Diversity

Hii yall i was wondering whether Cardiff or Sheffield uni have a higher percentage of south asian/ brown students.

Hi! Answering this as a brown student in Cardiff 🙂 I don't think I'm able to say a specific number as I'm unsure myself, and I guess, by higher percentage, I would ask what are you comparing it to? But I definitely think Cardiff is quite diverse. There's loads of societies and socialising events that cater to brown and south asian culture - I'll link this here.

I think walking around campus as well I've never felt like the minority, if that makes sense.

Let me know if you had any other questions

Sorry if it was unclear, I was wondering between Cardiff and Sheffield. I’ve heard other unis do societies for SA/brown students where they dress up in trad clothes etc. Does Cardiff have this?

Oh yes definitely! All international societies usually do this, but I would say some societies hold events for this more often such as MENA society. The Student Union also holds an annual event called Culture Cwtch, it's basically this big event where all the international societies have food stalls of their respective cuisines, and there are usually performances done on stage. There's also an event called Go Global, which is an evening where students do different cultural performances 🙂 I believe students who are watching are welcome to dress up in their traditional clothes as well.

Hope that answered your question!

Do you think Cardiff is diverse? I’ve read a few other Cardiff ambassadors saying it’s debatable
