Why I chose Warwick...

I found out about Warwick University from various articles and university guide websites.

I had considered Bath University, Bristol University, and Kings College (London). All my other siblings are younger and have yet to reach university. Now I am pushing for my young brother, currently in sixth form, to apply for Warwick, as he wants to study Economics.

Warwick was my top choice after discovering that it had been performing considerably well in the global and UK university rankings in recent years. After further research I discovered it had one of the best business schools in the country.

I I was also attracted to its central campus layout. I visited the campus and was blown away by the facilities provided and made my decision to attend.

Was your arrival and orientation ok? What were your first impressions?

I arrived late but received a breakdown of all the information required by the Master's office when I arrived, this process was very helpful.

What do you hope to do when you graduate?
