Cardiff University applicants thread!

I just went through all my e-mails since before my application was sent off - I received a "We have received your application" email and an advert for Thrive but nothing else.


It depends when the video is from - I spoke to someone that stayed there a few years ago and they said it was okay.

^ the aforementioned video of a Talybont North Reduced room/flat

and for anyone considering University Hall as accommodation this may also come in handy:

A friend of mine rang the accommodation services today and she was told that they're expecting applications to open at the end of the week!

I hope so! I want to get my choices down!

For anybody who hasn't seen the residences in person this video is quite useful:

They showed this video to us on the English open day. It's very useful to get a feel of the accommodations

Which choices have you decided on?

Had an email yesterday from Cardiff inviting me to an open day and an interview for computer science with forensics and security any tips anyone?

I'm hoping to go to one of the Talybonts. Preferably Court or South. And yourself?

Congratulations! I had an open day/interview for Computer Science early December. I wouldn't worry, the interview is just an informal chat. It will be a tour of the campus/su and information about the course.

Enjoy it!

thats a relief then haha what's the chances of actually being accepted on the course now then if they've asked me for an interview? and would it be worth taking my grades down there?

I'm so confused about all the accommodation stuff xD I just want a self catered, ensuite close to the main campus

I know what you mean!! Ive heard so many accommodation horror stories! i wish they would hurry up and just open the application process good luck!!

The only thing I've heard is that cardiff is one of the worst for accommodation... I seriously hope this isn't true! XD

Apparently in some places the shower is just a whole in the ground next to the toilet and you have to close the toilet seat when you have a shower..l for obvious reasons

Please don't be like this In Cardiff!

I think Cardiff is actually one of the best for accommodation, it's so much better than many other places I've seen on open days etc. Also I might try and make a video of my Taly Court room this week if any of you are interested!
