Warwick although not in a very good location offers students a great social life. Unlike universities in a city, it has a huge campus which offers a wide range of things to do. There are restaurants all over, from healthy options like bread oven (our own subway substitute!) to places where you can hog on junk food. There are also bikes all across campus that one can rent/pay a monthly see for to bike from one place to another, which I find very convenient. There’s a Tesco superstore nearby too, which offers more affordable groceries than the campus grocery store. As for value for money, I feel that the fee for Warwick business school is actually quite high for international students, with little to no aid available which is quite disappointing. I think more focus needs to be paid on creating funding opportunities for international students which makes them more motivated. As for mental well being, recent happenings have really escalated the focus on mental health and Warwick really has paid attention to ensure its students are doing well. The students union also offers lots of support for mental well being which is a plus point. There are also lots of career opportunities at WBS such as regular career fairs, events by companies such as Unilever, Amplify trading etc. which really help one gain more exposure in specific industries. By the end of it, Warwick business school provides great opportunities but needs to focus more on providing value to international students.
View moreThe diversity of people here we find in Warwick is greater than I thought and it is amazing as I get to know more about different cultures. I have found many friends from various parts of the world and have gained global exposure.
The range of societies and clubs is great we get to try different things. I am a part of the volleyball club and people in my club are very welcoming and inclusive so I had no problem with blending in even though I joined in the second term in my first year. In my first year, I opted for a twin room and was allotted a twin room in the accommodation Sherbourne. Although Sherbourne is quite far from the central campus, it is only a 5-minute walk from the newly built gym and is a very modern accommodation. The rent for a double room is half of the ensuite and hence it is an opportunity to be in a modern and nicely built accommodation at a lower cost.
I study Bsc management which is a very flexible course. Since I had always wanted to learn Spanish, in my second year I opted to learn Spanish in my course.
The location is a little secluded however since Warwick has thousands of students, one never feels that they are away from the city as it feels like a city in itself.
All in all, I believe that Warwick has given me a great experience in terms of course flexibility and social life.
