Advantages: Bar, gym, tennis courts, buses to and from uni.

Disadvantages: Distance from town (cost of taxi back!) and shops.

University Hall, what can I say? Situated in the cyncoed area of Cardiff (very very posh!) its is around 2 miles away from the University, which takes about 35 mins to walk to, however there are buses running every hour to and from the union and other University buildings which i wouldn't be without especially with the lovely welsh weather!

The buildings themselves...ok Nevern and Tower could do with some updating but as for the rest of them they are just as good as talybont. The plus side of Nevern, where I am based is that the flats are usually filled with clearing/insurance place students so you are all in the same boat! And ok the walls are made from breeze blocks but it keeps the noise out!

The grounds are lovely, the bar is great and I wouldnt swap it for the world despite the distance from the shops (about a 20min walk) and the university. There is a lovely community feel with mostly mixed flats and a wonderful team of cleaners who even do a sneaky bit of washing up!

So if you find you find University Hall on the top of your residences list, dont despair! Take a deep breath and get ready for the best time of your life!

Summary: Just enjoy it, you only get to do it once!
