Good university, good value for money, lots of societies and socials every Wednesday for sports societies in the SU. Only thing is it's not a campus university so it's quite a walk to lectures, something to keep in mind.

After a dip in overall rankings, Cardiff r putting big investment into the campus. Teaching at least on my course can be a bit unorganised and haphazard and some facilities lacking and dated but overall incredible environment, good nightlife (a scene for everyone) and amazing society’s and SU. Student housing is a bit crap but it’s being worked on and it’s only for a year. Sense of community is what makes the place.

Since Cardiff was my insurance choice it has beaten my expectations of it in so many ways.

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.
