Sort:Latest reviewsThe university is mostly very well organised and you always find uni staff or SU to help you with anything. The campus life is great and there are many activities outside of the curriculum you can do. Choosing the modules/enrolment was quite difficult and to get into the modules you need for your degree but maybe it was just so difficult because I am an international student and only here for one year via Erasmus. I really hope in the future international students get more help in the future (I am at the SMLC for reference).
Would enjoy seeing a larger variety of events/stalls more often than the weekly rotation of events.
Based on my experience, I have really enjoyed the wide range of academic opportunities that I have been presented with at Warwick. An example would be attending the Advanced Engineering Show in Birmingham. Additionally, there are great facilities such as the Warwick Sports Centre which makes the university experience much more exciting as there are many sports that you can decide to do or learn while studying. I think that living in Leamington and commuting into and from campus has always been a challenge since joining the university mainly due to the large amount of people there are and the lack of direct buses available. Lastly, I would say that the cost of buying on campus is relatively high and not sustainable for a student like myself making my choices very limited when it comes to purchasing anything.
The good things that I love is that the professors care and the university cares about the students. Something that could be improved is to maybe open research opportunities for experience for students for a month or a term to get lab experience. The only opportunities are in the summer, though it would be great if they were also available during the semesters and during the other holidays like the winter or easter holiday.
-great campus -high quality teaching
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
Lovely campus and excellent philosophy department, lots of opportunities and high quality lecturers. Disability support could be improved, location near coventry isn’t the best for nightlife.
Good campus
18-24 years
The best part is that they have lots of events running and many societies that have events. There’s always something to do at the University of Warwick. The worst part is that you have to take a bus to Coventry or Leamington if you want to go out.
The departments is far.
Best part- experiencing personal growth Worst part- burnout
Individual modules are really good, course cohesion between philosophy and psychology needs a lot of work. A lot of university funding gets funnelled into the sciences. More work needs to be done to provide humanity students with a holistic course as well as study spaces and career opportunities. Career opportunities are under represented in the arts and social sciences.
The University is clean and neat, a huge sense of Independence but many facilities and people to speak to if you need help. Many on campus events and societies. But the Humanities building is not very stimulating in comparison to places like the WBS and FAB or Gibbet Hill. It would be great if it was modernised and Psychology had a more practical element such as using brains. It would be great if uni was also more interactive and there was more contact opportunities between students and lecturers.
Best - career opportunities Worst - location, department resources
There is a big SU with a lot of clubs
Great campus with a wide variety of facilities.
Best - community feel on campus, societies and extracurricular events available. Worst - lack of help from the Student Funding team when I was in a financial crisis during the summer holidays.
As a campus university Warwick has a very community centered feeling to it. You quickly become familiar with people, which creates a great starting point for friendship building. The location of Warwick is also one of its strengths; the countryside surroundings allow for long and serene walks. The nearby towns or Warwick, Leamington and others makes for fun and exciting day trips. And lastly its proximity to big cities such as Birmingham and how accessible it is to go into the capital London is greatly appreciated for international travel and more tourist opportunities. The Warwick students union could certainly be most improved in their operational efficiency, their social organisation and general involvement in student life. In terms of clubs and societies the SU need to improve the processes for clubs’ access to funding. And for students the membership fees are quite exorbitant and some sort of subsidy is needed. The social events hosted by the SU that are worthwhile are too few and far between. Some divergence from the usual pop general would be appreciated, the idea for genre themed events is good and even better when inclusive of more genres. The warwick sports hub is a place that could also be much more student centred for a university based gym. Membership again should be more aligned with students’ budgets. To end the deep departmental support and care at Warwick makes it a wonderful place to study. In my experience the myth of uncaring and unavailable university staff has been totally dispelled. I am most grateful to my department staff above all.

I really like the support from personal tutors and the interactions with professors because everyone seems very approachable and friendly. I struggled with the aspects of being an exchange student here because there was not a lot of support concerning modules, arrival and visa application.
I like that courses are in class and interactive. Most lecturers value my opinions and include the class in discussions. One thing I was disappointed by were the facilities since I don't have many courses in my department building but rather in other buildings. Moreover, some lecturers can be hard to contact or get a response from.
