Settling In (New Students)

Beginning your life in Cardiff

The first few days and weeks in a new city with new people and perhaps a return to study after years of working are potentially unsettling. These pages provide something of a step-by-step guide to settling down at Cardiff University. Whether you are here for 10 months or 5 years, we hope these pointers will make you feel at home.

Following the links to the left of the screen you will find information on transport to and around Cardiff, what you should do to enrol once you get here, and finally, sections covering issues from health and advice to money and shopping.
