Lots of places to study
The campus style gives the uni a really strong sense of community and means that we are well situated for city life and access to the natural world.
Very high in the league tables, has good food and drink options on campus that are easily accessible. Could be improved by not just temporarily fixing things for open days eg. the revolving doors of the Oculus, but fixing them for the whole year!
I love our university, and I feel proud whenever I walk around campus. There is a lot of greenery which I love, and in general people are really nice. Many opportunities to join different societies to learn lots of different things, and many weekly events. They even have their own on-campus fruit market and Wednesdat food market that I especially love
The campus is a great place to spend your time with amazing facilities such as the library and the gym.
Loads of opportunities and activities going on, departments and societies are lively, busy and organised. Campus is fairly quiet and leafy which I like, and everything you need is within twenty minutes walk, but I’m aware it’s a bit harder to get into a town or city centre for major shopping or a night out. Most lectures have been good so far and the tutorials and supervisions in smaller groups are really helpful.
I genuinely love studying at my university, the campus is beautiful and there are so many resources and facilities. There is always so much to do and I also love how much freedom I get with setting up my own schedule and doing things that are interesting to me. Most importantly I love how much support I get from my department staff and university staff
The worst aspect was the long list of admin you had to do coming up which was, at times, a bit overwhelming and confusing, but I'm pretty sure that's just a generic university experience and, having said that, it was handled pretty well from a university support point of view. As for a best thing, I don't think I could pick just one. The facilities are great, the atmosphere is great, the University provides loads of opportunities whether from the Departments or through the SU, and the campus is beautiful and surrounded by green spaces which is amazing. And, of course, I absolutely really enjoy my course and find it challenging but very interesting. But more than that, all the people I've met, bot students and staff, have been really friendly and easy to talk with which is great for someone who comes from a quieter area and isn't used to quite this many people at once.
The location and student experience are great for people whose lives don't solely revolve around night life; there is plenty to do day and night, sober and not. The on campus experience is also a great aspect to attending Warwick. I do think that the university could put more effort into the quality of the student accommodation on campus; people should not have to go an entire year without working heating only to be compensated £100. Or live with broken windows for the majority of their first term - both of these have happened to people I know.

Very nice campus
The university has many free social activities and sports activities like Rock Up and Play, which allows you to have fun, socialise while improving your health. You’re surrounded by supportive and friends people, and this has encouraged me to go out more and enjoy my time at uni. I haven’t had any bad experiences yet, hopefully it stays that way.
I think the range of study spaces makes it perfect for whatever environment you are after- quiet, chatty etc. I do think having more chairs and tables in buildings like the occulus, the student union and the arts centre could be even better as these spaces do get busy.
Very pretty campus with lots of good study locations, such as the FAB. Life sciences have their own mini campus which I really love.
The campus is too isolated from the surrounding area, so would benefit from a train station or if the surrounding was more built up. Bus services however are excellent and frequent. Everyone I've met is very sociable and teaching is enthusiastic and engaging, thus making studying pleasurable. There is room for improvement in terms of the cost of joining some sports societies or the gym.
The campus has some great facilities, like the library, but I wish it had more food outlets, particuarly closer to the Zeeman building (where maths is based). The uni is right next to Coventry but I haven't been able to visit Coventry due to my busy schedule. I feel very supported at Warwick and the Wellbeing and Disability Team are nice. My lecturers are nice. I love the campus. There are some cool buildings and lots of green spaces. Warwick has some great societies, like Who Soc and the Tabletop Games and Roleplaying Society. These make up the bulk of my social student life. There's also a club on campus if you're into that (I'm not). The Students' Union is fine but has some floors, such as charging a fee to be able to join societies and an even more rediculous fee to join sports clubs.
The best aspects of my uni experience has been the people that I've met.
I think that the student support could definitely be improved. The disability department isn’t helpful and tends to actually make it more difficult than necessary to get the basic support put into place. In this case the uni mentioned that in order for my additional needs to be put into place every lecturer would have to be reminded every time a piece of work was set by the student

The Campus is very well maintained at all times of the year and has consistently developing facilities that allow for a better overall experience in education. Outside of the actual degree, the Students Union is very good at facilitating the large number of societies to provide extracurricular activities.
Fully in person, the contact hours given suit the degree. The use of personal tutors could be expanded however, and the recording of lectures should be manditory so as to assist students who, through unavoidable circumstances, may miss a lecture due to illness etc.
Accomodation is too expensive. It is an issue across the UK, but particularly at Warwick, the lack of affordable accomodation that doesnt squeeze students of every penny is clear. However, the facilities provided for the cost are still good and better than the 'stereotypical' view of the low bar for university accomodation.
