Hi there, I'm Luna.
I'm a bit like an AI, except instead of making pictures of people with 16 fingers, I can help you find the perfect course and uni.
Would you like some help in your search?
Amazing course with knowledgable and interesting lecturers. The campus isn’t in a main city, so not much to do near by and the SU usually isn’t that busy. Cardiff is a 20 min drive away though so not completely estranged. Halls are really nice, with big rooms and a community feel! Pints cheap in the SU as well :)

Lots of lovely teachers and study spaces.
The university is extremely supportive with an excellent well-being and disability service. It promotes inclusion and delivers a range of courses both online and on campus. The staff are helpful and approachable and the library offers outstanding resources. The location is good and the buildings utilise modern facilities however parking is an issue with spaces limited
The winning factor about my university is its picturesque location. With hills and trees as far as your eyes can see, it is a very calming environment to study. It is great for a student's mental health. It has been very helpful for my mental health personally. Moreover, my course was very attractive as a student for me with its industry grade hangars and metal workshops. However, if my university engages the students more and get their opinions about things, it'll aid them in improving the university. I find that my university's revenue department is lacking in many ways including being empathetic. No matter what situation it is, it is important to be kind and empathetic to another person, as you don't know what they are struggling through. Hence, I feel like my university is very business like and has no real empathy for its students.
Every member of staff is so supportive and the facilities are really good, there’s two libraries and an advice zone within one of them. You get hands on experience with regular practicals where you use the equipment straight away and get fully suited up for CSI practicals and go into a separate house only for CSI purposes. Travel is also really nice as there’s a minibus that takes you from the glytaff campus for free from the accommodation. The treforest campus is just right now to the accommodation so you just have to go down some steps and you’re on campus. Even though it doesn’t apply to me as I’m quiet and don’t like drinking, the only thing I’ve talked to some people that is lacking is nightlife. There is two bars and clubs within the student union and events on all the time but in the town itself there isn’t a lot to do in that regard. There is however, events on every week in the hub which you can go to and meet new people, one of which is therapy dogs that occurs in the first week but comes back every now and then where you get to be around dogs and hang out with friends or go on your own.
Over all mid More interactive classes instead of a 3 to 4 hour lecture
A lot of contact hours , work isn’t overwhelming and interesting course. However the accommodation services are rather poor.
