    Living...WHERE?
    Hello everyone,

    I would like to ask you the "old" guys where I could stay at Warwick. I will study there as a postgraduate student (Oct. 2012) and I would like some ideas. I am an EU student so they may not accept my application for living in campus. So the only place to live is at Coventry? Aren't there any places closer to Warwick? Thank you!

    Do you realise that the University of Warwick campus is actually in Coventry?
    If you lived in Warwick itself you'd be further away than if you live in Coventry. Take a look at a map and you'll see what I mean.

    Most students live in either Coventry or Leamington Spa. Coventry is closer (the Canley area is the closest and you can walk in from there) but Leamington is better for the nightlife.

    Off campus options are discussed in the unsorted section of that page.

    If you apply via Warwick Accommodation, they will assist in finding you off campus accommodation if you don't get a place on campus.

    I'm not 100% sure of the details, but it was definitely on the Warwick accommodation search function at one point, and one of my friends is currently living in it.

    Your best bet for more info would be to contact the Warwick Accommodation people at Rootes Reception
