The environment is very good, the room is particularly satisfied, especially the large French Windows, which are very few in the UK, the price is not high, and the floor is very high, the scenery is very good, and the reception attitude is good

I've been staying here for over a year, starting from the first day I came to Cardiff, and I've booked a room here again for the next year. Because I really like the clean and quiet environment here, the excellent location, and more importantly, all the staff here are very enthusiastic and helpful. No matter if we need help with anything, they can help me in time. I will continue to live here in the future.
In contrast to my accommodation, I've genuinely found my experience in the University amazing so far. The students are nice, the staff even more nice, and the people in general have made my stay here just enjoyable. The various facilities of John Percival, Student Union, library and PG study zone buildings is great.
I am a new PhD student at Cardiff University, and I have been looking around for accommodation due to my late entry. I can assure that the receptionist at Windsor is the best, most patient and professional of all the Cardiff student accommodation receptionists I have come across, especially Ash, who always confronted my enquiries with a problem-solving attitude. He is very professional and dedicated and he handled my case skilfully. And Nadia was also very eager to help me. She showed me all the facilities, such as, laundry room, social space, study room, and the yard. I think the staff at Windsor can make the stay better for the residents. The location of Windsor is the best, it is between the school and the city centre, which helped me to save a lot of time. It is very rare to find such a price in the city centre. So I think this is the first choice for all international students in Cardiff. I would recommend this place to everyone. I am grateful to have met Windsor, Ash and his tea
yep good university i like it, trying to get 30 characters
Cardiff University is wonderful and very friendly staff and amazing lecturers who explain concepts well. It is very easy to make friends in my opinion, and the campus has lots of green spaces. The Student Union is great and has nice places to eat too. I’m studying my Masters at Cardiff and did my Undergrad here too - would definitely reccommend Cardiff Uni!
I am a first year student and so far I have no complaints. Everyone is very welcoming and the atmosphere is very friendly. There are many opportunities and you are encouraged to push yourself and try new things. You can tell how invested all the lecturers and organisers are. Would recommend
Love the infrastructure and the location

Cardiff University is decent overall. It provides an okay academic experience.
My experience has been quite varied as I met with people from multiple backgrounds and that has helped me incredibly to achieve my study as well as personality goals.
REALLY NICE UNI. FRIENDLY PEOPLE AND AMAZING SERVICE
Decent facilities, good location. The buildings can be far apart sometimes. But good place for studying nonetheless
My university prides in its community
WiFi is Never working. Social spaces are minimal and location is out of the way.

Love studying here at Cardiff University. There is a great balance of education and extracurricular activity.
Glendower house is a warm and welcoming home. The staff and students are friendly, it's close to the city centre and the environment is very pleasant.
Cardiff University is my best choice and I am very happy studying here.
Bad wifi throughout buildings but very nice facilities. Su is amazing
My postgraduate experience at Cardiff university has been an amazing experience. I learned from some of the best people in the PR industry who were my teachers, guest lecturers and supervisors. If you’re looking for an undergraduate or a postgraduate degree in journalism, media, communications or PR then the School of Journalism, Media and Culture - Cardiff is a great place to be a part of.
It’s a great uni. Would recommend
A good uni with a wide range of support, I enjoy my module contents however I believe the placement support could have been more active in terms of applications, interviews and assessments. Tutorials could also be more engaging in terms of involving students.
Fantastic university, great lecturers and set up, glad I chose this university
taylor swift soc slays. student
Pippa and Tom the reception staff are heaven sent. Kind and compassionate, always there to help you with your issues in the building, and are always genuinely interested in your student life. Will be rebooking! The studio flats are the best value for money, biggest spaces and with all bills included, compared to renting privately in Cardiff and paying bills separately, the money really does even out. Great for a mature student and new student alike. Private and friendly and good neighbourly atmosphere.
Great university, many good memories made and some helpful staff
It’s pretty much all I need for my course, staff are great, course is great, and the facilities are amazing.
Great labs, great SU, friendly and knowledgeable lecturers
I love my experience at Cambrian point
Awesome experience and university experience
my experience is really good just
It’s a good uni to be close to things in the city center
It’s a good place for doing your study
Needs improvement for students
Okay but generally not too friendly or involved with students
Not a bad university but I noticed that a lot of international students struggled to understand the non -English teachers
A walk around the campus is a lovely way to while a few hours. Some of the architecture is gorgeous and there's a lovely little park in the middle of the main campus. Very close to the city centre yet very relaxed.
The pharmaceutical sciences building is due for an update and library needs better resources.
The experience has been great.
Good uni, Russel group , good teaching standards
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.
Overall was good as there was lots of stuff to do
Cardiff university is big , there is a lot of building you can visit , so it’s good to extend your connections, and they are friendly

Teachers are amazing, the facilities on campus are also great, with fast and easy access to a wide range of materials to help you in the library.
Good campus! Didn’t have much time for social event, sorry!
Part of CAVC college not in list
Average experience, wish could receive more help and support
It’s a lovely university with great spaces for students.
I’ve loved my time at Cardiff Uni. The SU is easily one of the best in the country. The campus is a bit standard, but some parts of it are really nice too.
A great university with accessible facilities and helpful student services.
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.
A great university friendly staff
Need more attention for international students with respect to employment services and social networks
Cardiff University Student Union is amazing,YOLO on Wednesday's and JUICE Saturday’s are so much fun and a good way to bond with your flatmates and friends. It also has amazing study spaces and food and drink places to keep you going. Staff are friendly and helpful
Very nice place to study and it’s a nice city too
Enjoyed my time here, course wasn't well structured but staff were somewhat supportive.
Safety city and hospital locates

The service attitude of the apartment is very good, the address is very convenient, it doesn't take long to go shopping and go to school.
Cardiff university boasts a lovely campus with many facilities. Their student union is the second best student union in the UK. There are a variety of clubs and societies suitable for everyone.
The student union is very well laid out and organised. It gives you a great place to socialise with people you do not know
It’s a great uni with amazing lecturers
Prefect school and please improve the rank in QS that would be great helpful
The buildings are scattered around the city so it's not so recommend.
Good school with good professors. I love the students and studying vibe here. Teachers are patient and students are nice. All exams and assignments are clear. I love Cardiff University.
I am doing my PhD in engineering school, however, the facilities school provided are quite not as good as others. Besides, there are many unnecessary events I need to take to some professors who have no idea about what I am doing.
Cardiff is very great place. I like the bar the pub and club also xx
CSL is an enjoyable place to work, the Library can get too hot to do work in
Everything is good so far, but the Law Building is quite old.
Student union does not care much about the students
Cardiff Uni is great they are very helpful and I enjoy my course .
Good university with great support but okay SU
Overall good experience, the SU being the main highlight.
Friendly atmosphere and everything you need contained within walking distance
There are a wide range of skills to be learnt through the students union which help increase employability skills along with fun social activities for your spare time.
Very good and enjoyable experience
To be honest I haven’t been to uni in a month
Very good environment for studying, love the variety of study areas!
Awesome cozy rooms with personal showers
Very helpful with giving advice on how to proceed with my educational journey.
Really good, always student support when needed
