As a capital city, Cardiff is a great place that has all of the amenities you could possibly need as a student, while still being accessible by foot.

Excellent student city! It has a campus feel in the heart of Cardiff city centre. Everything is within walking distance, university, halls of residence, shops, sports facilities and bars and nightclubs. Two main universities to chose from - Cardiff University and Cardiff Metropolitan University, which offer a range of academic and vocational courses. Plenty of sporting events, restaurants and bars and nightclubs to keep you entertained. Alongside, the mountains of the Brecon Beacons and beaches of Vale of Glamorgan are all within 1 hours distance.

Been here for 4 years of uni and the city is perfect for student life. In my time here I haven't had a car, bus ticket, rail card or even a bike, I can get to everywhere I want or need on foot, nothing is more than 30 minutes away. Had experience living in halls of residence, shared houses and on my own and it's always been fine thanks to the people of Cardiff.

Cardiff is a place that has so many things to offer, but is still small enough to not feel like you are in a big city. Cheap public transport has gotten me around the city for over 3 years without any major issues. Cardiff offers a wide range of evening and nighttime activities and events, varying in both class and price. I'd recommend Cardiff to anyone because it has something, somewhere, for every person possible.

Great nights out, places to eat, and things to do! From a cocktail making class to go karting or enjoying a top end meal at the custom house! Shopping in st David’s is unbeatable!

Amazing city, always full of excitement and adventure. The food choice is spectacular and it really shows as they are advertised everywhere. I thoroughly enjoy the night life, clubs, pubs and bars. I always feel completely safe in Cardiff. I am a student and I study at the university, everyone is so caring and really friendly.

Since moving to Cardiff for University, it have become one of my favourite cities. By living in the city centre it is apparent that there is an excellent range of shops/restaurants and activities for anyone of any age. The city also offers great job opportunities of a wide range, with it being so big. Just in our area (St.davids) there are many different food and shopping choices, even a miniature golf course. Also in the Cardiff area, there are a variety of: cinemas, clubs, markets, parks and two great stadiums. The public transport is very accessible in city as the train station is no longer than a 10 minute walk from the main shopping centre. There are also many bus stops surrounding the area, in all different parts. With the main bus stops being at Westagate Street, although you will need the right amount of change if paying by cash; as they do not give change. Although, you can make contactless car payments.

Cardiff is a brilliant city, with every form of entertainment within 2 miles of the city centre. Nothing really is too far, with most things being within walking distance. There are plenty of restaurants, bars and pubs, at a variety of prices.

Cardiff is a great, lively city with lots to do. Transport is regular, however taxis are particularly expensive for students due to taxi drivers often staying ‘fixed prices’ to places that would normally be cheaper. The variety of places to eat around Cardiff is great, and full of delicious food. It would be great to see a few more healthy places to eat.

Cardiff is a city that is full of life. Sanit David's shopping centre is huge and caters for all needs. The nights out are good. There is a lot of variety including bars and nightclubs. Cardiff at Christmas in particular is magical, the Christmas markets are so cute and the decorations make it feel magical. It's a cheap city where I feel safe and at home.

So many things to do! Student accommodation located close to the city centre so getting back after a night out isn't too hard and going for shopping in the day is easy!

Everything you need is within a maximum of 30 minutes walking distance..... lectures, bars, clubs, restaurants and so many places to shop in town. Taxis are easy to get if needed and not too overpriced.

The night life in cardiff is great - there is a club dedicated to every night of the week so you never get bored. There are plenty of shops in town and there is a shopping centre called St. David's which is awesome. There are plenty of restaurants in St.Davids, the hayes or otherwise dotted throughout the city.

The best night life around, no matter what it is you're looking for, you can find something that you'll enjoy! The museum is also really fun (especially if you have kids) and there's a lot of good things to see. The food court in the St David's centre is always full of good options, the brewery court also has some good chain restaurants too! I'm a big fan of Bella Italia and Nandos!

Just an overall great place to live with everything you need and lots going on. So many places to choice from in terms of shops and places to eat out. Great value for money too with cheap cinemas and housing.

Shopping is brilliant and not too expensive with lots of big brand shops but also a huge primark. Wide variety of night life to suit all music tastes and social environments - cocktail bars, pubs and clubs Restaurant choice is probably the weakest area but there is still a good amount, maybe just lacking some lunch time venues as all restaurants in St David's are chains and not relaxing lunch chill out zones. The arcades however are super unique and exciting and so contain a few nice cafes but these are quite expensive.

Cardiff is a city bursting with life. Despite being smaller than the other major cities (which I see as a benefit in itself) the nights out are like no other. The small city means you get to know the area and people quickly and everything is a short walk away. True Welsh spirit flowing through the city, everyone's friendly and always up for a pint. Iechyd da!
