one of the halls of residents that received a letter this week<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But, Beth says, there\u2019s a fine line between keeping track of students and frightening them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOn Wednesday night, security came into our flat&#8221; she says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We we\u2019re asked why we we\u2019re sitting so close to each other, even though we live together and share the same facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was very scary.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, those students living in private accommodation have not received the letter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is contrary to the experience of students in Swansea University, who received an email yesterday warning rule-breakers of a the potential to be fined &#8211; or even risk the future of their studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beth Williams says it\u2019s unfair that only those living on campus are being monitored so closely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI know that people in second and third year living in private accommodation don\u2019t have the worry of University security turning up and regulating them,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A spokesperson for Cardiff University says those who repeatedly break the rules will be considered by a Student Conduct Panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They say the safety of the students are their top priority as they stop gatherings taking place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cardiff University is clamping down on the number of house parties and gatherings in their halls of
