Your guide to first year
Open a section to read more. This guide grows as students add their advice.
[TODO: verified intro for first year — what the year looks like at Cardiff, the rough shape of teaching, and how the transition into medicine feels. Keep it warm and practical.]
[TODO: a second paragraph if useful — e.g. finding community early, joining CMM, who to reach out to.]
[TODO: verified, Cardiff-specific guidance on how to approach first-year study — what to prioritise, common pitfalls, resources students actually found useful.]
[TODO: practical faith-on-campus notes for first years — prayer on campus (link to Where to Pray), fasting around timetables, finding the community.]
[TODO: wellbeing guidance for the first year — balance, support services, and where to turn if things get hard.]
