Cardiff is a great place to be a student. Besides
our own college, a Further Education College,
there are two large universities and the Welsh
College of Music and Drama. Although Cardiff
is a very cosmopolitan city, it does not have
an over-concentration of foreign students and
you will find it easy to practice the language
here.
Cardiff Castle
Cardiff
is Europe's youngest Capital City, achieving
its status in 1955, and although it has grown
into one of the most vibrant Cities it has not
lost its small town quality.
Whatever your interests, Cardiff will have
something for you. The City has excellent shopping
and is home to the Millennium Stadium which
hosts major world sporting events. The centre
of Cardiff is surprisingly compact and most
of its sights and attractions are only a short
walk from one another. The Museum, Civic Buildings
and Castle can all be seen from the main shopping
areas which have modern shopping centres together
with beautiful Victorian Arcades.
Millennium Stadium
The
city is surrounded by beautiful countryside
and nature lovers will appreciate the nearby
mountains of the Brecon Beacons National Park
and the spectacular coastline of the Gower Peninsula,
which are only a short drive away.
The city is also a thriving centre for business
and commerce and the focus of exciting developments
such as the Cardiff Bay project.
