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.
Great university wonderful student experience great city lovly people
Haven't been here long so there's still a lot to explore. So far it's a good experience
Great educational experience so far. The student support services could do with some improvement however.
Good university, lectures are good very student involving.
Love! Wifi a bit patchy jd
Good uni but as I'm a med student I don't know much about the other campuses.
Its been okay no complaints about the uni
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.
Great university with support from experienced professionals sand good social life
more sessions on career advisment
I have had a very good learning experience here. Both in education and extra curriculum. The number of societies to interact with and the jobs fair are really good
It’s an amazing uni, the only downside to the campus is we don’t have the ‘campus experience’ as it’s in a hospital for healthcare students. The staff are lovely and great support. Again the only downside is the hospital is hard to navigate whenever you first start but it’s easy once you start :))
I am happy studying at Cardiff university
Do not have any complaints about my experience and have not needed to use the careers service as of yet.
Cardiff is a nice city and place to live. I am not based at the main campus (as I am a healthcare student) so rarely go there but when I visited during the open day it was very nice.
Love everything about the student union and university. The student advice is not very helpful, have been emailing them for 3 months but no help.
I have enjoyed my first year at Cardiff uni.
The uni is good for learning that’s all I use it for
Cardiff Uni is great, they provide great support for students and the quality of teaching is good
It's been okay. nothing to compare it to but not great.
Really happy with the university structure.
Great university! Great facilities and support for students / great night life
Good university. Better things can be done
Great uni and range of societies
cool as beans....................
Cardiff University is a wonderful place to learn and study. The school provides ample opportunities for students to grow and develop themselves as well!
Staff are very kind, especially the team leader hena. Only improvement that could be made is a more secure bike shed and a dedicated common area for students to socialise
Proud to be part of it. From academic perspective, deserve the global position it is ranked on.
Lovely place and staff are helpful
It’s perfect, good facilities and student unions.
Cardiff university have a nice view. Internet is poor indoors.
Really good uni in a really nice city.
Beautiful environment, British style, teachers are very attentive to you, sometimes you don't understand the expressions of confusion and will ask if you need their help after class, love my school and my teachers
prof are very nice and responsible
Lovely uni always something to do and to keep you busy
It’s been good so far however they are issues that have been raised and not resolved. In terms of social life is good but no balance between work and relax!
It's a great university, the support that you recieve whilst attending is outstanding. The student union is an amazing places to socialise, eat and work at
The resources available for students are great I never feel far away from help and space to work in.
Absolutely love my university. Everything is perfect in terms of education, careers, university life experience.
I have enjoyed my time at Cardiff uni immensely, I have studied at a different top Rusell group university however the difference is clear. Cardiff student's union actually listens to students, change happens and your voice is definitely heard. They seem to foster well-being much more than other universities and particularly in my experience the experience is much more well-rounded rather than being a factory for students.
I love my university, and the dentist in Cardiff university is also really good, the doctor also very kind and friendly always encourage me.
All-round good uni, the weather is very poor though!
Very friendly environment and good tutors
I spent great time with friends here,and we can gathering together with friends in Windsor house my apartment like vip room for cooking and watching movies,my neighbors and apartments stuff here are so friendly and kind,I really enjoy the life here (>^ω^<)
The buildings should be regularly renovated
staff were excellent and very friendly in particular Todd and Mike
Cardiff University is a great university that always is there to help and support you when needed.
As an international student Cardiff University has provided more than I expected.
Nice uni good facilities and friendly staff (when they aren’t striking). Uni should be doing more to resolve strike disputes as staff are hardworking and deserve fair pay
Great uni and staff, only wish the cafe was cheaper
Student support services are great at Cardiff. Sought out help regarding student finance and the information provided by the university was extremely valuable
Law school is good and quite helpful
地理位置好，去哪里都方便。工作人员态度友善。屋内环境干净整洁。
Cardiff University is excellent, with a human touch and a focus on student development. The campus is very beautiful and safe, and the teaching buildings and facilities are very advanced. Teachers are willing to share and responsible. Choosing Cardiff University was the right decision.
Internet in my opinion is super hit or miss, especially when it comes to connecting in the first place
It’s great, good facilities and a great place to study
Brilliant atmosphere and a very cheap city to live in with good nightlife. Good study facilities open 24/7 and fast wifi
The university and campus is good. But the connectivity and transportation network is really poor in the city.
