Hi, which accommodation do you think is best for medics as in, not too noisy? Also, which one would you say has the friendliest atmosphere?

Hi I would say Talybont Gate is best for medics..a lot of the first year medics this year lived in Taly North, and some in South.. Uni halls is very close to the Heath Hospital but a bit far from where your anatomy practicals will be held..so It kind of depends on what you are looking for.

Ahh... I'm look for something cheap, really Do you know which has the largest bedrooms?

Taly Court has very large rooms, from there I would probably say Taly North are medium sized but the beds are fairly small. Liberty living have also quite big rooms. Tbh the more you pay the better quality/size you get almost.

Which has the bigger rooms, taly north (regular sized - not reduced) or taly south, this is a HUGE deciding factor between the two as I am totally stuck.

I dont see the point paying like 600 more for taly court as it is so out of the way of the other talys and far from the tesco.

Is Talybont gate really far from Lectures? On the website it says 30 minutes!
Also, how is Liberty house? Its really close to Heath campus, a 5 minute walk.

@DaisyWorthington,
Hello! What residence would you recommend staying in?

Also, I read in the prospectus that Cardiff "offers overseas students a single occupancy room in University residences during term time and vacations for the whole of your degree programme."
Does this mean that as an international student I can stay in the uni accommodation for the full 5 years or just the first year?
