Cardiff University Psychology (with placement) Students 2016

Hi!I just wanted to see if I could find anyone who will be studying psychology in September because it would be nice to know a few people before the course starts. I live quite close to the university so I won't be staying in accommodation meaning I'll miss out on meeting people when everyone moves in. Also, if anyone wants to ask me questions about the city then feel free! :smile:

I'm probably going to get the SU wristband but I'm not too sure yet between that and the paper parties wristband. Have you decided yet?

That sounds nice, I think I know which building that is if I remember. Are you excited to move to Cardiff? Where are you from?

yeah, i think i'm gonna get the SU wristband just because it seems like the one that most people will go to and would be best for freshers. also we can always pay at the door for other events~

i'm really excited! :banana:
I'm originally from East Sussex, so it's a fair distance away but it isn't too far.

That's exactly what I was thinking. I know a few people who went last year and they said that a lot of the parties at the other clubs around Cardiff still had a lot of room in them so they just bought on the door.

I'm glad you're excited. I can't wait to start now! That's not too bad distance wise then. Did you go to any of the applicant days?

I went to the psychology one they had in December. I was wondering if we could have been at the same one but sadly not

Hey guys, I'm studying the same course and staying at Talybont North! 😊 What's the best Club wristbands to purchase?
Guys, I've just finished my Psychology with professional placement degree at Cardiff, and can I just say you will not be let down. The school of Psychology is fantastic, you'll get such a great insight into the field from the lecturers. And you'll meet some great people there too, some of the lecturers are great characters.

Honestly, it's a fantastic course, hard work no doubt about that, but you gain so much from it. Any questions feel free to ask!

And whatever you do, stick with the professional placement, it is the perfect opportunity to get valuable experience across a whole range of areas. And so valuable in giving you an edge for graduate employment.

Feel quite sad I'm not going back, make the most of it guys!

I'm not sure which wristbands you would find the best because from what I have read there's so many different ones. I'm going to get the SU one. Have you moved in yet? (I'm staying at home so I'm not sure when people are starting to move in)

Hi! That must be so exciting to be coming over from Barcelona. Did you manage to visit Cardiff at all? If you haven't and you have any questions about the city in general I would be happy to try and answer them for you since I've pretty much grown up there.

Btw if anyone wants to become friends and follow me on twitter so we could get in touch before next week it's @/erinmorgan20
