Student Apartments
Cardiff has become a favourite student destination with its revitalized waterfront and historic castle. Students from all around the world make it their home during term time to take advantage of a thriving culture and university scene.
The city is filled with great things to do and see, from its quirky comic shops and art centre to weekly farmers markets and awe inspiring National Museum. The best thing about this capital city is that it’s easy to explore by bike or walking, so you can get to know it all in no time.
While there are many Cardiff student accommodation options in Cardiff, most choose to live either on campus or in private rented houses and flats in the city centre. Living in the central areas like Cathays, Roath, Maindy and Heath means you are able to walk to the university and enjoy being close to the heart of this buzzing city. Choosing to live further out may mean you have a longer commute but you will benefit from lower rent and more space in your student house.
When looking for Cardiff student accommodation, it is important to ensure that the landlord or letting agent is registered and has been verified by a trusted agency. This will help to protect you from being scammed and give you peace of mind that the property you are renting is genuine. If you have any concerns or questions, it is a good idea to contact your university and the letting agency directly for further information.
Student Apartments in the heart of the city
There are a huge range of different apartments available to students, from affordable shared accommodation to luxury studio apartments. Many of these have everything you could need for your stay in the city including high-speed internet, utilities included and free contents insurance. A few of the more popular student apartments in the city include Northgate House Apartments, situated right next to the iconic Cardiff Castle and within a stone’s throw from Cardiff University, so you can roll out of bed and into that 9am lecture on time, every time.
Creating a positive study environment within your accommodation is crucial for academic success. Establish a designated study area that is free from distractions and conducive to concentration. Keep your study space organized and clutter-free. Utilize noise-canceling headphones or background music to enhance focus. Set clear study goals and establish a study routine that aligns with your peak productivity hours. Communicate with your roommates to establish quiet hours that accommodate everyone’s study needs. By creating a positive study environment, you can optimize your learning and academic performance.
If you prefer a more social environment, try The Neighbourhood Cardiff which is perfect for students who want to feel part of the community. They have a strong focus on creating a tight-knit community and offer both shared and private rooms as well as amazing on site facilities such as a gym, cinema room, dining and karaoke rooms. They are also only 0.6 miles away from the city centre and a short walk to Cardiff Metropolitan University and the University of South Wales, so you are never too far from your studies.
If you are more into your downtime, there are lots of parks in the area and the River Taff runs right through the middle of town, so getting out and exploring is a breeze. Or you could always just relax at one of the many coffee shops or vintage stores that the city has to offer.
