Connections: Emily Smith

What’s your standout memory of Warwick?

The incredible fifteen people I shared accommodation with at Rootes in 2014. One of which is now my husband!

How would you sum up Warwick in the time that you were there and your generation of students?

Welcoming, friendly and supportive.

What was the student culture like at Warwick, and were there any annual traditions, societies, sports clubs, or events that you remember?

Wednesday night ‘Pop’ at the student union and regular ‘Skool Dayz’ nights. Going to watch Warwick University Rugby Union vs Coventry Uni in 2015 at the then Ricoh Arena. The match was played ahead of a Premiership game of Harlequins vs Wasps. As a lifelong Harlequins fan, this was an amazing experience.

Finish the sentence: Warwick influenced who I am today, because…

My time there shaped my entire life. I met my husband on day one.
