Events
Housing Drop-in Sessions
Housing Options for Returning Students - Whether you're an undergraduate or postgraduate student returning to study at Warwick for the 2025/2026 academic year, you may already be thinking about where you'd like to live next year. Our advice is don't rush. You'll have the option to book a room on campus and take advantage of the many benefits available. Alternatively, if you're unsuccessful in securing a room on campus or you'd like to explore living off campus, you can look for suitable properties off campus using Warwick Studentpad.
Students have the opportunity to join us at our housing events to explore the accommodation options available. Wherever you decide to live - we're here to help!
