Advantages: Nice town, good social life

Disadvantages: Very poor welfare and support

I would ask everyone to think carefully before going to Cardiff University. Although the social life and entertainment can be good, I experienced the most devastating downside.

When the spectre of racial harassment raised its ugly head I felt sure that the College's procedure's would afford me support and protection. I couldn't have been more wrong. Although procedures do exist, those in charge show little regard for them, and fighting your case can be difficult.

The welfare services are all geared towards "easy" problems which advisors have dealt with before, and anyone asking for help with something controversial is likely to be disappointed.

I was forced work out everything for myself, and even told by the senior Welfare advisor to "not bother pursuing" my case because nobody would care.

This is the reality of being a student with a problem. But if you're white you might just find the place is entirely geared towards you.
