Cardiff

Cardiff has a number of clubs catering to a wide array of music styles and preferences. There is both a large student scene and also a organic growing scene for underground music. Food in Cardiff is diverse as well as most major reasturant chains we have many smaller places to eat which are cheaper. The st David’s centre is huge and provides a great shopping experience, with lots of flagship stores and large department stores. There is lots of things to do in Cardiff and also many excursions a short journey away such as parks, mountains and beaches which are all great for days out of the city. As far as valuebfor money goes cardiff is cheap to live in, there are plenty of discount supermarkets and cheap places to eat and drink. Rent is also cheaper in the city centre than many other cities.

Small enough to get around easily but packed with everything you could possibly need. Great transport links to the rest of the country with amazing beaches and hiking on your doorstep too

Cardiff is presumably the best city in the world! The bars, the nightlife, the location, entertainment! Nights out are fantastic! It has everything. It’s the capital city of Wales and Cardiff City are in the premier league! Not forgetting Cardiff Bay where you can take boat rides and watch amazing musicals at the Wales Millennium Centre.

It’s a good place for shopping and going out for food, along with concerts. Nice place to spend the day.

Cardiff is a fantastic student city and the university is perfectly situated on the edge of the city centre. Cardiff is definitely my favourite city in the south of the United Kingdom, offering a great night life, a bustling city centre and options such as Brecon for days out.

OK so location! Cardiff is great in terms of its location, not to overcrowded and everything is pretty much near with honestly no driving needed! You can use a bike and then not need to spend money on the gym! The shopping centre is big and very much in the centre of Cardiff with a variety of stores and restaurants! Lots of activities too from horse riding, ice skating, swimming and rock climbing! Also let me tell you somthing especially for the students...you're gonna love this! Cinema tickets on cost £2.90 here yes I said it £2.90 at cineworld! Go on tell ur friends, let's move to Cardiff! It really is amazing here.

Good size of city, everything you need in walking distance. Lots to do, and lots of events such as rugby, concerts, international and club football etc. good restaurants and shops.

Cardiff is a great capital city where everything can be found nearby. A vast amount of restaurants to choose from, Cardiff won't leave anyone hungry. The shopping centre is massive and caters for everyone's needs. Overall it's a very artistic city with plenty of entertainment.

Cardiff University is perfectly located near to the centre of Cardiff. It is walking distance to everything in the city and this makes it perfect for students who would like to save money on transport. Cathays, where students move to after halls, is a student hub and there are very few non students in this area.

The university is a 5 minute walk from Queens Street train station and a little further to Central Station. It's also 8 minutes down the road from the bus stops. The university is also 5 minutes away from the shopping centre where there are plenty of restaurants, to-go restaurants, clothing and other popular shops. As well as this, there are also loads of bars and nightclubs 10 minutes away. The only downfall is that eventhough the uni is right by the city centre, there isn't much to do in the summer. The only entertainment is the cinema and the mini golf which isn't that good in the summer when you want to do something outside. There's also a lack of large supermarkets around which makes it difficult to do a food shop as all the food shops are small and pricey.

Cardiff is a great city, so great I decided to stay here for University (its where I’m from originally) the night life and city in general is amazing, with a variety of things to keep yourself entertained including theatres,cinemas and a variety of clubs and other activities. Bute and Roath Park are very close to the city centre for a relaxing time and the Bay is only a short walk/bus or train ride away which always leads to a lovely day out.

Cardiff is a lovely small city with enough variety, without the crowded nature of cities like Manchester and Birmingham. The city has 4 universities, each occupying fairly different areas of the city- therefore creating an important divide. However the sheer number of students means nights out are guaranteed to be fun, and without fear of creepy locals. Cardiff is an insanely cheap city to live in- rent is around £300ppcm for a double room in a shared house- much better than other student cities. Furthermore the city centre and student areas are full of budget friendly, but amazing, places to eat and shop.

Plenty of restaurant choices in city centre. Variety of shops. Attractions.nesrby to visit when. Cardiff castle, st fans and Cardiff bay. Big city with lots to do.

Cardiff has the perfect location; having lived in the countryside for a majority of my life it was important to me that where I went to uni was had all the things I needed within walking distance (since I was so used to needing a car or bus even to get to the nearest shop) Like night clubs, the library, shops, gym, etc. I’m also a big fan of the coast, so Cardiff was able to offer me the city, the bay, and even beaches a short train ride away from the centre. Another great thing about Cardiff’s location is the number of gardens and parks within short distances from my house and from the centre, meaning you still get big, open, green spaces, like Bute Park, even in the middle of the city.

Cardiff is a great place to live with big city events but the quaintness and safety of a small town. The city centre and neighborhoods like pontcanna are probably the best areas to explord and Cardiff University sits really close to both. Theres lovely parks, great shopping areas and the restaurants arent too bad although things are pretty pricey for what you get. Overall great experience.

Great student city with lots going on! Everyone lives in the same area (Cathays) and you always bump into people you know. Best nights out and plenty of shops in the area.

Cardiffs a great location! Loads of people, great nightlife, shopping and food! Always something to do! By far the best city for uni students

It’s super nice and friendly location - everything you need in one place. Cheap entertainment for example the cinema tickets are only two pounds and ninety pence for students. It is a campus university but you can pretty much get anywhere by walking for around maximum 30 minutes

Cardiff is a beautiful bustling city, loads to do, and close to my home. There are plenty of places to eat and shop whether you're on a budget or not.

Good sized city - not too big that it’s daunting or you feel lost and not too small so you don’t feel like you’re still in your home town. Everyone is friendly, a nice atmosphere. Especially busy on match days! St David’s shopping centre is massive and has pretty much all the shops you could want - however places like Bristol are only about an hour away on the train if you fancied a change of scenery. Loads of places to eat, especially out of the city centre in places like city road. There’s all the big standard clubs if that’s what you’re in to, but there’s a club, venue or themed nights to suit nearly every music taste. Summer brings lots of rooftop and outside day parties! If clubbing isn’t your thing there and endless clubs and bars to have a drink in. Cardiff definitely has a good mixture and something for everyone.

Cardiff is the perfect student location. It is a student village. Great shopping and nightlife. Quickly makes youu feel at home

The location of the school and engineering is right next to the town centre. Which means that it is easy to go into town between lecture and because we live opposite the building we are close to everything really.

Wonderful opportunity to meet people, social events and nights out. City feels very safe and has lots of nights on, yet arguably less variety of musical nights. Jazz clubs are wonderful. Cheap housing and general living costs are quite low. It is easy to walk around the city and get between universities and accommodation without needing a car. (public transport also everywhere) Plenty of shopping opportunities - two shopping centers, and more independent shops. Cathays (student area) has many smaller supermarkets and shops/pubs without even going to town. Same with huge variety of restaurants/bars and things to do.

with night clubs, restaurants , cafés and shops of any genre - cardiff is the place to go to university! Whether living in student accommodation located in the heart of the city, or a simply 10 min walk to student town ‘Cathays’ , you are never short of entertainment or something to do.