The University has good infrastructure and student facilities
Having a very great experience till now ...
The facilities at the university are good. Could have better variety and more affordable meals at the student cafes and canteens.
Not much to say really. I'm happy here
Campus close to the centre, easy access, really good student union
Cardiff is good all round. The Student Union is amazing and supportive, putting on lots of events to make your time here fun. There is a wide range of clubs and societies and there is also lots of academic support. The buildings and facilities are good, with the new centre for student life adding lots of modern study spaces.
It is good uni with great teachers but it should have more activities for people to socialise with each other from diff campuses as I feel my building is a bit segregated
The University has helped me in a huge amount of ways in every aspect of my life. I am grateful for every part of university. They have made my academic life more exciting.
Very helpful staff to assist me for my first year, the students are friendly as well
Great area. Shame that all the subjects are split into separate areas of Cardiff though. Staff are always very friendly and we are given access to all the facilities we need.
Very good university, campus facilities are amazing.
A good university with a wide range of course
Great working stuff, the facilities are new and easy to access. Everyone is willing to help and the services that the university provides are rich
Chose Zenith by accident over a year ago, but I’ve never regretted it since! Coming to a new country as a student was frightening by the staff and the people here always made me feel like I belonged here. I made some of my best friends here and whenever I needed help with something the staff would always be kind, especially Lauren,Javi,Dan and Angela! The social spaces are always lively and the study rooms have AC and are spacious, thank you Zenith !
It’s good be a part this university
The rooms were clean, very comfortable, and the staff is amazing. Every staff member I encountered,from check- in to the cleaning staff were delightful and eager to help.They went over and beyond to help ,make our stay enjoyable. I highly recommend this accommodation for students. Thank you
such a friendly uni and amazing city :)
Everyone is super welcoming and friendly
Lovely location, student housing lacks sometimes but it's made up for in the fact you're in such a great city.
Cardiff University offers variety of courses for graduate and post graduate level with well equipped infrastructure facilities and work environment. It has been an amazing experience for me as an international student to study.
Awesome experience and highly recommended!
Lovely university, great social/nightlife in the city. Met amazing people
Good. Good course and good facilities
Pre-sessional English course in Deri house was good but the facilities were really poor
The best! The course is different and challenging yet interesting and aids professional and personal development
在这个学校经历了挺好的一年，同学很友好，环境很优美啊啊啊啊啊
很愉快的一年，老师同学都很友好，上学也很方便，学校很漂亮，建筑很好看。
I loved my time at Cardiff university. I had made many friends and memories that I will cherish for the rest of my life
Cathays Campus has facilities located almost throughout Cardiff city centre, some of which are open long hours for self-directed study. Due to the epidemic, during the year I studied here, both online and offline courses were adopted. Later, students studying here may have more frequent contact with faculty members. On the whole, the school has complete facilities, beautiful environment and serious and responsible teachers, which can provide a good learning atmosphere. In addition, the school gift shop is located under the Student Union building, so those who like to collect souvenirs may keep an eye out.
Cardiff university is the best. Couldn’t have asked for a better one. Thanks
I love this university. I’m doing clinical optometry at the School of Optometry and Vision And the staff is amazing and i love the academic level, TOP ONE!
环境很好很干净，公寓设施齐全，工作人员很有耐心很热情，地理位置优越
非常好的的环境。非常好的教学资源，学校位置也非常的方便。学校的工作人员和老师也很友善
Amazing experience at this university
Facilities are average with the libraries being the main resource that I personally use however the wi-fi in all of the campuses s good. The career services are fairly poor - they advertise placements online but provide no guidance onwards. The best way to describe it is that they drop you into the deep end and hope you float
Very friendly staff - I have never felt homesick. Central to almost every cuisine possible
Good university school of engineering seems a bit shabby, but the professors and teaching staff have all been really helpful
The university is brilliant for university and that provide brilliant support for queer students too :)
Campus is slightly outdated but has all the recquired facilities and is easy to navigate through. Wide range of clubs and societies are available, However, Due to COVID, the experience wasn't as engaging or nice as it usually is. The students union is full of amenities and provides any help needed. Several different programs as well as advice teams are available for future career progression.
Good facilities and campus. Not much to complain about.
Love Cardiff University. Good and friendly environment, decent facilities. I am enjoying my time here at Cardiff.
