Did you consider studying anywhere else? What made you choose Warwick?

I chose Warwick over other universities not only because of its ranking but also because of how diverse the community is, as Warwick has many international students and societies catering to international students, like the Pakistani Society, the Multicultural Society, and many more. Not only that, but Warwick offers many opportunities to fund your studies, and as an international student that was extremely beneficial to me.

How did you apply and did anyone help you with your application form and visa application?

When applying for universities in the UK, I searched the university website for funding opportunities. As I am from Canada, the only funding opportunity from Warwick was the Warwick Undergraduate Global Excellence Scholarship. The university funding page provided all of the instructions on how to apply for the scholarship, and if I had any difficulties, I would email the university directly, as they were the best people to contact whenever I had any questions. Warwick offers great resources, not only on how to apply for scholarships but along on applying for visas. As I had no help from anyone else, I would always reference the Warwick page on applying for visas whenever I needed any guidance. I would say when applying for visas, apply as soon as you can so you can obtain your visa before the start date of your studies without stressing over when you will receive your visa.

How is your accommodation?

I am currently staying at Cryfield Townhouse, which is an on-campus accommodation here at Warwick. It honestly is so great. Besides the incredible view that I have, the rooms and kitchen are spacious, and I have no issue with storage. The fact that it is an en-suite makes it so much better.

What are your plans when you graduate?

When I graduate, I hope to become a solicitor at a law firm. Eventually, I hope to create my own nonprofit organization, which helps with free legal advice and/or legal help for those that cannot afford it otherwise. I feel that this would be a great way to give back to my community.
