  • I saw online platforms for student accommodations on FB and websites. Monthly rent for Lumis (my accommodation) was £450. The rooms are really small. Kitchen is communal, so you have to take turns to clean it and throw the trash out. No challenges really. Bathroom was tiny but attached to your room. Electricity was included in rent, which, trust me, is a massive plus. Heating included. There was a laundry room and gym. You had to pay for use. There was also a reading room with a printer attached. You had to pay for printer use. Most of the room and kitchen are furnished. You will need to buy your own bedding though and some utensils. It's good to buy your cooker from India. Other utensils you can get from the pound store in the UK or from an outgoing student. He'd sell it for ultra cheap.
  • In terms of accos, I recommend Lumis and Zenit in Cardiff. Both are good accos. Both accos are at a 12-minute distance from campus, which is not a lot by UK standards.

  • Find your accommodation through known platforms that you get on Google like Amber, Unite Students, etc. If you have any relatives living at the same place, you can easily live with them. If you are going with the application through an agent, you can ask them to find you an accommodation as well since they did this job for long.

  • Off campus. Student accommodations are really good. You can find them through online platforms or agents. If you’re choosing to stay in Cardiff, eclipse is a good option where I stay. They have a lot of facilities. The bedrooms are on suite and the kitchen has a lot of space. They also have a movie room, study rooms, a gym, and party rooms in their facilities, which adds on to your student experience. It is also located in the city center, which gives you a lot of connectivity.

The accommodation varies from price to price, though it is expensive. The outside campus accommodation cost me 172 pounds per week for a Studio and that was not even spacious.

The location of the university is the primary factor that is attracting most of the students including myself. The modern facilities that the university provides like the libraries, laboratories and so on make it convenient to deal with day-to-day courses. There is a strong social community that keeps you connected with people of similar interests and helps you maintain a work-life balance.

I live in an ensuite room with a shared kitchen of 6 people. I pay 148 GBP (2023-2024) per week. It's a private accommodation known as Lumis Student Living which has all the amenities included in the rent like a Cinema room, games, gym, study room, meeting hall etc.

Top 10 Ranking in the UK and especially it's a Russel Group University. I chose Cardiff University for its strong academic reputation, diverse course offerings, and high global rankings. Its prime location in a vibrant city, along with excellent career opportunities and a supportive campus environment, made it an ideal choice. My overall experience has been enriching, both academically and socially.

I stayed in private accommodation and my rent was 800 pound per month with all the bills and it included gym and some entertainment zones like karaoke room and part halls etc

I chose it in Feb or March of 2023 because it offers me a good course and second it’s a Russel group university. My experience was good at the uni and the professors were really good.

It was average and could be better, the location was beautiful but the services could have been better, I would recommend going for private accommodation.

I chose this university as it is one of the top university in the UK. I had offers from 5-6 universities but Cardiff University Business School seemed the best option as it is one the best business schools in the UK.
