UWIC

Splattered over one residential and four academic sites is UWIC – that’s the University of Wales Institute, Cardiff.

Teacher Training, Sports and Design are all big hitters... more on academic The SU runs five bars, including a nightclub/bar in Cardiff’s hot and jumping city centre. The city’s an up-and-coming place, much like UWIC, and has some major venues (the Millennium Stadium) as well as a thriving theatre, kebab and club scene... more on entertainment Amazingly, UWIC is often in the top five of the sports league, coping superhumanly with limited funding but impressively modern facilities... more on sports Halls are a mile or less from the main site and there’s a zippy minibus service to ferry students about. Living out’s cheap compared to other big cities... more on housing
