Student review [#35195] for Social Work
at Cardiff University

There are several things I love about CU. For one, the structure of the medical course is very practical and realistic of the clinical environment I will be in for the rest of my career. The faculty are so helpful, approachable and open to any kind of feedback, advice or just a casual chat. The campus itself is stunning, spread out over the downtown Cardiff and the Heath Hospital, with several libraries, study spaces and open areas for socialising. The student’s union has recently been remodelled, and is comfortable, multipurpose and extremely social with plenty of events being organised on a regular basis. Cardiff as a city itself is the perfect amount of bustling and cosy, and is not too big that it gets overwhelming or not too small and empty that it feels boring and lacks variety in activities. Furthermore, as an international student I was very concerned about the culture shock and welcoming environment I’d face at Cardiff Uni and the city, but Wales has defeated all concerns. The people here are always kind and warm and the environment at the university is extremely inclusive of differing opinions. I have also found several people to connect with on a cultural level due to the diversity at the university.
