Most helpful review

It is a very good school, very humane, very caring for international students, with a strong academic atmosphere, many places to review and learn, and the library of the main building is also very suitable for learning.

Really love Cardiff university, the lecturing is very good and lecturers are available to see for one to one help which I find very helpful, especially when writing coursework essays. There are a very wide range of societies and I have loved being a member of Broadway dance in particular, I have met so many great people and made some really good friends through it.

The city itself is brilliant but sadly the university, or at the least the way the university is run, let's it down. The overall administration, especially within the law school, is bordering on a shambles, and much of the teaching isn't much better. Luckily the university has some fantastic societies and many other things to get involved with to make the experience enjoyable. Moreover the fact the university is in the Russell group helps to give it some credence, otherwise it wouldn't be a surprise to see employers overlook you, at least within some subject areas.

A beautiful city that isn't chaotic and expensive like London, but still has so much to do. The campus is lovely and all the people are so friendly.

Studying Occupational Therapy. It's a great course! Great lectures and facilities. There's a great range of societies to get involved with and they're very open to you setting up a new society if you can't find what you're looking for! They're also awesome at offering overseas funding for volunteer projects and have a great study abroad scheme (erasmus) for those who wish to spend 3 months to a year studying abroad. Cardiff's also a great city with lovely people. That's my experience anyway.

Cardiff University is a brilliant place to study. The city of Cardiff is small enough that it doesn't take very long to get anywhere and big enough it never feels crowded and has everything you need. Cardiff University Staff have always been great for anything I have ever needed them for and there is WIFI EVERYWHERE!!!!!

Cardiff Uni

I'm at Heath Campus, even though it's on hospital grounds they've done everything they can to facilitate for students. Lecturers are good and supportive.

Cons?
Need a bigger space for lunchtime.
