University Hall

University Hall is a bit far away from the main campus (nearly two miles), but it’s not such a long way out if you’re are medical student studying at Heath Park Campus (about a mile away).
Luckily, there’s a FREE university bus service which runs from 8am-5.30pm from Monday to Friday between University Hall and the Main Campus, then outside of those hours you can pay to use private Cardiff Bus services from nearby Ty-​Gwyn Road (catch the number 52!). There are also free uni buses to and from the Heath Park Campus.
Some buildings are newer (and slightly more attractive) than others at this site, and some newer flats have en suite facilities whereas others have shared bathrooms — but all are self catered.
I suppose the good side about living on this campus is that because everyone’s thrown together, a bit away from the heart of the action, there tends to be a very friendly atmosphere. It has its own tennis courts and a licensed University Hall Bar which hosts regular events such as quizzes and pool competitions, and serves up cheap food and discounted Domino’s Pizzas.
