Every uni has certain particular qualities that only its students can relate to. Here are 17 signs you go to Cardiff University!<\/p>\n
When you first arrive at Cardiff, you might be shocked by the amount of correspondences you initially receive: residency forms, GP registration, contact details\u2026 all that jazz. Only at second glance will you realise that you (probably) can\u2019t understand the second half! There\u2019s nothing like a Welsh translation to fully immerse you in Cardiff culture.<\/p>\n
What better way to get a taste for the vale than to sample some of the county\u2019s finest grub? One sniff of those cheesy leeks and you\u2019ll be away…<\/p>\n
After all those savoury sausages, you\u2019ll be craving something sweet. Why not satisfy the craving while embracing a Welsh culinary emblem?<\/p>\n
The food obsession extends beyond meals with the national vegetable being the centre stage of Welsh wit!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a hot summer day and you\u2019re ready for sun, sea and sand\u2026 until it hits you that you live in Wales\u2019 urban capital. No worries though, in lush weather Cardiff\u2019s gorgeous green spaces challenge any seaside location. With BBQs and stereos, there\u2019s no better way to celebrate the end of exam season.<\/p>\n
And all of your critics are different people called \u201cJones.\u201d<\/p>\n
In fact, if you look closely enough, many of Sonny\u2019s uni scenes in Stella are filmed in uni buildings or the SU! From colloquial phrases to Welsh intonations to the curry sauce debate\u2026 it\u2019s all there!<\/p>\n
The BBC does loads of filming in Cardiff so who knows what you\u2019ll appear in the background of! With camera crews and actors\u2019 trailers, there\u2019s no shortage of broadcasting bliss. Students even encountered Benedict Cumberbatch in Cardiff\u2019s very own SU!<\/p>\n
The stress of lectures and seminars can be tough, especially with the weather having a breakdown of its own! You are advised to carry umbrellas, raincoats and sunglasses with you at all times.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s only a half hour train journey away, but the Island is the source of every Cardiff student\u2019s beach break. A trip to the seaside is a sure-fire sign you go to Cardiff University.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Cardiff\u2019s proximity to the sea has its disadvantages: one being migrating seagulls. You\u2019ve just got in from that crazy night out and your bed is calling, but as soon as your head hits the pillow\u2026 shriek! You\u2019re facing that 10 a.m. lecture before you know it.<\/p>\n
Monday: Tiger Tiger; Tuesday: Revs; Wednesday: YOLO; Thursday: Walkabout; Friday: Pryzm; Saturday: Flux (RIP), ahem\u2026 The Legendary Student Night; Sunday: Soda.<\/p>\n
So everyone reads by phone light. Lighting in lecture theatres is a thing of the past.<\/p>\n
No matter what day of the week, Hoffi Coffi is always heaving with students. With great food and drink, comfy chairs and a friendly environment, it\u2019s easy to see why it\u2019s a student hot spot.<\/p>\n
Cringey photos aside, that little piece of plastic grants you entrance to Y Plas as well as cheaper tickets at the cinema (\u00a33!! Note: purchase cheap snacks beforehand at Lidl), the theatre (only \u00a35 for plays) and the castle (castle key card only one \u00a35 payment then go as much as you want in three years upon showing student ID).<\/p>\n
