Cardiff University has a fantastic student life. Although not a typical campus university, most places in the city are student friendly with cheap prices and friendly atmosphere. The Student Union offers a range of clubs and societies that cater to many different people so you're bound to find something you're interested in!

As a recent graduate of Cardiff University, I can easily say the uni gave me the best three years of my life. It ticks all the boxes with its friendly Welsh charm, pretty greenery in the form of Bute/Roath park and amazing nightlife. What more could a student want?! For this reason, I would definitely recommend anyone to visit an open day.

The student union is awesome. A great place to study (especially third floor) with great food with reasonable prices. The only concern is if they can provide more tables on the third floor to allow fill utilisation of the space to study.

Really great uni in a great city! Student union has lots of fun activities always going on. Lots of library facilities, which give out free snacks when it’s revision period.

I love how the university is so close to the city, but still has a campus feel. The city is perfect for students, and the SU is the best.

I am now in third Year at Cardiff uni and I’ve loved every second of it! I’ve made the best friends and the city is beautiful with everything in walking distance which is perfect as a student. I study medicine and the course is brilliant too and I know that’s the general consensus for most courses!

The students union is probably the best thing on campus. We have many help and study facilities as well as cafeterias and restaurants. The outdoor balconies are also great in summer! We have a global opportunity centre that offers bursaries to take us abroad as well as free language classes offered by the languages for all scheme.

The campus is spread out yet everything is close together and well organised.

Perfect for students! Everything is within walking distance! Lidls is the midpoint amoungst the different campuses #studentlife! I’m doing a healthcare course, the campus is abit furthest than the other campuses but has everything on site; library, lecture rooms, tutorial rooms, students union, hospital, shops etc. Cheap living costs make the city student friendly. The students union offers so many activities to trial. They run a “give it a go” progreamme which enables you to get a taster into the acitivity and whether you’d want to commit to any societies!

Cardiff University has wonderful facilities to cater to all students, the skills centre and careers services are particularly noteable! I have always felt supported throughout my time here! The students union is enough to draw ANYONE to Cardiff! As well as being a nice modern space to do work or socialise! The nights out here are by far the best in Cardiff! Student friendly prices and atmosphere, I could not fault it! I would find very little negative things to say regarding my time at Cardiff Umiversity.

Studying optometry at Cardiff has been amazing. The building we study in is brand new and all our lectures are in the same building.

Great university! Excellent facilities in main campus, great night life and events run by the student union! There’s always something to do! The union send weekly job alerts for those looking to work alongside their degree. Very supportive and have great facilities for learning including 24 hour library access.

Good university with good buildings on the campus. The lectures are very well laid out and the lecturers themselves are very good.

Cardiff uni is GREAT! You have all of the benefits of living in a capital city with awesome venues, nightlife and history but compacted into a tiny city. The university buildings are a beautiful mix of grandeous, old school buildings and modern, high tech facilities. I think the student population is somewhere around the 30,000s meaning that the general atmosphere walking around Cardiff is very friendly and inclusive. The students union is giant! I mean it’s really big, it even has a railway line going through it! Cardiff uni is amazing and I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else.

Amazing university but not enough support for struggling students. Whether they’re struggling with the course itself, or funding. There just does not seem to be enough support or resources available.

Before leaving school, I was in the debate as to whether or not was the right university for me. I was also in debate about whether my course (law and criminology) was right for me. My experience, over the past two years has confirmed to me that I made the right decision. Lecturers/professors/tutors are easy to talk to and easy to ask questions. They are also very supportive and understanding. The facilities are great -basic and in some areas dated, but that's the great thing about Cardiff. Besides, who doesn't want to bump into Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Who from time to time?

Amazing university. The spread our campus in the centre of the city is an ideal location for living and studying at university. I’ve had good experiences with all of my lecturers and modules.
