Very lively campus, student hub
The timetabling definitely needs fixing
Amazing facilities, super friendly professors and staff and lots of help available for a first year student.
Up to now, I enjoy studying at Cardiff uni due to its available facilities to student all around campus. Everything is pretty walkable which means I get a good amount of exercise in each day. However, it can get quite loud on evenings due to all clubs and pubs since I’m a person who prefers to stay in and watch a film with my friends. But in general I’m very satisfied with my experience so far.
The organisation / administration of the university itself is abhorrent. I’m a 3rd year law student and have only just gotten my full timetable (which is subject to further change anyway so I’m not sure it even counts). Many people are in my exact position, it’s really just not acceptable.
Good experience and good service.
Cardiff University has a great student union, friendly staff and good facilities. Their Career service is exceptional.
I study in the science building opposite Cathays train station. It is quite dated in areas and could do with a revamp like the students union! In the vending cafe the hot water has not worked for a year so is disappointing for someone who stays in the University for long days to study so make food and drink frequently there. I would say that Cardiff Universities' society's are not as accessible and welcoming as I'd hoped them to be. As an older student I often find it hard to connect with others in the University as I do not have as much in common with them, from the few societies that I have tried everyone seems to be very young and don't have as much people skills as I might have and so it can be uncomfortable and I have ended up not going to any societies as I just enjoy being in the science building with like minded people. Maybe a society with mature students would be great to connect people with more life experience. The internet can be slow unfortunately therefore using mobile.
The Student Union is a fantastic organisation that offers a huge amount of services to students, and the variety of sports clubs and societies is unreal. Anyone can find something that appeals to them. The campus is brilliant - newer buildings like the Centre for Student Life are very modern and provide many amenities, while older buildings, while possibly a little rough on the outside are decently functional. The WiFi is OK; I often have issues accessing the eduroam so I often use visitor WiFi. This generally works perfectly and I rarely have issues.
Very good university, it's a decent place
