Honestly, as a member of the Russell Group, Cardiff University’s academic standards are unquestionable. Many of the teachers are external professors who are well established in academia and have been published in prestigious weekly journals. Cardiff University is also very rigorous and fair in its approach to student examinations. In addition, Cardiff University has a very good infrastructure. The teachers are very welcoming and patient with our university service centres, such as the Student Work Centre. Finally, student accommodation in Cardiff is basically free to book, as there are only a limited number of flats available in the university halls of residence. However, the low cost of living in Cardiff reduces the financial burden on many students. Therefore I think Cardiff University is perfect for students from different places to experience.

The uni offers us convenient and diverse student services. Especially for international students, we have extra support in the language. Staffs overall are friendly and helpful, my problem can be solved effectively most of the time. As for the student’s life, I didn’t participate in many activities as they were not that appealing to me. I hope that there may be more interesting events for international students to let them feel fit in this big family.
