“Finance at the University of Warwic”
paul R
Portugal, Undergraduate
Business Studies, 2020
Overall
The University of Warwick is very well known in the UK and abroad. Students evolve in a very dynamic environment and are most keen to work in the financial sector. That is mainly what I discovered after two years at Warwick, that most students are interested to launch into finance.

The degree is challenging and intensive, but equally rewarding. The quality of the teaching is excellent and the university makes a clear effort to ensure the course is updated in line with modern/recent developments in the legal field. Highly recommend.

Personal spending habits
Food is much more expensive here than it is in Germany and travel and housing as well. But I have a Young Persons Railcard which gives you up to 30% off all train fares and booking early is a way to ensure you get the cheapest tickets. The yearly (or termly) bus pass that you need when you don't have a car or bike comes with a discount coach card (30% off National Express tickets) but is quite expensive.

Accessibility of student needs
Second-hand household items
Personal comments
Household items can often be bought in charity shops .. and glasses and crockery are often fairly cheap at the beginning of term. The supemarket at the university is comparatively cheap as well.

“Warwick, a campus university with an amazing atmosphere”
Samuel L
United Kingdom,
Engineering, Mechanical, 2024
Overall
I'm really enjoying my time at the University of Warwick. My course, Engineering, is hard and there always seems to be an assignment or project to do but I'm never bored and I feel I'm learning a lot. The lecturers are helpful and and explain concepts clearly and I feel satisfied how my studies are going.
First year accommodation is on campus but one thing to note, there is no dining room, so students cook for themselves from day one or buy meals at the take outs. Social life is great and there are always loads of concerts, and things happening every day.
In my second year I 'm sharing a house with friends. Most students live in Leamington Spa, about a 20 minute bus ride from campus. For 300 pounds you can get a ticket which will enable you to travel to and fro as many times as you want on as many days of the year as you want. Not cheap but worth it in the end. The library is open 24 hours, useful if you need to pull an all-nighter when there are exams or assignment deadlines loom.
To conclude, a fantastic place to learn.

Pros
Sports facilities with swimming pool, modern labs and lots of cafes and bars.
Cons
I think offering optional dining room services in the first year would be very helpful.
