Cardiff University applicants thread!

Just firmed cardiff for physics with medical physics!! so excited

How long after the open day did they offer you? i have applied and going to an open day tomorrow? Do you think this is anything i should know about?

I've got an offer of AA Welsh Bacc for English Literature I'll definitely be firming.

I had the same offer for English Literature and have recently firmed it

Now just have to keep my head in the June exams....

I firmed it too a few days ago. See you there (hopefully! )

Did you go to the open day?

I didn't go to the open day - I went last year
Which accommodation are you hoping to be in?

Ah fair enough!
I'll hopefully either be in Talybont South or Talybont Court. I'd rather go in Court because it seems nicer but its a lot more expensive so I'll probably end up putting South as my first choice! What about you?

Hey, do you know when do we get the forms and stuff for picking accommodation?

I can't afford Court, but I really want to live in South - that'll be my first choice North will probably be second, it seems like the majority of the student community is in Taly

It's gonna be hard to rank 16 choices though... I only want to be in Taly!

The form is on the student portal - the admissions service should have sent you two emails after you applied giving you your login details.

From what I've heard, applications for 2012/13 won't start until the end of march, to early april. But you could probably get started trying to decide on your list of 16, in order of preference!

I've been told by a few people to avoid Taly North as it's not exactly in good condition apparently :P




I haven't had any emails from Cardiff and I firmed 5 days ago

I recieved the emails after first sending off my UCAS application, before any offers were made or I firmed the uni. Have you backtracked through your email inbox? The emails were sent to me in October, a week or two after my referee sent my application in to UCAS

I've heard this too, but socially it's a great place to be, and I've heard that a lot of the other large halls, eg. Senghennydd Court & Uni Hall can be worse :/ I've also just found a video on youtube called something along the lines of 'Talybont North Reduced', which tours one of the smaller rooms and blocks, and it looks perfectly fine, particularly compared to a blog I came across the
other day which included pictures of Senghennydd Court, which seemed really tiny, grimy and outdated.
