Pontypridd

Pontypridd/Rhydyfelin Guide

 

There is a myth that houses in Pontypridd and Rhydyfelin are too far away. Some houses, especially those towards the city centre or North of the A470.

The properties in this area can be up to a 20-25 minute walk but are in close vicinity to transport links and the perfect for those who own a bicycle, the distance away from the University can also have an effect on the prices. This may be something to consider if students are working on a tight budget.

Glyntaff Guide

 

A popular location for students based at the Glyntaff campus. Houses tend to be for groups of 3-5 students with larger groups being in the Treforest area. The houses are often larger and more residential in Glyntaff with the benefit of being only a few minutes walk from the Glyntaff Campus.

If students are living with people close to the main Treforest campus, there is a free bus every 15 minutes from the Student Union building over to Glyntaff.
