My experience at Cardiff University has been absolute amazing. I have honestly had the time of my life, meeting people I will be friends with for the rest of my life, as well as being taught all about a subject I really enjoy. I’ve been a part of societies, student media, open days, varsity and so much more. Cardiff has provided with experiences and life lessons I will carry on with me for the rest of my life. I am wholly grateful I now have the opportunity to stay on and do postgraduate study next year!
