i like your halloween decoration very much because my birthday is at halloween

[@emilyhurst267]

hey! I'm about to move in next week to taly south and was wondering what you used to stick pictures up on the walls? xx

[@Riddellie]

Emily Hurst hiya, I used white tack for the walls, and then pins for the noticeboard :) Xx

[@nagspope]

hi! im going in September and was wondering how you put up the polaroids and the witches? i thought you have to pay for the damage to the walls? Xxx

[@Riddellie]

Heaven Trya hey! I just used white-tack. You aren’t supposed to, but everyone did. I was super careful that it didn’t ruin the walls & put a lot of it on the wooden doors etc (that doesn’t stain), so it just depends on how you feel! No one I knew had any issues with it! Xx

[@nagspope]

@@Riddellie thanks so much!

[@josiethomas232]

Hello! I'm coming to Cardiff Uni in September and I'm an international student. What size are the beds and where is the best place to buy bedding and other dorm essentials? Thank you!

[@Riddellie]

Hello! The beds are standard single size ✨ Wilko in the city centre is a great shop for all sorts, sells lots of home things (e.g. pillows, bedding, kitchenware etc). The big Tesco’s (a superstore near Talybont) sells pretty much anything you could need, including food. I hope that helps, but if you need any more help feel free to message me on Instagram @Riddellie xx

[@benwestlake3425]

I was there in '95 as in probably before you were born (1995)! Nothing has changed but I suspect nothing needs to. Asssuming you have Wifi etc now at least youre at least better connected but the music will be worse. Back then I was the king of the flat having a telly!

[@benwestlake3425]

Actually there were no tiles in the bathroom in 1995, it was all concrete

[@mclovin5875]

Are there silverfish in all the Talybont South houses? I've been allocated house 3 and was just wondering

[@Riddellie]

Hi, my house had a few but they were honestly no bother! I probably saw 5 in my whole year & they aren’t harmful :)

[@jmw.17_65]

2:19 baileys 😍

[@smiffie98]

Heard Taly South has a bad silverfish infestation, is that true? Have a room at Liberty Fields at the moment but thinking of changing to Taly South

[@Riddellie]

Hiya, since being here I’ve seen around 3. I was really nervous before I came, because I imagined them crawling everywhere. But they are tiny and on their own, so it’s not bad at all. 😃

[@smiffie98]

ahh okay, I'll probably check it out on Open Day then :)

[@katiesmith6483]

Hey, I am moving in to talybont south this year and I really want to decorate my walls with photos and was wondering how you stuck the pictures on the wall without leaving a mark that would annoy the uni ? :)

[@Riddellie]

Hey! I took a risk and used white tack. I mostly stuck to the wooden door and other stuff that wouldn't stain, so I recommend doing that! You also get a noticeboard, so bring some pins for photos, etc, as they sold out everywhere the week I moved in!

[@katiesmith6483]

@@Riddellie thanks so much x

[@jasminepatel9539]

hey I am moving into taly south in a few weeks, was just wondering what the kitchen was like and if there is a dishwasher? x

[@Riddellie]

Hey! The kitchen was good, it should be shown somewhere in my first year Vlogmas (if you wanted to see what it looked like, maybe the Christmas dinner video?) There wasn’t a dishwasher :)

[@user-xm4gl3ex5b]

Hi! Im starting uni next month and im staying at talybont south, what is the accommodation like and are there a lock on the door into your room?

[@Riddellie]

J Hi! Congratulations ☺️ the accommodation is good & has everything you need, including en-suite bathrooms.The whole building works on electronic key cards. So you can lock your door 😁

[@yara7405]

hey, im going to Cardiff this year as well! I just accepted my offer, do you know any group chats etc im kinda nervous lmao

[@user-xm4gl3ex5b]

Riddellie thank you so much!

[@user-xm4gl3ex5b]

Riddellie hi sorry just wondering, are there mirrors in the rooms at talybont south?

[@katiesmith6483]

Hey, I was also wondering if you know what the gap under the bed is ? :)

[@Riddellie]

Hi! I can’t remember exactly as it’s been a few years, but I had space to store a medium size suitcase under there and a small plastic box :)

[@rebeccadd7144]

Hi, is there any room under the bed to store things?

[@Riddellie]

Hi! Yes, under my bed it was just an open space so you can put things underneath :)

[@MissReevsy]

@@Riddellie how big were the storage bins you used? xx

[@conniebennett3281]

Is tally south the best one??

[@Riddellie]

Connie Bennett hi! I personally think it was the best one for me. It’s super sociable and in a good place for students!

[@pippab1172]

Hey, what halls are you in?

[@Riddellie]

Hiya, I'm in Talybont South :)

[@pippab1172]

Riddellie ah okay! I’m apply for next year, would you recommend it??

[@Riddellie]

Pippa Bonney Definitely! Taly South is really sociable and in a good location! The uni is fab! I’m having a great time :)

[@eloisejean123]

hey I’m starting in September but terrified of the silverfish situation has anyone else said it’s really bad? Want to be in social halls with an ensuite and not too far away from the uni but the silverfish is really putting me off because I hate bugs 😩 read so many reviews saying it’s a really big issue! x

[@Riddellie]

Eloise Crossman Hi 👋🏼 don’t worry, I felt the exact same and it initially really put me off. But since coming here, I’ve barely seen any and my friends are the same ❤️

[@MihoubiAssala]

Eloise Crossman what is a silverfish anyways?? I am starting my PhD in October and confused which one to choose? Any recommendations for postgrad??

[@Riddellie]

Assala Mihoubi Silverfish are small insects that are attracted to damp areas, they are harmless :) with regards to postgrad, I don’t know a lot about that as I’m only first year ✨

[@EleanorDaniels]
