The Students’ Union on Park Place is undoubtedly central to the Cardiff student experience. Positioned right in the middle of most University buildings, the Union provides the perfect place to drop in for all your day to day needs. Whether you need to pick up a paper from the shop, want to meet a friend for lunch, or are desperate for a well deserved drink after that stressful lecture, then the Union is the place to go. Where else can you buy your tickets for gigs and club nights, arrange some casual work to fund it and then chat about it over a coffee all in the same place? The Union also works to give you vital advice and opportunities. Housing advice, health information, I.T. courses, a multitude of sporting activities and volunteering opportunities are just some of the many ways that the Union expands the experience of every Cardiff student. On top of all that, the mall provides a wide range of shops and services allowing you to pick up CDs, laptops, books and even a new house for when you leave halls, all at student friendly prices!
