The time has honestly flown by and for now, this is most definitely home.<\/p>\n<p>Although my Fresher\u2019s week feels like a lifetime ago, and a very distant, yet unforgettable blur, I can vividly remember the day that I arrived in Cardiff. My mum and my two brothers drove me down, not knowing anyone or where anything was. My mum was franticly panicking because of the busy city traffic. I sat crammed between suitcases and an ironing board, contemplating whether this uni thing was a good idea?!<\/p>\n<h3>Arriving at Shand House<\/h3>\n<p>However, as soon as I stepped into Shand House, Alex (the assistant hall manager), was there to ease my nerves and made me feel so welcome. On arrival you\u2019re given a tour of the building; showing you the washing rooms, the funky garden, the massive common room and then up to your room you go.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-5901 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/host-students.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/shand-house-bedroom-276x300.jpg\" alt=\"shand house bedroom\" width=\"275\" height=\"299\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s funny looking back and thinking of the little things I worried about before the big move\u2026What if I can\u2019t find Shand House? What if there aren\u2019t enough plugs? \u00a0How do I know which bus to catch? Where is Queen Street? These are all very distant worries. However, it\u2019s only natural to think of these things before moving away from home for the first time. And as if the moving wasn\u2019t enough of a worry, I had my course to think about too! Luckily for me, I was almost positive that I would love it&#8230;<\/p>\n<h3>About my course<\/h3>\n<p>I should probably tell you what I do here. Well, I\u2019m on a BA performing course that\u2019s run by the University of Wales Trinity St David. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-5903 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/host-students.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/shand-house-student-bedroom-283x300.jpg\" alt=\"shand house student bedroom\" width=\"275\" height=\"292\" \/>It\u2019s quite different to your typical uni courses, that generally consist of a modest 6-hour week. We\u2019re in at 9:30am and finish at 5:30pm, Monday through to Friday.<\/p>\n<p>With such a full-on course, it makes me appreciate having such a nice place to come home to every day, and not having to worry about things such as blocked showers or a dodgy bed! Living in accommodation that\u2019s so close to the university and city centre has been a life saver too. Especially when I hit the snooze button a few too many times, or when I forget that I am the one responsible for making my own dinner now, and I have nothing but yesterday\u2019s pasta in the fridge. Welcome to the life of a student!<\/p>\n<h3>What&#8217;s Cardiff like?<\/h3>\n<p>Being the theatre fanatic that I am, one of the things that appealed to me about Cardiff was its vibrant Arts culture that\u2019s imbedded so deeply in the city. With theatres such as the Sherman, New Theatre, Wales Millennium Centre and Chapter continuously showing and producing professional shows and plays. I\u2019m also a sucker for a good old shop\u2026though a student loan and Zara being only 10 seconds away is a lethal combination. The biggest lesson I\u2019ve learnt during these six months is definitely self-control!<\/p>\n<p>There are so many things to do in Cardiff on my weekends off, I haven\u2019t covered half of them yet. The St David\u2019s shopping centre is brilliant for when my mum and dad or friends come to visit for the weekend, and we fancy some food whilst shopping.<\/p>\n<p>Now I\u2019ve been here several months, I\u2019m also getting to know some of the locals\u2019 favourite places for food and drinks. I personally loooove the Potted Pig for its lovely food, but most of all for its ginormous selection of gins! There are also some really cool little cafes near City Road that most newbies of the city wouldn\u2019t know about. Stag Coffee on Crwys Road does the most amazing breakfast, PERFECT for that hangover! With my sister living in Cardiff and being a Vegan, we love going to Ana-loka on Albany Road or Blanche Bakery 16 Mackintosh Place, which do the best donuts EVER! And you can\u2019t forget Cardiff Bay which has some really nice restaurants too. It\u2019s a short walk from Shand House, or you can catch the train from Queen Street Station which couldn\u2019t be more convenient.<\/p>\n<h3>Nightlife in the city&#8230;<\/h3>\n<p>However, I\u2019ve left the best bit of Cardiff until last\u2026yes, you\u2019ve guessed it, the nightlife! Having lived 30 minutes away from Chester at home, I wasn\u2019t shocked with the thought of clubs and late-night taxis. Though, I was slightly apprehensive about losing someone and not knowing the way home; seeing as though I\u2019d never been on a night out in Cardiff before! But to my delight, getting back to Shand House from town is just a matter of walking in a straight line down the main high street, and before you know it, you\u2019re home! It\u2019s also really reassuring having a security code to enter Shand House. As well as a security guard in reception all night, and knowing no-one is able to come in.<\/p>\n<p>During my first week in Cardiff, we went from pub to pub and usually ended up in Pryzm nightclub. We had some fancy-dress nights and other nights we would have to follow a second-year student. Now though, I\u2019ve got to know the places I prefer to go depending on what kind of a night we\u2019re after. Turtle Bay is my favourite place to go, I love going for food and cocktails with the girls there. With cool decor and aesthetically pleasing cocktails, it\u2019s the perfect place for that Instagram pic. We often head to Buffalo Bar, it\u2019s only a five minute walk from Shand House and has the best drinks.<\/p>\n<h3>&#8230;and at Shand<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1441 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/host-students.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/shand-common-room-2-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"275\" height=\"206\" \/>But before a night out, me and my friends always meet up in the common room at Shand House and start prinking (pre-drinking) there. It\u2019s such a good place to play drinking games and listen to music without disturbing anyone. It was definitely the place everyone got to know each other, and where friendships were made. I can honestly say that I\u2019ve made some of my bestest friends by coming to uni. I\u2019m not sure where I\u2019d be without them.<\/p>\n<h3>Final words<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-5914 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/host-students.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Cardiff-millenium-centre--300x200.png\" alt=\"Cardiff-millenium-centre-\" width=\"275\" height=\"183\" \/>My overall experience of Cardiff so far has been the best, and I can only predict that my knowledge and love for this city will grow even more the longer I live here. It\u2019s such an exciting city, full of different cultures, things to do, places to visit and experiences to be had. I have been pleasantly surprised with the warmness of the people here. They&#8217;ve made the move from home such an easy transition.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>If you would like to know more about living at <a href=\"https:\/\/host-students.com\/locations\/cardiff\/shand-house\/\">Shand House<\/a> in Cardiff, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/host-students.com\/contact\/#cardiff\">contact<\/a> the team directly and they\u2019ll be happy to help.
