I have no idea about the "College Yell" mentioned at the bottom; I studied at Cardiff for four years and never heard this. It sounds made up; "Bantahie! Bantahie!" doesn't sound Welsh, and the only Google hits for it are mirrors of this article. I think it's spurious.

It was from the Cardiff University graduation booklet for 2002. -- Robminchin 05:25, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alumni

What allowance has been made for Wales graduates in the new charter? The alumni listed on this page are all University of Wales graduates, of course, not Cardiff graduates - will they be allowed the same benefits? Are they even technically Cardiff graduates? Anyone?

[edit] University ratings

(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.

[edit] Error in student population figures

I quote "The student population is diverse with 17% of students from overseas and 85% of students from state schools."

How can the total population be more than 100%? (in this case, 102%?) Lowjoel 05:19, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
