International student experience

Students walking across Warwick campus near the Library

Hello! I’m Sambhaviy, a second-year international student from Malaysia and thought I’d write a bit about what it was like adjusting to life at Warwick. This was the first time I’ve been so far away from my family so while it was exciting to start university life, I also remember being nervous about making friends and getting good grades, among other things. To my relief, it was incredibly easy to transition into Warwick because of how friendly and helpful everyone I met was.

A week in the life of a GSD student

Hello! This week I thought I would try and give you more of an idea about what to expect from university by running through a ‘week in my life’. I would first like to start off by saying that no two people will have exactly the same timetable and mix of activities in the day – this will vary depending on what modules you pick and what sports clubs and societies you choose to get involved in! However, I hope to shed a light on the differences between university and sixth-form/ college – specifically how you have much more flexibility and control over your own schedule.

Sports and societies

As we’re approaching the Christmas holidays we thought we’d talk to you about the social side of university and all things fun! The University of Warwick has over 250 societies and sports clubs that you can join, so whatever you are interested in there’s sure to be something for you.
