Fifty years since the first class graduated from\u00a0what\u00a0was then\u00a0‘Town\u00a0Planning\u00a0Studies’ at the\u00a0School of Architecture and Environment, the Class of ’66 returned to Cardiff\u00a0 University for their gold\u00a0reunion.<\/h3>\n

The class were joined by both current students and staff from the School of Geography and planning <\/a>and were eager to share stories and relive memories from their time at Cardiff University, including recreating an image taken of their class on graduation day.<\/p>\n

The class were keen to share stories of their time at Cardiff University with their success at rugby, the formation of a band and a near bomb scare involving some cheese and wine all being recalled with fondness.<\/p>\n

Many things have changed in the School since 1966, one clear difference being that the original class had only one female student, a contrast to the current intake.<\/p>\n

Topics studied also varied from today, with ‘The redevelopment of Cardiff Bay’ being set as a class project and examination questions including ‘Roundabouts are used extensively in this country: is this to be applauded?‘<\/em><\/p>\n
