What’s on?
There’s a packed programme of activities for students moving into halls during Moving In weekend and Welcome Week. Your halls provider will promote these to you, but here’s a selection of free activities happening at Plas Gwyn and Cyncoed that will be run by our Res Life team.
There’s lots more happening at Cyncoed through the Students’ Union – give the SU a follow on Instagram, TikTok and Facebook – @CardiffMetSU, or visit the website to find out more.
