What students think about Cardiff University

Zoe, Biosciences, UK, 2021

Cardiff really is surrounded by some scenic gems. It’s in the middle of everything and is so well connected with transport links that you can get pretty much everywhere and anywhere you want.

Ellie, Journalism, UK, 2020

I chose Cardiff because it felt right. It was the first open day I attended and even on that first visit I just really liked the feel of the city, with it already feeling like home.

Thao, PhD in Business and Management, Vietnam, 2022

People are super friendly, and the city is affordable for students . . . There are also plenty of coffee shops and restaurants that you can hang out with your friends.
