Physics here. Anyone going to the 'icebreaker' or 'welcome to Warwick' events, or just planning to go to SU events?

No probs. PPE, tennis and skiing societies for sure, will probably try rowing as well. :smile:

Probably being a bit thick, but what is PPE?

Does anyone know what happens in the first couple weeks? Apparently there is no freshers week, but do you know what there is? I assume there won't be lectures day 1.

Does anyone know any of the key dates for things like events and freshers etc
All i've gotten from Warwick since results day is a confirmation email and i'm starting to get really stressed!!!

Also are there any group chats going round? Like for specific accommodations and courses?

Check the Physics page, there's a lot of useful info there. For us I think we need to go to the Physics lecture theatre at 10 am on Monday, and lectures start the next day.

Also there is already work for us to do ;P

Hey. I know this is late but I got into Warwick to study biology and I'm sooooo stoked :smile:

Please feel free to message me, especially Life Sciences students - it'd be great to get to know some people beforehand.

Hi I am going to be studying biomedical science. It's cool that we get our own gibbet hill campus. It would be nice to get to know others

Definitely gonna join the Tabletop Games and Role-playing Society, and probably the Computing one too. Past that, it depends on what some of the others actually seem to do - with some of thedescriptions on the site being pretty vague. Star Wars could be nice if it's just a group of people to relax with. Warwick Virtual Trading Society looks like it could be fun/interesting also. I'm not all too keen on sports, hence the lack of mention above - but I am partial to some Tennis or Badminton, so perhaps I'll try getting into that. You have any ideas which ones you might wanna join?
