Warwick University

About a year ago now, I was in my second year of college and a big scary decision was looming upon us-it was time to make our UCAS applications and decide where to spend the next three years of our lives. Not something to be taken lightly, I went to all of the fairs, took all of the free stuff offered to me by eager representatives (I have so many pens now it's ridiculous) and devoured the prospectuses as my daily reading. For a while, I had my heart set on Imperial college, London. Then my dad pointed out to me that my entire student loan would probably be blown just getting around that city ... more

My three years at the University Of Warwick were great - there was the obvious pyscho-partner issues, and the tension created by pulling numerous housemates, but on the whole it was a really wonderful time. Well, it's located near Stoneleigh, which is near Coventry, and therefore in the West Midlands. It was built in the 60s, and is therefore a mix of a modern Uni, and a red-brick one. The place is getting bigger each year, with constant building programmes, and millions of pounds of investment, so it certainly isn't resting on its reputation - in the time I was there, a new Union was built, a ... more

I am about to go back to Warwick for my 4th and final year at the place, after spending a year working in Brussels as part of my Politics with French course, and to be honest I can't wait! Obviously this opinion will be influenced by the fact that, knowing my luck, the Vice Chancellor will turn out to be a Ciao member who scours the opinions on Universities for any anti-Warwick material, but fortunately there's not really anything bad to mention. To get onto the courses at Warwick there is always pretty stiff competition, but that does mean that once you get there, everyone shares an interest ... more

After being here in Warwick University for a few years, I would like to share my experiences with others and hopefully will help you make a decision if you are going to university. Warwick University is always one of the Top 10 universities in UK. It is a relatively new university (just celebrated its 40 years anniversary in year 2005) but most courses and lecturers are of high standard. However, there are very limited courses on offer so it is not a university for everyone. I am going to focus on the non-academic side in this review since you are able to get most information about the courses ... more

Ive just graduated from Warwick in July 2003 after completing a degree in Sociology. There is a lot of competition for places at Warwick and it seems as though everyone you meet applied for Oxford or Cambridge and didnt get in. I wasn't one of them people however but I was so pleased to be offered a place there. There are roughly 16,000 students there but it really doesn't seem like it. Warwick also has the reputation for one of the biggest campuses in Europe. I started in October 2000 and this uni starts a bit later than most and every academic year finishes at the end of June. Holidays are ... more
