The place is real nice and the campus is incredible. There’s just enough for you to live comfortably no matter the price point and utilities such as shopping or banks or close by. Its not perfect, no campus uni is, but i definitely enjoy it a lot.

People are a lot better quality than in my home country, it’s so much easier to make friends and socialize and they are overall raised a lot better, the campus is beautiful with a lot of facilities, my course is going well so far, I’m on very good terms with my accommodation as well, I got my first choice. However I think community safety could be nicer.

Academic aspects overall i’m really satisfied with - a well organised and enriching course with film equipment and extra events (job opportunities, talks etc) the campus itself is really nice its just not within walking distance of any towns and the towns don’t have the best night life

It’s a very comfortable campus and makes things easy to navigate as it’s all in one place. There’s many places to study outside of just the library and places to eat and drink. There is a place for night life that is safe. Every member of staff i’ve encountered have been amazing.

The department I’m in is incredibly diverse, with world-leading research. The people who make up Film and TV are also incredibly supportive, constantly encouraging you to go further and push yourself, but are also massively understanding that life can get in the way sometimes. I’ve stayed at Warwick in the Film and TV department from undergrad all the way to PhD and I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. The student union are somewhat useless, they don’t really do much other than have elections. Their impact on my time at Warwick (5 years) has been very minimal and mostly unnoticeable.

The accommodation I live in is quite nice, and so are the sports and entertainment facilities on campus. There are some markets happening on the main square, and there are a bunch of cafes and bars for any taste. The course I am taking is quite interesting but quite intense, however, it is very worth it. The only thing I don’t like is the lack of communication in terms of how to register for a course, where to pay your rent, etc, but it is not critical

The best is the general feel of the general feel of the campus - the facilities are fantastic and modern and the uni is in a lovely area with lots of greenery. The SU always have things on, and there is 100s of societies to join. The fees are a little high but not ridiculous and necessary to provide a good service. Only real criticism is the nightlife, personally I’m not much for the on campus club/bar and the nearest ones are a bus away, which can get tedious if you are prioritising nightlife. Student support is great, all lecturers have hours to chat if you are struggling with the course and there are plenty of places to go if you are struggling with things outside of uni.

It’s a stunning campus and the night life is much better than most people think. Student support is a bit hit and miss, I found it really helpful but I’ve got friends who they didn’t help at all.
