Do we have to buy all these textbooks? Just been e-mailed a list
No way. Most will be available on loan from the library as and when you need them, second year students will sell them for cheap, the SU run a second-hand book sale in the first couple of weeks of term etc. Check course Facebook pages too for people selling them. Finally, buy them used or so on eBay and amazon.
They're the biggest waste of money at uni if you buy them new and that's if you buy them at all. It'll depend on your course as to how important they are, but I could honestly have not bought a single book for mine and would've been fine.
I bought most of it from Wilko. They're great for uni stuff. Or there's always Tesco - both on the nearby shopping centre at Canon Park
No, I bought my own. I'm pretty sure most accommodations are the same.

Awesome, cheers for the advice. I would never have even thought to buy cutlery...
Does anyone have any idea about when we enrol online? I've heard we have to get an email telling us to enrol before we do so, but I'm just wondering when that would be? (Info: undergrad - if that makes any kind of difference)
Looks like I'm a chemistry student in Warwick now as for acomodation the Email said we'll get info week comencing semptember 7th
Nice to meet a fellow chemist. Haven't heard of a single chemist yet starting this October, on this forum. Was starting to think I was alone. You doing BSc or MChem?
Hey there I got an email last week and it said something about enrolling.
There was a link in the email. I clicked on the enrol part but they already expect you to have an account, which I do not have.
Do you, or anyone else, have Warwick student account?
Hey! The link I received was directing me to the "Welcome to Warwick" page where we will enrol, but I haven't received an email telling me to do so. I have been given a Warwick Student ID (received it in the 'Congratulations!' email on 17th) which you use to enrol. I clicked on 'Enrol' and it told me that we log in by using our Warwick Student ID and our date of birth as the password. The deadline of the photo submission stage is September 4th (and on the FAQs it says I can't enrol before they email me to do it) so I'm getting quite restless to be honest.
Has anyone else either enrolled or received the enrolment email?

Ah yh I figured out that we weren't suppose to enrol until after they send us another email. Gosh it is actually quite confusing when they send you emails about things they're going to do because I assume that it is something that I should be doing asap, if you know what I mean.
Have you heard from Warwick about accommodation, I'm still waiting.

Yeah I think all we have to do right away (or have already done preferably) is the photo submission. We will get an enrolment maybe in a week or something.. That is the next step but not yet. No we will hear from the 7th about accommodation (We were all confused for some time. All my friends going to other universities didn't have this kind of confusion :P)
How do I submit a photo without an account? Or how do I make an account? It's a bit confusing, whenever I put in my ID and DOB, it says it hasn't been recognised so I don't know how to submit a photo!
You go onto warwick enrol, click on photo submission and then log in using the Warwick ID given to you on your confirmation email they sent around results day It'll sound stupid but are you typing it in right? I sat there for ages with the same problem before i realized i'd typed my DOB wrong...
Anybody received their Welcome packs yet through the post?
Yeah, I got mine about a week ago. The important bit, which is a booklet that goes over everything that's expected of you when you arrive, is available as a pdf somewhere on the website (sorry I can't be of more help, I can never find anything on the website). They also have a letter in there inviting your parents to a talk on the day you arrive which I think they have to sign up for. It might be a good idea to scour the website for a bit if you're worried
