Is anyone going to Cardiff Met 2012? I will hopefully be going to the school of management to study marketing management, does any body have any advice about the halls at cardiff met ?

[JSU]

I've received a conditional offer for Marketing Management too ! Good to see somebody else has!

Not got a clue about accomodation or anything!

[meganelizabeth94]

I know im trying to get the day off work so i can go to the open day on the 14th of april, but i did email them and they said there is hall packs which they can send you in the post, but i just to see some more pics to see what its like

[JSU]

I'm going to the open day on the 25th Feb, I'll let you know what the halls are like etc

[meganelizabeth94]

How'd you like the open day? Seemed like a quiet one compared to others. I guess the rugby kept people away

[JSU]

I thought the open day was really good. Never been Cardiff before and I really liked the look at the place!

The course sounds interesting and the tutor seems really nice. My offer is an unconditional so I've accepted and definitely going to be at UWIC doing Marketing Management next year!

Glad you liked Cardiff, it's an awesome city. I work in the IT Suite at Llandaff so always get stared at by the open day people!

[JSU]

I loved it, so much better than I expected. It was either between Leeds Met and UWIC but yesterday definitely made my mind up.

Really looking forward to it!

I enjoyed the open day too. I went to the open day in October too, glad I decided to go again.. I only live down the road from Cardiff so it will be convenient for me too.

Definitely going to put it as my first choice and go there in September. Glad you all liked it too.

Although tbh I wasn't too keen on the accommodation (Plas Gywn). It's in a great location and looks very good from the outside, but I thought the rooms were on the small side compared to some others I've seen and although the kitchen was nice, there was no real 'living area'. Will have to think about that but overall enjoyed the day and will be happy to put it as my first choice.

[JSU]

I live about 20 miles away from Manchester so it's about a 4 hour drive to get to Cardiff but yeah, I'm really happy with it.

I liked the look of Plas Gwyn but just rang and you can't apply for accomodation until April. Hopefully though, because my offer is unconditional and I live far away that I'll be one of the first picks for Plas Gwyn, fingers crossed!

Is there like a Facebook page for UWIC '12, for people who have applied etc... I had a look but couldn't find anything.

[Danscch]

I think when you've confirmed your place there they send you an accommodation pack or something.

Can't find any fb page or anything..

[JSU]

I've confirmed my place though. She said I couldn't apply until April :/

[meganelizabeth94]

I wasnt able to attend the open day just gone, so i have to wait for the one thats in april, how ssmall was the plas gywn rooms ? im still thinking about whether to go to plas gywn cus its cheap and close or whether to apply for halls through liberty living

[Danscch]

They were a bit on the small side for me I think. I wouldn't say they were generous sizes but you could live in them easily I suppose. The one they showed us felt slightly smaller than this one on their website http://www.uwic.ac.uk/virtualtours/a...%20Bedroom.mov

I'm also considering staying at liberty living.

[JSU]

Go Plas Gywn !

[JSU]

Think i've found a FB page if anybody is interested. I've not joined yet but will if more people do :P
