The course structure is not very specific on the website and I was wondering what specific math topics are part of the course? Also how are the profs and the classes in general? Are students satisfied? Since it probably isn’t a very popular course at Cardiff I’m wondering how active the community is.

Hi guys I’m an incoming dental student I was wondering how students have to take their exams? Would it be online like most unis or in person exam halls? Or just certain exams in halls

Hi, I just moved to Cardiff from Canada and I’m starting at Cardiff University in a few weeks. Wondering how to figure out which bus to take? I live on Dumballs Rd. Feeling very lost. Please help. Thanks!

Do y’all know how long the student compliance team takes to send you a link to fill for the CAS statement for international students?? Their replies are so slow and I can’t even call them directly on a number. I need my visa extended so my cas needs to include academic progression. But they just said we need to check if you can study or not?? Wym study or not took me ages to get into medicine 😭😭

Hi everyone,

I’ll be moving to Cardiff from November to February (around 4 months) as a visiting PhD Candidate at Cardiff University, and I’m currently looking for short-term rental options. I’d really appreciate any advice or recommendations.

A few specific questions I have:

• Are there any reliable agencies or websites you’d recommend for finding a small studio or a room in a shared flat on a short-term basis? I've heard bad reviews about CPS Homes and Horyzon.
• Regarding areas to live in Cardiff: I’ve heard good things about Canton, Pontcanna, Cathays, Roath, and Heath. On the other hand, I’ve also come across some less positive reviews about Grangetown, Adamsdown, Splott, and Ely. Do you have any recommendations (good or bad) about these neighbourhoods, or maybe others I should consider?
• Any additional tips for finding accommodation for just a few months would be very welcome.

Budget: around £1000/month (either for a studio or a room in a shared flat).

Thanks a lot in advance for your help!

Heyy

Anyone starting the Msc Computing in September looking to connect with people! 😊

I’m going into year 2 Accounting and Finance at Cardiff uni. I’m excited to join. I applied for both banking and finance and accounting and finance. I applied for advanced entry so I only got into Accounting and Finance bsc (and fair enough, I was previously doing Accounting and Finance so it makes sense to only get an advanced entry for this). But there are a lot of Courses in the banking and finance degree that interest me that aren’t part of the ACF curriculum. These include courses like: Risk management Financial Economics Money banking and finance. My question is, even though it’s not part of the course outline, is Cardiff uni likely to allow me to take these courses as electives if I request them to?

Hi guys I will be joining Cardiff in September for dent and I’m honestly so nervous. Should I do anything to prepare for it academically? Study tips? Honestly any tip academically or not would help

I have just been offered a room in University Hall and am quite worried about the fact that it seems to be so far away?

I don’t have a car so I’d have to rely on public transport or paying for a taxi/uber which isn’t great because I probably won’t be able to afford that (it also means I’m super far away from anywhere I might try and get a job which worries me)

I’ve heard it described as a bit isolated/an island and I often struggle to socialise even when I want to and I’m worried the distance will make that even worse. I planned on starting lots of clubs and societies but I’m anxious that I’ll use all my spare time actually getting to the places I want to go?

It was super low on my list of preferred accommodation for this exact reason!!

Is Uni Hall isolated as it seems because I’m quite worried about it and hope I’m overthinking 😭

Hey everyone 👋

I’m an international student from India, joining Cardiff University this September for MSc.I’ve been allocated a room in Hodge Hall, House A with a shared bathroom setup.

I was wondering if anyone here has lived in Hodge Hall and could share:

• How many people usually share one bathroom? • How many students are there per flat in House ?

• How are the shared bathrooms in terms of cleanliness and availability? • What’s the overall living experience like (noise, facilities, common spaces)? • Anything I should know before moving in? TIA

Hi there, my brother is moving into house G in uni halls in September and was wondering what it’s like there?

He’s currently worried about sharing a bathroom with total strangers and is thinking of dropping out already 😭😭

I personally can’t tell him what it’s like considering I was in Taly north in my first year.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
