without any hesitation to help you not only in solving something about living, but some advice on daily life. Talking with her is happy and relaxing, she could help you in many aspects. Apart from that, Janice is a bilinguist who also could speak chinese fluently, where you could communicate with stuff and solve problems easier than any other accommodation in Cardiff. In a word, what she did made me feel at home and this is also the main reason I rebook next year.

Cardiff University has a good reputation and some fantastic lecturers. Unfortunately it's let down by bureaucracy and needs to streamline some of its services to make it more efficient.

I can’t speak for cathays campus but I didn’t like the heath, completely separate from everything else, so far out of Cardiff, don’t feel like you’re a uni student there. The student union is too far if you’re studying at Heath and staying in clodien house. Might have been a better experience if I stayed at taly but don’t think the Heath campus is good at all. There’s a good library but not really a social scene. When I’ve gone into the centre cathays campus does look nicer and there’s more social stuff going on there, think that would be a much nicer campus so if you’re not studying healthcare it should be better. But don’t like how it’s not a proper campus, it’s just buildings dotted over the city and accommodation isn’t on campus so have to walk everywhere. Decided to leave and apply for other unis as just wasn’t for me but I’m sure a lot of people have a good time here, just wasn’t right for me.

Good range of activities and societies to join however you have to pay an additional amount to even buy memberships for the societies which i found weird. Lots of nice study spaces in both campuses, alot of support and help available. Diverse campus with alot of cultural activities and inclusion.
