The university is amazing and the staff are exceptionally helpful. Studying a course like medicine is already tough but having a university like cardiff has made life so much easier. I would choose this university every time if I had to study again.

Since Cardiff was my insurance choice it has beaten my expectations of it in so many ways.
Yeah not bad I like it anyway
She was so please to get a place this has spoiled it for us
Easily the worst place I have ever experienced, the student experience here has been awful. I have found the University to be unwelcoming and unfriendly. If you have a problem staff are generally unhelpful or slow to respond and the SU advice service seem to be short staffed and can't do much to help. I signed up for a few societies but limitations on numbers for activities have meant I haven't been able to participate, online signups fill up in under a minute. I haven't engaged with the careers service but I get a lot of unwanted email communications via the University from employers that I can't opt out of. There seems to be an atmosphere of apathy at the University. Eduroam wireless internet can be difficult to connect to at times and IT support is limited. There is no University Health Service for all students. For some subjects you can be some distance from the main campus area which is dissected by rail lines. Buses are expensive. The cost of accommodation is rapidly rising.
Great uni. Nice facilities, everything close together.
My first year at Cardiff has easily been the best year of my life. The staff are helpful, they really care about how well you are progressing in your course and how to help you get the best results you can. The students union is huge and the facilities are amazing, and there is a whole host of sports and other clubs and societies to get involved in. Other students are so friendly and helpful and there are so many places to help if you need anything, from housing and financial advice to support with learning issues and mental health.
Great uni, love it here. Atmosphere, people and services are amazing
Cardiff is both humble and prestigious. I think that the university is really friendly and welcoming and gives you loads of opportunities to get things to make your CV better alongside your degree. The students union is popular and the interior is really attractive.
I have been at Cardiff University for two years now studying Human Geography and honestly it has been amazing. The Uni buildings are beautiful and the teaching is incredible. The social life in Cardiff is brilliant, it has some great parks and when the six nations is on the atmosphere in the city centre is amazing. Clubbing in Cardiff is also good with a range of different clubs such as Pryzm, Live Lounge, the Student Union, Walkabout, etc. If you are a student and you are still choosing a university to go to I would highly recommend having a look at Cardiff.
PG cert. Dreadful. Teach yourself teaching. Unhelpful staff. No guidance. Non evidence based marking of papers. For teachers they should be ashamed of themselves. Yes I did receive a good pass. But only because I researched myself. I've registered with another university.....what a difference for the better!
