I'm putting Aberdare as my first option, reason being it looks like a quiet place lol. Wanted to go last year but had to defer to this year.
I'm going to be studying biotechnology , so anybody thinking of staying at aberdare hall or from the same course wants to add me on fb ( Habiba Hina ) please do , i am actually bit worried about moving away and such , so it would be nice to know some people beforehand.:jive:

Thinking of putting in my application this weekend. Accepted an offer for biomedical science (neuroscience).
Talybont it my favourite, probably gonna put them top (in the order Court, South, Gate, North, North(medium room)). Gate looks lovely, but its a bit more of a walk than the other. Then I'm also looking at Column hall as I know that it near the biology department. For me, en suite is kind of a must

I really have no idea where to pick, and how do I firm my unconditional offer without seeing the 💲first? I'm in USA so forgive all the questions...

How do you apply?! I confirmed my offer for them to be my firm choice today... just logged onto the SIMS thing but there is no option to actually book accommodation? It just says I need to accept them as my firm choice before I can do anything... but I already have?!
Why is Talybont so popular?

Hey! I've just firmed Cardiff for Chemistry too, I put Column Hall down as my first choice for accom. Column Hall is really good for Chem students as it's not very far from the Cathay campus x

Give it like another day, the system takes like 12 hours to process it and to update SIMS that you have firmed Cardiff :smile: I got my offer yesterday, firmed it and had the same trouble all last night but checked again this morning and managed to apply!

Have now sent off my accommodation choices!

I have put Senghennydd Hall (I'm going to have to learn to spell that!!) as my first choice as it's close to the city centre and to the Uni itself! (I hope)

I've gone for the evening meals option, does anyone know what kind of meals are typically available and if you can choose or if it's a set menu etc?


I'm studying Education :smile:

Cheers! :smile:

They're alright, pretty standard. Plenty of desk space. The shower is more of a wet room than a proper stall like you get in Taly Court, but they look clean and like they'd do the job alright. Small, but you're never gonna get a spacious bathroom in halls!

I have confirmed Cardiff as my first choice for Chemistry too. :smile: I applied to Talybont South, then Court, Gate and lastly North. Apparently South is where it's at! aha
I confirmed Cardiff as my firm choice today for biomedical science and am debating between talybont gate or South as my first choice accommodation. Which one is more social? as that is a big factor for me.

Anyone applied for taly gate as their first choice?

Senghennydd Hall was my top choice however I've just updated it to Gordon Hall as I think I want to take my car with me to Uni now and Gordan Hall has parking spaces!! :P

So many hard decisions to make!
