Cardiff University Accommodation 2016

Hey Everyone, I am the senior student academic rep for Cardiff University.

This thread is to advise you on accommodation and answer any questions about any of the specific halls you may have.

An extensive list of Halls Groups will be provided to help you meet your fellow housemates once allocations have been given out.

I hope you and your friends find this useful and I look forward to reading your questions soon!

Hi, I'm really stuck between putting down taly gate or taly south as my first choice accommodation for 2016/17 do you have any details on either or which one you think would be better?
I have a car but I'm not too fussed about taking it to uni that would just be an added bonus if I could. I want to be in a social accommodation and I'm a little worried taly gate might not be as social as taly south would be.
Thanks for your help

Hi, I am hoping to come to cardiff next year and was just wondering if you could advise me on whether talybont court or gate is better!

Hey! I'm hoping to go Cardiff this year and was convinced that I wanted to go to Talybont South, but then I saw this:

Now I'm so stuck): I want somewhere social, but CLEAN

Talybont gate is a new accommodation so everything is of almost brand new quality. Its also closer to a huge Tesco and a few fast food restaurants. However it's a little bit further from uni.
Talybont court is closer to uni by 10 minutes than from Talybont Gate. The accommodation is slightly older but still better than Talybont South and North.

Hi! I'm looking to study law in Cardiff in September 2016. I'd like to know which among Cardiff University Residence Hall is the nearest to the law faculty. Also, I'm planning to stay in an ensuite room. Which then is the best choice of accommodation for me? Thank you

Hi. When can we start applying for the accommodation? Do we have to reply on UCAS before we can start applying? Also, as I could be studying at Heath Park, which hall of residence is the closest? Right now I like Uni hall but I don't know how far it is to health park.

What would you recommend in terms of accommodation? I'm looking for self catered en suite somewhere relatively quiet and clean (although I do realise I'm unlikely to find both)

hi, I've applied for my accommodation and I was wondering are you more likely to get your higher preferences if you applied earlier or does this not make a difference? thank you so much!

Hi! I'm stuck between Talybont Gate or Talybont Court? I know that gate is newer, but for the extra waking distance to the uni (I'l be in the redwood building) is there really anything at gate that would make it much better to choose instead of court?
