Over the last few weeks, thousands of students have arrived in Cardiff to start at university. It's a big step, moving from home and starting in a new city, so here is our guide on settling in to help you get used to Cardiff.

  • Join a club or society - There are so many different clubs and societies for you to join so why not give something a try? It's a great way to meet new people so whether it's Harry Potter Society, the university hockey club or the Live Music Society, why not give something a try?
  • Discover Cardiff - Explore the new city you have just moved to. There is so much for you to find. Cardiff City Centre and Cardiff Bay are good places to start. Plenty of shops, plenty of places to eat and go out, plenty of culture and history to explore so go and enjoy. The longer you're a student you will discover your favourite places so explore and see what you can find. The Crwys Road and Albany Road area is student central so there are great places to visit around here.
  • Know there is support for you - Both your university and your student union should offer plenty of ways to support you, whether it be academically or personally. Find out what support is available to you and if needed, use it because that's what it's there for. This could be to do with finances, health and wellbeing, studying and much more. It's good to know that help is there should you need it.
  • Make the most of it - Lots of people have said that being a student was the best time of their lives, so make the most of it, enjoy it, and maybe do some studying too.

 

Moving to new city can be hard, but hopefully these few tips will be of help to you. If you're looking for things to do, our events page should be helpful.
