The best ascetics are the opportunities and the events that go on eon campus. There are people with so many interests and talents which is refreshing to see. Also the teaching is of a high standard and lectures are easily reachable. There is always something going on at Warwick whether it be a Ted talk, a big 4 company having a workshop or just society activities. I think it can be improved with the prices of the Rootes grocery store and it could also have more seminars/workshops for life science students.

The course is taught in person and I have about 15 hours of lectures a week and up to 6 hour labs. Some modules are smaller groups whereas the core modules have up to 300 students. I prefer smaller classes as I can ask questions to the lecturer. All lectures are recorded so if I missed any I could easily catch up online.

The campus at Warwick has all the facilities you need: coffee shops, night clubs, a gym, many study areas, and even an on-site supermarket - Rootes. I feel safe on and around campus and enjoy walking down to Gibbet Hill campus, where I have my lectures, as it is a very scenic and calming route. I feel main campus lacks the same atmosphere as Gibbet Hill due to it being so big and also quite industrial looking/run down in parts (for example round the library area). There are lots of societies to join and something is always going on to get involved in! Student support is not great in my opinion. The feedback you get on assignments is very brief and not very specific to your piece of work, which makes it difficult to use it constructively to improve.

There are a decent number of contact hours per week, however the hours per term is very inconsistent. First time had a moderate amount of lectures per week, whereas 2nd term is very busy and 3rd term is very quiet. It would be better to manage workload if this was spread more evenly. Teaching varies a lot depending on the lecturer: some lecturers I find very engaging and interesting to listen to and enjoy going to their lectures, but some tend to just read off PowerPoints which seems a bit pointless. The Neuroscience course at Warwick is very biology heavy whereas it is more psychology focused at some other universities, I would have hoped to do more psychology work in my neuroscience degree alongside the biological aspects but maybe that will happen in 2nd or 3rd year. First year for all life sciences degrees is very biochemistry heavy as well, and some of this seems irrelevant to my degree and future career hopes. The neuroscience lecturers are all friendly and knowledgable. Neuroscience labs are very interesting.
