As much as the word 'firmers' annoys me, it seems the best way to sum up this thread. Many of the other threads seem a little out of date or not as relevant, so I thought I would start up a new one.

For anyone who has made Cardiff their firm choice for September, this is a place to discuss accommodation, courses and anything else really.

So to kick start the posts (I will laugh if no one else posts), i've placed Senghennydd Court as my first choice as I will be studying Astrophysics!

ps, if any one has actually already started such a thread, please let me know.

I had a laugh, but then felt sorry and decided to post!

Firmed Engineering with a foundation year. First choice accommodation is Talybont court, followed by Cartwright court and then Senghennydd court!!

I'm actually bursting with excitement, just cannot wait!!

I insured Southampton, but the more I read about Cardiff, the more I will be gutted if I don't make my offer!!! Good motivation but!

Well it's probably a good job that you decided to be nice and post as I am pretty sure the physics and engineering building are connected?

Yes, I know what you mean. I've put Leeds as my insurance, but I have to get into Cardiff. It's so goood. I just want to start the course tomorrow and skip my exams.

I've firmed Soton and insured Cardiff (for physics/maths duel honors), so let's hope we don't end up on the same place!

In reality though I'd be very happy to go to Cardiff, it's a great place and the city looks really nice.

Haha, that would be pretty funny. Or you may end up in Cardiff and I may be at Soton!
I really loved the campus in Soton, but really didn't think much of the city. I mean I liked the docks and parts of the centre, but the rest......

Although in saying that it's a great insurance to have, as I said before I loved the campus!

I gave it a lot of consideration, but in the end another trip to Cardiff firmed my choice!

Unconditional for English Language.

Put Seng Hall as my first choice although only just submitted it as when I thought I sent it a few weeks back I only pressed save! Stupid me!

Cannot wait.

[never too late]

Firmed Cardiff for Law with French!

Still in a dilemma about which accommodation to choose, and really stressing out as it's first come first served! Anybody else really like the look of University Hall? Only problem is it's a really long distance from the city and main campus...

Yeah I really liked it, although the distance thing was just too much. I want to be close to the city etc... at least for the first year!

I put Talybont Court first choice, then Cartwright..... Can't wait!!

I firmed Cardiff for English Lit and I really hope I get the grades I need. My accommodation list looks like this:

colum hall
taly south
taly north reduced
taly north
taly north small
senghennydd court
uni hall (ensuite)
aberdare hall
uni hall
aberconway hall

but I'm not sure whether to update it and move senghennydd up the list, since taly north is quite a way out from the lecture halls, town etc.

[Sophiem9412]

Confirmed Cardiff for sociology and criminology
have chosen senghenydd court as my first but wondering whether to put taly North more near the top
excited!!
hope I get the grades now xD

Firmed Cardiff for Computer Science.
Accommodation wise, the Talybont's first followed by Senghennydd Court!

I've found a lot of people who have applied for Senghennydd Court computer science sounds brilliant!

You must really want to go to Taly! It's too far away from physics, otherwise I may have gone there. Maybe move Senghennydd. I love Senghennydd! Although, it does depend on the located of your lectures.

University Hall looks beautiful! Depends on whether you fancy travelling so far every day really. Maybe make some lists. Pick the most important things (like cost and distance from lectures) and then see which places come highest. That's what I did

That sounds like a good idea! Only trouble is I want everything...nice surroundings, close to lectures, cheap (ish), en suite, good atmosphere but not too loud aha! As I never made it to the initial open day, i'm at a bit of a disadvantage as I never saw any of the halls, so I've decided to go down for another visit and check them out
