University of Warwick

Great University with some nice facilities. People other than students also use the university grounds. I’ve seen them walking dogs, with children, attending student societies, and using the pool at the gym. It’s pretty nice seeing the campus being useful for the local people as well.
I really loved spending time outdoors here, there is also a nice forest/park nearby. It’s fascinating what sort of wildlife lives here!

Spent 2 days here taking our twin daughters for an open day. The campus is incredibly well designed and appointed. The students all appeared very happy and engaged. The faculty couldn't do enough to welcome us and answer all our questions. This really appears to be a top notch uni.

Great offer holders open day at the university. Nice weather for a tour of the campus with a lovely knowledgeable international guide. Informative and friendly talk and labs from the computer science department. Excellent interactive final session with computer science where 12 students and a lively lecturer involved the guests in asking a wide range of questions over half an hour. Unfortunately the introductory talk by the university in general which was supposed to be held three times was only held twice thus we not able to make it. Different departments had different lunch arrangements and thus computer science gave out vouchers whereas economics had a buffet outside the lecture. Also parking at the designated car park for open day visitors was very expensive at £7 for the day and had to be purchased via telephone or app. This open day definitely increases the chance that our son will pick Warwick as his first choice.

We attended the Uni Open Day for a potential venue for our son for a degree in languages/linguistics
As far as the campus it's absolutely delightful, lovely surroundings with lots of space, mainly modern buildings mixed with greener areas, a really pleasant environment.
I went to Hatfield Polytechnic (as was but now University of Hertfordshire) and that seemed large then but Warwick is an enormous campus Uni.  Very impressive.
I'll add to the review when we've finished our Open Day tour.

Better UK University in overall ranking, Good University campus, excellent facilities.

Pros :
- Good University ranking in many subjects
- Fabulous campus
- Excellent facilities except Graduation ceremony

Cons :
Worst in organising Graduation Ceremony.
- Worst seating arrangements for guests and graduates.
- Flat seating in a temporary tent structure.
- Guests will not be able to see their son /daughter graduation ceremony - due to the flat seating arrangement. They can watch the ceremony in the overhead screens though - Better you can watch from your couch at  home, rather than coming here and watch the graduation ceremony in overhead screens in a temporary shed …
- Car Parking around One and half kilometre away .. walk for 20 minutes - if you are walking slow allow more time to walk and reach the so called Graduation venue …
- Overall a complete disappointment..
- University authorities need to spend money wisely and find better Graduation ceremony organisers - who got experience in organising better graduation ceremonies- including knowledge about how the seating should be - how guests will have better view of the graduation ceremony.
