Well Cardiff's medical school is based on heath park campus, this is about 1-1.2 miles away from cathays campus (which has every other subject pretty much), but you will also spend time (especially for research and anatomy teaching) down at biosciences in cathays, hence it is usually better to stay at accomodation in between the two.
Talybont is cardiffs accommodation village based a 10-15 minute walk from the SU and a 25 minute walk from heath park. It is also around a 30 minute walk into the main town centre and a 5-10 minute walk from maccies, a KFC and a MASSIVE tesco. Their is also a smaller tesco as well as a sports centre and social club in taly/right nextdoor.
Talybont is made up of 4 accomodation blocks which each vary in style, size and price right from high £3000s per year to £5000 per year. All are ensuite
Other options include:
Uni halls: very far out but a big complex which has a free bus to both campuses and most are ensuite.
Liberty hall: more expensive option right next to heath park
There are also loads of different options near cathays (google cardiff accommodation)
Most medics can be found in Talybont but there are a lot of us spread in all accommodation blocks. You are not placed with other medics no its random, but there will usually be one very close by.
