Cardiff University 2015 Accommodation Choices!!

any one going to colum or will i be alone

Hi is there anyone in the Colum Road student houses?

I have been allocated Talybont North but I'm looking to swap with someone so that i can be closer to the main building. If anyone's interested in a swap let me know.

I know that halls are generally the done thing, but I ended up in the Student housing (Village) last year, and I would urge any of you not to dismiss it. It's the cheapest, living in a house is absoloutly lovely, plus the location was amazing, I was right outside the SU (And noise wasn't a problem), the train station just across the road and within five minutes walk of town or any of the uni buildings. I am so glad I chose it (Originally because it was cheapest) and don't regret not going into halls at all. It's probably not the best if you're doing medicine or such courses due to it being far from the Heath campus, but for any others (In our house we had everything from Engineering to History) it was the best.

Hi, I am glad someone talked about student house ( village) , otherwise all i was hearing about was the halls. I was so sure that I am really going to end up in a bad one. thanks a lot. I have been allocated to Ruthin gardens and yet to meet my flatmates . I have heard that the houses do not have wifi connections,is it true?

Yeah, I was keen to try and promote them as I was in your situation last year where nobody could tell me about the houses! Annoyingly they do not have wifi, but if you organise with your housemates it can be got quite cheaply between you, if your house has 8 people like mine it is less than £5 per month each, plus if you're in Ruthin Gardens (I was in No. 23) you are literally less than 100m from the Students Union where there are comfy seats and free wifi.
It is certainly worth trawling the facebook pages to try and find some of your new housemates, though it's not as well organised as the halls sadly, but I really adored my house last year.
If you have any other questions about the Student village or about Cardiff or freshers year in general please feel very welcome to send me a message!

I am in 20, Ruthin gardens. how many students live together ? and what all facilities are provided?

Why?

I don't think they allow changes, I've tried. Maybe they'll take into account your circumstances though.
