What could be improved?
Teaching quality, law libraries need to be better maintained, try to have an overall better level of students. Many people in my classes never bothered to do any work. Cardiff University tends to neglect the subjects that aren't bringing in the most money. If you want to study architecture I would definitely recommend this place, but not for law or business.

What was really good about the experience?
Great nightlife and very short walking distance between the accommodation, university buildings and centre of town.

What could be improved?
Cardiff Uni need to do their best to develop themselves. The lowest level in the Russell Group. It's shameful. Also it appeared to me that Cardiff Uni like money too much as with other mid level universities (e.g. too many international students who even cannot follow their lectures). I love Cardiff Uni and am proud of them. But I wish to see top ranked Cardiff Uni as Alumni.
