As the capital city of Wales, Cardiff is bound to offer an abundance of opportunities for students who choose to call the city home. Both Cardiff University and Cardiff Metropolitan University are prestigious institutions with a heavy student population, meaning the capital's friendly community benefits from a large dose of vibrant student spirit. To top it all off, Cardiff is considered one of the friendliest and most affordable places to live as a student - which is a huge bonus.

Student accommodation in Cardiff can be found right across the city. Just north of the city centre, Cathays is always an excellent spot to start your search for a property.
