University of Warwick in general

I am firmly convinced that this is one of the best universities ever. It is well known by the graduate recruiters as an intellectual powerhouse. This is evidenced by the numerous careers fairs. They are attended by the most prestigious companies eg. McKinsey, Allen Overy, Bain & Co, the list goes on. The careers service is one of the best in the country. I personally found them very helpful and most of the students I knew got the jobs they wanted. Aside from dazzling prospects post graduation, Warwick offers a lot on to enjoy while you're there. The student union has the most number of clubs and societies in the UK (over 200) and it is easy to start one if ...  Read the complete review

As a 2009 fresher, I have been at Warwick for a grand total of five weeks now and thought that it was about time that I shared my experiences of the university so far with my fellow Do-yooers. Why did I choose Warwick University? ********************************** To be perfectly honest, I only really chose to apply to this university on a whim. As many of you will know if you have ever applied to university through UCAS, it requires you to submit 5 or 6 applications for places on different courses and one day, after trying to decide which universities to apply to, I saw that Warwick looked quite nice in it's prospectus and chose the uni as one of my ...  Read the complete review

About a year ago now, I was in my second year of college and a big scary decision was looming upon us-it was time to make our UCAS applications and decide where to spend the next three years of our lives. Not something to be taken lightly, I went to all of the fairs, took all of the free stuff offered to me by eager representatives (I have so many pens now it's ridiculous) and devoured the prospectuses as my daily reading. For a while, I had my heart set on Imperial college, London. Then my dad pointed out to me that my entire student loan would probably be blown just getting around that city, never mind the odd tipple here and there. So that plan was out of the window ...  Read the complete review

My three years at the University Of Warwick were great - there was the obvious pyscho-partner issues, and the tension created by pulling numerous housemates, but on the whole it was a really wonderful time. I've got quite a lot to say about the place, so I've broken it into a few different ops and put them in the relevant sections - i.e. the clubs & societies and accommodation sections. Feel free to read those as well, if you are interested in an in depth review of each bit (please!!!), but this op will just be a very general one about the lovely place, with a brief bit about each section - make sense - Sorted!! Well, it's located ...  Read the complete review

I am not a student at Warwick but I regularly visit it. It is absolutely fantastic, the Arts Centre is great entertainment. With a bar, cafe, art gallery, theatre, and cinema it's perfect. The prices aren't too expensive either, especially for the cinema. There is also a really different shop called Sozo. Sozo sells all sorts of things, bath things, cushions, frames and also toys and joke things. It's a lovely shop. The atmosphere in the Arts Centre is really good, they welcome families and the staff are always happy to help. It is also really clean as well, there is no litter and the toilets are very hygienic. I have seen many good ...  Read the complete review
