Talk:University of Glamorgan

message: Glamorgan may have written this suspiciously glowing reference themselves - certainly the bit about mergers is straight from their press office (and is not cited in any way). Have tagged accordingly.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.155.3.127 (talk) 18:32, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

message: Okay, are house rents in the area relatively expensive or relatively cheap? Special:Contributions/82.11.175.120 seems to think that they are relatively expensive, but Special:Contributions/82.11.166.252 seems to think that they are cheap, having changed 82.11.175.120's contribution. Some citations to clear this up, perhaps? Cheers, Stannered 00:09, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Rents will 'probably'be cheaper because not only is this university located in Wales but it's in the coal mining valleys where most of the housing is terrace housing. I've driven past this university and there is even terrace housing that only has one floor?! :-/ I thought that very odd indeed. Supposed 11:57, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

message: (I'm posting this to all articles on UK universities as so far discussion hasn't really taken off on Wikipedia:WikiProject Universities.)
There needs to be a broader convention about which university rankings to include in articles. Currently it seems most pages are listing primarily those that show the institution at its best (or worst in a few cases). See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Universities#University ratings.

message: "The University of Glamorgan is one of the most cutting edge higher educational institutions in the United Kingdom. Several of its courses are among the highest ranked in their field, and the equipment of some departments (most notably the Nursing School) is second to none in the UK."
I'm sure the University is great but the above seems pretty POV really. I mean this isn't a preimier university, it's good but it's not at the cutting edge at all. Surely the best nursing schools are located in Universities that have schools of medicine, I don't think Glamorgan has one.
This University is 74th in this years Times good university guide, that's almost in the lowest quarter of Universities listed there.
It's nice to see the School of Nursing is joint 16th, well played Glamorgan.

Cardiff's been independent for a while now, hasn't it? The Wednesday Island 21:01, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
