Living with us

Our En Suite rooms come in a range of sizes to suit your budget, but whichever you choose, you’ll enjoy your own private space complete with a double bed and a swanky en suite bathroom. There is also plenty of secure storage. The en suite rooms link onto a communal kitchen/diner area, where you can spend time with your friends or get to know new people in the course of moving in. It’s truly the best of both worlds and the best option for quality student accommodation in Cardiff.

We also have Studio options, ranging in size up to a massive 27m2. These are big enough for two people to live in, so they’re perfect for couples or best friends - dual-occupancy is available as an option. The social spaces at this residence are second to none, with a spacious common room available all day round, plus a TV room with a widescreen television and pool table. Outside, there’s a lovely courtyard, where in the summer months we get together for barbecues and good times. This is much more than your average university halls!
