Our Insiders are current students sharing their experiences of Cardiff University in their own words. If you want to know what it’s really like at Cardiff, this is the place to find out.

How can I follow the Insiders?

Each Insider posts regularly to their blog, to Twitter and to their own Facebook page. Some also post photos to Instagram so you can see what they're up to as well as reading about it.

What can I ask them?

They're here to answer any questions you have about life at Cardiff University. What’s a typical day like? What clubs and societies are there? Is Cardiff’s music scene any good? It can be almost anything - just post a comment on their Facebook page or message them on Twitter.

Who are they?

Our Insiders are real students studying a range of subjects.

Aarifa

1st year Dentistry

I like anything to do with art, and tie dye almost all of my things. I run regularly and play the piano, but am also a bit of a couch potato and watch Smallville constantly. I loved Duke of Edinburgh and really want to go Backpacking and camping again this summer.

Aimee-Louise

1st year Music

I’m studying music and my life pretty much revolves around music. I like pretty much any genre of music other than heavy metal. I enjoy camping and being outdoors, but I hate rain!

Cat

2nd year Sociology

I currently coach beginners for Cardiff University Rowing Club, and also enjoy being an Officer in the University of Wales Air Squadron, in which I embark on all kinds of activities & adventures, from rifle practice to adventure training, trips abroad and regular flying!

Daniel

2nd year Planning & Geography

I enjoy trying new activities and sports with a passion for travelling. To keep busy I am a course rep, student careers rep and residence warden. I look forward to the challenges of the Cardiff Award next year and getting involved in the Kayaking Club and IMG football.

Freya

3rd year Philosophy

I’m a fun loving, easy going student who loves nothing more than spending time with my friends, playing sports, cooking, or travelling the world. I’m always up for a laugh, and will do my best to say ‘yes!’ to every opportunity!

Hannah

2nd year Psychology

My passion is dancing, and has been since I was about 7 years old. Needless to say I was quick to sign up with a dance troupe. I also love singing (in the shower), being a committee member for the Psychology Society and am involved in a few volunteering projects.
