I have been put into university halls, and I’m just really dreading it being so far away from everything. I know that there are buses and stuff but like… idk. Is there an option for changing accommodation if I haven’t confirmed my choice yet? I know there probably isn’t but just asking. Anybody else staying in university halls even?
Loads of people stay in university halls since it's one of the cheaper options. I have a few friends already attending Cardiff (I'm starting in Sept!) and a couple of them stayed in university hall and I don't think they had many complaints aside from the distance to get to lectures (bus should solve that? You can also pay for a car park spot I think)
If you're that unhappy and have a valid reason for an accommodation switch, you can email Residences. It should be the same email that was used to tell you which accommodation you're staying in. :O

That’s the one thing I’m happy enough about, it being cheaper is nice.

Hi there,
I'm sorry that you're unhappy. However my response reflects the one above. You can email [email protected] if you're very unhappy. Yet, I've heard no major problems with university halls other than the distance. Can I ask what your course it?

I contacted cardiff uni because I had the exact same concerns as you, and they said that it will be better than we think, and that it’s very much a community because of this. In terms of going out, people split taxi fares so it’s not that expensive and if not it’s a 40 minute walk, where i’m sure people will go together. However, if you don’t like it, you can ask to swap early october, but they haven’t announced the date for that yet ps out of curiosity what house are you ? i’m in coachman’s
