Sort:Latest reviewsLocation is great, feel secluded in a little university town while only being a bus ride away from Coventry city centre and Birmingham. Campus is modern and fun while having lots of nature and lovely walks around it. Some may find there isn’t enough to do in the area itself to live the “student life” but that comes to what you’re looking for in a university.
Best is definitely the look and feel of the campus. Everything is nearby, the facilities are in perfect condition, the general atmosphere is great. The worst is probably the location - Coventry is just not that interesting for students, and Leamington Spa is a bit too far.
Campus feels safe and inclusive and has pretty much everything you’d need. No smoking areas are kind of ignored. No separate bins for food waste or soft plastics but I think that’s more of a thing for everywhere more so than just here.

Ample study space on campus and great facilities. Large variety of courses and diversity of students results in meeting many interesting students and friends. Great location away from busy town centre but good access to nearby towns for retail and travel. However, nightlife is limited by being far to larger cities (limited to Leamington spa and Coventry) unless you want to travel to Birmingham.
I really enjoy the content I’m learning about, an I think the selection of modules for my course is really wide. Personally, I love studying at Warwick. I love the campus and the way it feels. There are some really fabulous buildings and study spaces that can be utilised by everyone, and I like how many activities and societies there are that you can get involved in.
Love the course but it needs work
Quality of teaching and facilities are brilliant. The only negative regarding Warwick is that it is in the middle of nowhere, with not much going on. To reach anywhere worth going takes at least half an hour, meaning the campus can feel pretty isolating.
Campus has a lot of green spaces and lots of places to chill out when studying or just hanging out with friends. It's very close to Tesco and Aldi which is great if you live on campus as its only a 10 minute walk to the shops. Great facilities for my course (physics). I think though that the on campus shop and cafes are way too expensive, especially as they're predominantly used by students I'd expect them to have more reasonable prices. Other than that though it's a great place to study with a great atmosphere and I'm glad I decided to come here to do my degree!
Warwick is a very peaceful place to be and you’ll meet a lot of diverse people which is always exciting and fun as you’ll be introduced to a while range of traditions and cultures. Academic at Warwick is also good as it’s challenging but they provide all the support necessary for you to feel like it’s not impossible. It is a scary shift however and much ike in any university it’s easy to get lost in the crowd I think one thing Warwick could improve on is it’s communication with students as sometime things come out quite late but that’s not unexpected as it’s a large uni with a large variety of students.
worst is probably getting help for mental health stuff, best is the people
The campus is on the edge of Coventry which has great train links to Birmingham and London Euston which I’ve found to be really useful. I’ve also spent a lot of time in the FAB building for my course which is very nice to be in and my lecturers are also friendly and approachable for the most part. However as a downside there can be a fair amount of issues with accommodation and there always being maintenance and staff coming into the flat.
Wellbeing is shoved in your face before term, when everything is obviously going to be okay, but then when you want to actually talk to someone in person, like real people do, you need to take an hour out of your day between the time that you'd usually be... I don't know, in your f*cking lessons?!?! I waited an hour after being told that 20 minutes would be the average wait time. Unless they're skewing the outcomes or have so many <1 minute waiting times, that's just not true. Now about modules. They give you so much to read about in the first few weeks of term, then forget to mention (and also have no way to find out) that some classes have a relatively small class size limit. Although on the course registration page, it says that there are over 8000 places left?!! Who messes this up that badly?! And it's not just me affected by this!!! The only thing wrong with this place, and it's screwing up my entire time here. I don't know what exactly flags stuff up on here, but I don't care enough. It's enough of a sh*tshow in that aspect that it makes you wonder whether it was ever worth going to Uni, but I've now got 9k in debt, so either I've got to live with it, or not live with it.
Very high quality teaching, fun and engaging lecturers. The campus is really nice, kind of like a little town with everything within 5-10 minutes walk. Although the sports hub is more like 15 minutes walk, but worth it. The humanities building could definitely do with updating, there's a rather depressing feeling to it, luckily I'm only in there for an hour each week.
location is bad but the su is great
The area is super expensive housing wise and on campus accommodation is too pricey for the location. Great campus has a good feel and friendly atmosphere, good student life - academics and social life. Everyone who is there is similar and everyone has huge ambitions so makes it an inspiring place to be.
Warwick is a campus university and is therefore less busy than a city university, however it isn't too far from the nearest shops, train station etc. However there is no catered accommodation.
It has excellent facilities and the people are friendly. It would be better if the transportation to the city center are frequent.
Best aspects are the course and the friends I’ve made. I am really passionate about film so this course has been really fulfilling. I’ve found like minded people who I hope to know for a very long time after uni. Some of the worst things are the travelling to campus this year, the strikes leading to delays in our assignment feedback and some of the teaching. The strikes were really unfortunate, I personally wrote an email to the vice-chancellor to advocate for better pay for my lecturers and never received a response. Some of my lecturers could benefit from some specialised teaching courses as they don’t always know how to hold a lecture room. Further more the 1st year campus accommodation is a downfall of the uni. The repair people were constantly having to do jobs for people like the vice-chancellor when there were flooding in the student accommodations. It was very unfair for them and us students. I find my own joys at uni and try to overlook and sometimes improve the bad parts.

Going out on or off campus isn't student budget friendly, it's also inconvenient to have to take the bus everywhere for a night out. However, the academic support is amazing and abundant. My major's department offer lots of works shop opportunities. Though having said that it would be nice if they incorporated more support and awareness of post-grad / graduate schemes for history students specifically that aren't related to journalism and teaching .
Whilst there is a lot of support for students for this academic discipline, it sometimes feels limited in terms of career prospects after university. It would very nice if there was further support.
I enjoyed my time at student halls, the property was always clean and quiet. My room specifically was spacious and I most enjoyed having a kitchen island. However, I did think my accommodation was quite expensive compared to others.
