Private Halls - Law School

I'm interested in this too as I've applied to Liberty Cambrian Point. I've heard it's the quietest as I'm not interested in the freshers week either. I've posted a few threads asking about this and had no reply... It seems everyone's interested and desperate to get into the talybont party houses. I've even spent quite a bit of time googling liberty living to no avail... Good luck!!

Hey folks,

Will be taking the BPTC course at Cardiff in September.

I'd like some peace and quiet especially since I've passed my whole freshers phase years ago.

Currently looking at Cambrian Point and Severn Point, both by Liberty Living.

Can't seem to decide so would appreciate comments on the atmosphere, facilities and most importantly, the distance from the Law School!

Hello, I will be studying Biomedical science. I chose Cambrian as my first and Column hall as my seconds. I didn't see that the severn point was an option on the application actually...Or maybe I forgot about it. Which one have you chosen as your first choice??

Hi, I havent lived in either of those accomodation blocks but I have walked past them both before. Cambrian point i would say is about a 15 minute walk to the law school, and Severn point i would say is about a 20 minute walk, so neither are too far Column hall that Rapunzel mentioned is right next to the law school it would only be like 5 minutes walk
Hope that helped in some way, you might find more information on google, or about the area using google maps (might get more accurate distances or alternative routes etc)

Edit: just thought i'd add the biomedicine building is about a 2 minute walk from the law building (the psychology building is inbetween the two) so the distance would be pretty much the same

I'm actually applying independently from Cardiff Uni. The only accommodation option the uni gives to BPTC students isTalybont South. As for reasons that you know, I'm trying to avoid that area. :P

Anyways, have you received confirmation of a place at Cambrian already?



Hi rachey,

Thanks for your post, its really helpful to hear from someone who's actually there in person!

I actually thought Severn Point would be closer to the uni - since Severn point's separated by rail tracks - after a quick glance at Google Maps.

Are you a postgrad yourself?
