September always sees the start of the new academic year and the arrival in Cardiff of thousands of new students starting out on their university experience in Cardiff Central at Cardiff University, Cardiff Met, University of South Wales and the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama.

I went along to Cardiff University’s Freshers Fair to welcome many of the new students. Cardiff really is one of the best places in the country to be a student and I wish all the new arrivals a great time in our wonderful city.
