With about 18,000 residents at the 2011 census, Cathays is the third most populous community in Cardiff, and its station next to the Students' Union is the seventh-most used in Wales. The civic centre's parkland, from Gorsedd Gardens to Bute Park and Blackweir, gives you somewhere green to run between lectures or shifts.
