" The particular course was not initially set up in the best way for delivery, though the lecturers have been sending resources to improve the experience. That being said they decided to make the course block-taught, meaning you only have one assessment over 4 weeks. This method is extremely bad for students who have tight deadlines and little time to ask for help or feedback. Furthermore the system is designed with strict deadlines and little room for extensions. "

" Overall a good place to study, with plenty of help for undergrads and graduates, however, can be difficult to access as only a limited number of buses go to the university, which are often crowded during peak times. Food choices vary daily. Academic staff are sometimes too focussed on getting high grades, rather than teaching and making sure you understand the learning materials. "

" Great support for students and plenty of pathways for achievement and experience. The support given by academic staff has been great. The support for learning has been okay. The social scene surrounding the Llandaff campus is great as it's not too far from Cardiff city centre. "

" Have enjoyed my time here at university, had a good social life and enjoyed the classes. The amenities and facilities were good and the staff always very helpful. Definitely recommend Cardiff Metropolitan University to anyone looking at going, it has two lovely campuses and situated in a lovely city. "

" university is small and felt more like a college then university. Food is over priced and there are not much options apart from £5 crappy sandwiches. The lecturers are ok but over all I wish I didn’t attend. "
