Official Cardiff University Offer Holders Thread for 2024 entry

I just firmed Cardiff for BEng in Medical Engineering starting in September, I’m from the US and currently considering both private housing and perhaps one of the Senghennydd or Adams Street Gardens as they are closest to the engineering building. We visited the university in November and I’m very excited, hopefully I’ll meet the conditions of my offer come July.

We were originally considering Gordon Hall but everything I’ve read said to avoid it like the plague. I would like an ensuite and close to the engineering building as possible. As of now, private is a strong contender, mainly Fitzalan, Vita, The Neighbourhood, and Eclipse. I like the idea of a studio despite the fact that socializing might be a bit harder.

Hi everyone!

If you have any Cardiff Uni questions, feel free to ask here and I will do my best to answer!

Hi! I've just been offered a place at Cardiff for Media and Communications (🥳) this September and I just wanted to ask, are there a lot of international students? I'm from the Philippines and I'm unable to visit the campus. Thank you!

Hi! I also just wanted to add that the Student Union has an International Students Association that occasionally hold events for international students. There are many cultural societies at the Student Union, including Filipino Society, which holds events for Filipino students and students interested in Filipino culture.

If you were interested in knowing more about the different cultural societies in Cardiff, I'd recommend giving this link a look.

Hope that's helped!

Hi, I got offered for Adults Nursing to start this September. I’m wondering what is the typical day for nursing students is like when starting the course?

Hey! I'm a pharmacy student starting this September too. I figure that you're an international student like me, and I was wondering how you plan to go through the application process for the Adams Street accommodation since it seems like it requires a UK based guarantor, which is different to the rest of the accommodation blocks

All private accommodations require a UK based guarantor or a guarantor company (with a fee), Adams Street is not a university owned accommodation and if I am not wrong they state on the website that if you don’t have a guarantor, you pay the year up front.

We will pay a year up front for rent if I get Adams Street but right now, my parents and I are considering other properties that will put me much closer to the engineering building. With those, I can either pay up front or use a guarantor company recommended by the property management company and pay in instalments.
