Liberty house, also known as Clodien house is perfect for medical students as it is so close to the Heath campus. It also is reallyclose to Heath park which is a lovely green open space with a beautiful lake and a rose garden. To learn more about what it was like to live in these halls I interviewed Zandrea and Abbie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Abbie <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What was your favourite thing about your halls and why?<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n My favourite thing was how close I was to heath campus – I\u2019m a medic so it\u2019s perfectly located!<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n What was something you wish you had been told before you moved in?<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n I wish someone had told me that <\/strong>taly<\/strong> is more social to live in.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you could pick accommodation again, where would you pick (not to be with friends, but singularly about the accommodation)?<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n If I picked accommodation <\/strong>again,<\/strong> I would go for Clodien house again as <\/strong>i<\/strong> had very minor problems when I was there.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Which shop did you mainly use? <\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n I mainly used <\/strong>tesco<\/strong> delivery for my groceries but occasionally went to Sainsbury\u2019s on Whitchurch.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n How did you socialise within the accommodation? <\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n I used the group chats to make <\/strong>friends,<\/strong> but my flatmates were also nice.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n What were three key points about the halls? <\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n I would say Clodien house is well located, quiet and had nice rooms. <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Could you describe the experience and overall vibe of these halls?<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n I had a few problems which took a while to <\/strong>sort,<\/strong> but they were minor and otherwise it was perfect! My room was <\/strong>lovely,<\/strong> and the kitchen was alright, the vibe is quiet and quite chill to be honest!<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Zandrea <\/p>\n\n\n\n What was your <\/em>favourite<\/em> thing about your <\/em>Liberty <\/em>halls and why?<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n My favourite thing about liberty house is that it was close to <\/strong>C<\/strong>yncoed campus but was also fairly close into <\/strong>Cathays<\/strong>.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n What was something you wish you had been told before you moved in?<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n I wish I knew that if you didn\u2019t have a <\/strong>car,<\/strong> they should recommend you getting a bus pass from getting to and from <\/strong>cyncoed<\/strong> campus<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you could pick accommodation again, where would you pick (not to be with friends, but singularly about the accommodation)?<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n I would stay at that accommodation again as it has good transport links and was fairly close into <\/strong>Cathays<\/strong> and <\/strong>C<\/strong>yncoed campus.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Which shop did you mainly use? <\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n I mainly used <\/strong>Lidl<\/strong> which was a <\/strong>20-minute<\/strong> walk from my halls. <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n How did you socialise within the accommodation? <\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n We used <\/strong>pres<\/strong> to get to know <\/strong>each other<\/strong>.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n What were three key points about the halls? <\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. Close to <\/strong>Cathays<\/strong> <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. <\/strong>30-minute<\/strong> walk or <\/strong>5-minute<\/strong> bus ride to <\/strong>C<\/strong>yncoed campus <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Has a GP surgery opposite the halls of residence which is also helpful<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Could you describe the experience and overall vibe of these halls?<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n The overall vibe of the halls was friendly and just generally like a party!<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n With an en-suite bathroom and a great location liberty house is a great choice. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liberty house, also known as Clodien house is perfect for medical students as it is so close to the Heath campus.
