Accommodation is not something that Cardiff University that takes lightly and undergraduate students have a great deal of residences to choose from, whether they are on campus, in the student village or privately rented houses in the rest of the City.

What sets Cardiff University apart from a lot of other establishments is that it offers its students a 100% guaranteed place in accommodation when it is applied for during the correct period. With over 4700 rooms on offer with a range of facilities, Cardiff University students get top treatment. A staggering three quarters of the rooms have en suite bathrooms, and many are within walking distance of communal facilities such as a laundrette, bar and sports centre.

Applying for accommodation at the University of Cardiff is simple for those who accept an offer of study. By simply filling out forms and stating your individual desires and needs, the student is put on a high priority and the University will do all that they can to meet them. The specific University accommodation is split into the three different types: self catered, part catered and fully catered. Prices of accommodation can range from as little as £48 for self-catering per week up to £73 per week for full catering, which includes a breakfast and/or evening meal and within these boundaries the prices can vary depending on what facilities the student chooses.

There are of course many opportunities for students who wish to rent privately outside of the University campus. The main area for such housing is Cathays which is within walking distance of both the University and Cardiff City Centre. A large majority of houses in Cathays are occupied by students, with a huge variety of shops, bars and restaurants aimed towards this age group. For some students with families or partners privately rented accommodation is desirable simply due to the fact that the living space is increased.
While looking for privately rented accommodation may appear stressful, accommodation services at the University are willing and able to assist students in their search.

There are lists of landlords who provide accommodation specifically for students and of course these are the most reliable of their kind. There are also letting agencies that specialise in Student accommodation in Cardiff and the University are able to put you in touch with them. While it’s often recommended that first year undergraduate students seek residence within the University halls, it can be a great opportunity to rent privately, if you already have a close group of friends who wish to live together and are able to finance utility bills and everything else that comes with renting.

This is not where Cardiff University’s accommodation services end. Staff at the University are keen to help students find flatmates to share privately rented housing or flats, whichever year they are in. It goes without saying that Cardiff University is dedicated to finding the perfect accommodation for their students to ensure that they have a great time during their study and can get the most out of their experience.
