Hello, my name is Khadra,

00:00:14.634 --> 00:00:17.200
and I'm a fourth grade history and politics student.

00:00:17.210 --> 00:00:18.274
Hi, my name is Robert

00:00:18.274 --> 00:00:20.809
and I'm a final year history and politics student.

00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:27.250
I really enjoyed being a member 
of different societies on campus

00:00:27.260 --> 00:00:31.860
Warwick has over 300 societies
and sports clubs, so there's just such variety.

00:00:31.870 --> 00:00:33.790
So if there's something
you're already passionate about,

00:00:33.800 --> 00:00:37.090
there's something you can try out
and you can even start something new.

00:00:37.100 --> 00:00:38.370
Well, over the past three years,

00:00:38.380 --> 00:00:42.080
I've tried my best to get involved
as many things as I possibly could.

00:00:42.090 --> 00:00:45.870
So this involves Sports, Societies
and Student representation.

00:00:49.460 --> 00:00:52.570
In terms of sports,
I highly recommend you research

00:00:52.580 --> 00:00:54.492
into the Warwick's 'Rock Up and Play' programme.

00:00:54.492 --> 00:00:57.022
I think it's pretty unique to the university,

00:00:57.022 --> 00:00:59.270
and allows you to do a variety of sports

00:00:59.290 --> 00:01:01.329
free of charge with no commitment,

00:01:01.329 --> 00:01:03.300
regardless of your ability in that sport.

00:01:07.740 --> 00:01:10.250
In terms of societies we're a range of societies

00:01:10.260 --> 00:01:12.300
catering to all kinds of interests,

00:01:12.310 --> 00:01:15.210
but personally, I really enjoyed the Campaign societies

00:01:15.220 --> 00:01:18.580
which has involved me 
door-knocking in the 2019 election.

00:01:18.590 --> 00:01:21.280
and getting involved
with local campaigns on campus.

00:01:21.950 --> 00:01:24.830
So for myself, I've been a member 
of Labour Club for a few years

00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:26.820
and I've even attended a few morti sessions

00:01:26.830 --> 00:01:29.210
despite having no experience whatsoever.

00:01:30.180 --> 00:01:34.610
And in my second year, I was co-founder
and president of Somali society.

00:01:34.620 --> 00:01:37.040
So there's just so many things
to get involved in.

00:01:37.050 --> 00:01:39.680
And I'm sure you can always find
something that interests you,

00:01:39.690 --> 00:01:41.290
especially with the variety.

00:01:45.010 --> 00:01:47.490
Something that really appealed
to me about Warwick before I applied

00:01:47.500 --> 00:01:50.630
was that that was such a variety
of countries and universities

00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:52.240
that I could do a year abroad in

00:01:59.810 --> 00:02:03.400
And in my third year,
I ended up doing a year abroad in Canada

00:02:03.410 --> 00:02:07.132
while I was there, I took up basketball
and I was a volunteer at my local radio station

00:02:07.546 --> 00:02:09.740
and it's honestly just been
a highlight of my time

00:02:09.750 --> 00:02:11.350
here at university.
