There are many students who commute with us here at Cardiff Met. Whilst one way of making friends on your course can be by living in halls with them, there are other ways too. Consider joining a society to find peers with a common interest. There are over 50 to choose from. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, the SU can help you form your very own society. Spending time between lectures with fellow students is a great way of making connections. There are plenty of informal learning spaces around the University, including café spaces, library spaces and seating. This is all here to make you feel as comfortable as possible when you are on campus.
When you are a Cardiff Met Student, you can contact the i-zone for assistance with getting your council tax exemption forms or log into MetCentral and find the link within.
