The nature of Rootes is such that there is always somebody you can be socialising with. Rootes is a sociable accommodation, but you don’t have to be. There is no pressure to socialise, everything is quite relaxed, and you can truly be yourself because you’re bound to find people you get on with here.

It was an amazing experience, with people I got on well with and I have some of the best memories made in first year because of my time in Rootes.

Campus Living
Living on campus throughout your studies is the best way to experience Warwick. You’ll find it easier to meet new people and form friendships whilst never being more than a short walk from your lectures or the amazing facilities campus has to offer.
There are endless opportunities to encounter new social experiences that complement your academic development with the chance to participate in everything from societies and sports clubs to live events.
The Warwick Community
Enjoy independent living alongside other Warwick students but in the comfort of a safe, supportive community. Our Residential Community Team live amongst students in our accommodation offering support as well as free social events throughout the year. You’ll also have a Residence Hub where a friendly member of the team will be available to help with any queries you may have about living in your residence such as cleaning or maintenance.
Then there’s the Community Safety Team, available day and night to provide pastoral care and protect the safety of everyone living and studying within the Warwick community.
Please be advised that some contracts start on a Sunday, but to ease comparison of the fees across halls, we have rounded up all the weekly let lengths to the nearest week.
