Most helpful review

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.

Student Review: 3.8 /5
By member1320082 On 1st December 15 verified Verified student

We have roughly 14 libraries to suit different subjects, hours, and needs. The clubs and societies are amazing, very enthusiastic, and Cardiff are quite good in terms of winning against other Universities, the best in Wales. I've seen better SUs. Nontheless it has everything a student could need to offer. The Taf (student pub) has constant rubbish staff and alcohol prices. I don't use the Careers Service, but there is a lot of enthusiasm around it and information on it for those that want or need it. Wifi is usually poor.

There is so much going on at Cardiff! All of the societies and social events are a great way to make friends and have a good time. The uni is spread out but not too spread out so everything is in walking distance which is good. Some things are over priced such as the gym and the food in the student union but other than that I love it.

Love the University and its facilities. Also part of the Business Society and the American Football team who organise great socials and are a great way of meeting new people. The location is amazing too, a mix of city life but also great scenery and parks too.

Really impressed by the facilities in general. Things available in the SU are great, especially the student pub to watch rugby games and eat delicious, cheap food. Events are good too,

The Arts and Social Sciences library is very useful, easy to locate books needed. The staff there are very helpful and friendly as well. Lectures for English are in the Law Building and Biosciences as there aren't any in the John Percival Building. Those buildings can therefore be very busy. IT equipment can be temperamental in lectures which can disrupt presentations (Word and PowerPoint). Wide range of societies offered, locations not always ideal. SU has a nice atmosphere, can become very crowded at times. WiFi is mostly reliable, only occasionally faulty.

amazing university to go to, there is always something going on in cardiff, and the university campus is beautiful. Only downside is the Internet and high prices of food and drink is university building cafeterias and convenient shops.

Everything's great! Lovely people, nice city (although the weather could be better...) and the Uni is fantastic. The wi-fi could be better, but even then it isn't too bad and covers a huge area
