If you're coming to Cardiff because of it's 'Russell Group status', don't be blinded to its faults. I would advise looking very hard at whether a) You want to live here. b) The modules you want to take are available and c) You believe you will genuinely be happy studying here. Russell Group status is completely irrelevant once you arrive. Please, please don't think that it makes your course any better. It does not.

I am a second year architecture student and so far my experience has been great. Cardiff University offers students all the facilities they need. Recently, the students union building was renovated so spending time there is much more enjoyable. I am also on the uni fencing team. The athletic union has always provided us with equipment and transport for competitions. Overall, I believe that Cardiff as a city is a good value for money and is also one of the best universities in the UK.

I had such fun there. Best experience of my life. The departments allowed me to pursue a life in academia after my undergraduate. The lecturers I had were all inspiring.

As an MA student, who previously studied at an apparently less prestigious institution, I'm unsure Cardiff University deserves the praise it deserves. I'll put the pros first and cons second. Pros - The rent around cardiff is mostly reasonable and the accommodation tends to reflect what you pay for. -The libraries are numerous and the staff there are friendly and more than willing to help - The nightlife is varied and pretty welcoming to all peoples, regardless of creed or wallet size. - The skills support people are kind and are open to helping you. They evidently card Cons - The faculty who teach MA programmes are jaded, don't really seem enthusiastic about their subject and are unwilling to clarify question briefs. - As a masters student I thought I'd have free reign to write as I pleased, as long as it was 'on topic.' I was wrong. You are confined to the course content almost exclusively. Boring. - You will receive almost no useful feedback, even after multiple conversations

The physical university is nice but the services it provides are largely sub-par and unhelpful
