Sort:Latest reviewsBest: student feedback is always taken into consideration whether that be on a campus or departmental level, many work opportunities from working at on-campus restaurants, student ambassadors or arrival assistants, international and home students mingle very well, great facilities and study spots Worst: the location (very far from entertainment, only 2 major grocery stores nearby), only one 24h study spot (the library), busses come irregularly
student life
There is an undeniable sense of community I think because of the great range and focus on societies. I still do think there are some identities that fly under the radar for example there is no lesbian society
I love how easy it is to get around on campus as well as how advanced the biomed facilities are. An improvement would be renovating the library and the arts centre as they don’t really match the rest of the buildings, i think warwick could do with better architecture in general as well as more readily open food locations

The campus is beautiful and has a real community feel. Living on a campus like Warwick makes it impossible not to socialise. The teaching is great and it is a lovely place to live. I have had some poor experiences with student support unfortunately. I have found that well-being support is very short term, poor quality and difficult to access. Lots of things on campus such as the sports hub and Rootes grocery store are unrealistically expensive on a student budget but due to the campus set-up, there are few other options
I am a degree apprentice so my experience is a little different then a regular uni student.
Love the sports clubs and the sporting and social opportunities they provide.

Good facilities and adequate IT support. Lecturers and tutors are helpful and able to answer most questions to the best of their ability. Department and university wellbeing services were also quite supportive when I injured myself and was unable to attend classes on campus.
Very modern, great student support in so many different ways. There are a lot of society, something for everyone.
The community at Warwick is so strong, and I’ve made so many friends here, especially in societies. There a such a broad range of societies that allow me to do everything I’m interested in. The facilities for studying in are also great, and I really love the Faculty of Arts Building. To me, the biggest downsides to Warwick are the location - it’s very far from where most students in 2nd and 3rd year live in Leamington Spa -, and the staff can often be more focussed on their research rather than teaching students.
Best: Given that it is a campus university, there are many opportunities to socialise and make new friends! Worst: It would be great if there were more free events that students can enjoy, especially in terms of food or drinks as living costs have been increasing rapidly.
The sports club and societies side of the university is such a highlight and you have easy access to going out in Leamington, Coventry, and Birmingham. In terms of downsides, it is different to living in a city for university but it’s quite fun seeing someone you know wherever you go
Great sports facilities terrible public transport to and from campus
Very good course and facilities Location is very bad though and commute to uni is very long if u want to live somewhere nice
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.
Best aspects: good location, very pretty and full of nature, not very cold or very hot regardless of time of year, compact campus Worst aspects: very mixed teaching quality completely dependent on the lecturer, wildly inconsistent marking scheme, very poor communication between departments, abysmal and utterly incompetent student support that takes forever to achieve the smallest of things, unreasonable workload that has 0 empathy for students.
Could be more study spaces
The resources and facilities given feel up-to-date and very welcoming. However, sometimes the workload can be very overwhelming, especially alongside responsibilities at home and taking care of myself.

Facilities feel safe and mostly up to date, and it it located decently to most things a student would require. Teaching support is very good & it provides a great learning environment. Could be improved with general costs of accommodation, food etc on campus not being so high, and a bit more proximity to facilities with certain accommodations. Also integration of 1st years into uni life both via online applications and in person events could be a bit more thorough
Majority of lecture and seminar content is very engaging and thorough, and lectures can be attended in person or watched online. Placements etc not the best and little choice for modules in first year.
Expensive but very close to most things on campus, nice facilities (big rooms and huge kitchen) and relatively safe with fobs to enter building, kitchens and individual rooms. WiFi not the best on occasion. Room allocation very good - grouping of flatmates works very well
