Parent and Student Resources

Worries about going to University

You may worry if your son or daughter will settle in, make friends and even whether or not they’ll be able to cook for themselves. Watch the video below and hear from parents of our current students about their worries when their children were applying to Warwick.

First impressions

Making the decision to go to Warwick

Deciding which university to go to is a big step; so we’ve asked our students and their parents to share their experiences of choosing Warwick and how they’ve found their course.

Accommodation

Length: 9 minutes

Dropping off your son or daughter to their student halls is as big as their first day at school, except they’re not going to come back home at the end of the day. They get to experience a new place, new people and become more independent. As exciting as it is, it’s not an easy day for parents. Hear what our students and their parents have to say about that first day of moving into their accommodation.
