Coventry University in general Reviews
Newest Review: ... little further south/south west of the city centre. Overall facilities at the University are quite good and suit all of my personal needs. There are various computer rooms throughout the campus buildings, with a large amount of computers in the library buildings too. They have recently been upgraded to Windows 7, and the Journalism and Media campus has Mac desktops, however the computers in the Business and English faculty are still running on Windows Vista. My only complaint about these facilities is that besides the language centre and fifth floor computer rooms, the other computer rooms are like hidden gems. If you can't find a computer... more

My decision to come to Coventry University was made on the 30th of August 2009, days before the majority of undergraduates would be moving their lives to new cities and beginning their University careers. My unconditional offer to another University had fallen through for unfortunate reasons yet I was not willing to wait another year to get my degree, so I blindly searched through clearing for a place offering my course and chose Coventry. Coventry lies in the heart of the West Midlands, only a short journey away from Birmingham. The city itself is relatively small (in fact, from the bridge over the ring road outside my house, I can see from one side of the ... Read the complete review

I Read some awful comments when I first started at Coventry. As my third choice, it was pretty gutting! But your class mates, room mates will be in the same situation and be mostly normal ;). There's always option of switching rooms, flats, buildings and courses! Its easy to change within the first term or year! Freshers year will be spend drunk or extremely drunk, Coventry has lots of student nights - see jumping jacks,lava and Kasbah for sure. Tons of bars and pubs to go too, and they're cheap as piss now at from 80/90p, tho was 50p a drink and mixer in the hay days. Entry is average too. If you know well, you'll stay at callice and singer or a ... Read the complete review

Avoid Apollo house like the plague!!!!! I have just been sent a bill for £100 to replace a dirty mattress thatwas soiled when I arrived but did not notice because it was against the wall . On arrival at Apollo house you have to fill out an inventory form, which I did because I did not want to be charged. But number 1 I did not think to flip the mattress number 2 I do not have the strength in me to flip the mattress. It took two people to do it so how the expected me to do it I have no idea! They have not been understanding at all, they will charge for anything. If you do not pay they threaten to withhold your degree! Apollo house will not allow you to have ... Read the complete review

It's easy to look at Coventry University and think "rubbish city", "rubbish nightlife", "rubbish academics" "former polytechnic? no thanks", and yes as an A-level student who barely scraped C's and D's due to pure laziness (rarely did homework, missed lots of lessons) I didn't really have many options in terms of University. I certainly didn't have the grades to get into the "good" universities (Redbricks, and certainly not OxBridge) so I had to settle with what I could get - tariff-point universities and former polytechnics. I picked CovU because I lived in Coventry, and personally didn't really have the ... Read the complete review
